Support for React 17

[layershifter]

An RC for React 17 was released: https://reactjs.org/blog/2020/08/10/react-v17-rc.html

And it does not work with React 17, oops:

Working on an isolated repro ✍️

@VictorQueiroz no, and don't contradict a maintainer.

Right? How dare he contradict a maintainer?!

@aaryn101 about whether the project is maintained? yes, that's right, since only maintainers get a say on that.

I think what @JWBrownie was meant to ask was if Enzyme will be supporting React 17 and 18. We can expect this will never be the case. So even if the project is still maintained, it won't work with current and feature versions of React.

thanks for your answer may I ask why this won't be the case?

@sbaechler it will indeed eventually be the case, and your expectation is incorrect.

This thread is complete madness.

From the perspective of anyone else, it is quite dead: no new publishes to npm for 4 years, no support for React 17 (much less 18), no meaningful changes to the repo for at least 6 months.

At this point, anyone who had plans to move past React 16 has likely long since moved off of enzyme. I thank the maintainers for their work but from the perspective of someone who has once used this library and been forced to move on, it is dead.

@aaryn101 the react 16 adapter was published 8 months ago, it's just that enzyme core hasn't had a publish in that long.

You can choose what you use, but something isn't "dead" merely because you've decided it.
