☂️ Changes for the next major (v6)

[Belco90]

⚠️ WIP: Pending to ellaborate more on each point

This is just an umbrella ticket for keeping track of breaking changes for the next major version (v6):

• [x] Drop support for node v12, which reaches EOL in 2022-04-30, and node v17, which reaches EOL in 2022-06-01
• [x] Enable no-manual-cleanup in React and Vue shareable configs (we don't know if the test runner in the codebase has the necessary setup hooks tho, so it could be risky)
• [x] Enable no-global-regexp-flag-in-query in all shareable configs
• [x] Enable no-await-sync-events in DOM, Angular and React shareable configs
• [x] Enable no-node-access in DOM shareable config
• [x] Enable reporting all methods by default in no-debugging-utils
• [x] Change error level for no-debugging-utils from "error" to "warning"
• [x] Make rules naming consistent (pending rules rename from v5)
• [x] Update internal helpers for considering the new React Testing Library renderHook util
• [x] Update internal helpers for considering the new async and setup behavior of user-event v14
• [x] Rename no-render-in-setup to no-render-in-lifecycle so it's not confused with preventing renders nested in a setup function.
• [x] Transform await-fire-event into await-async-events
• [x] Remove prefer-wait-for rule, since wait, waitForElement and waitForDomChange have been removed already
• [x] Drop support for <framework>-testing-library modules, in favor of supporting only the testing-library scoped format (except for Marko)

await-async-events 👌 Just wasted some time not knowing userEvents are async 😫

Just wasted some time not knowing userEvents are async 😫

Sorry to hear that! They are async only from v14 tho, they were sync before such version. We updated no-await-sync-events to reflect this, but we need to convert await-fire-event into await-async-events too.
