Describe the bug
text() returns element instead of text

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

src/namaskaara.tsx

import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

import './app.css'; // contains a single line @import '~bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';

import { Alert } from 'reactstrap';

export const namaskaara =
          <div>
            <Alert color="info">namaskaara react !</Alert>
          </div>;

src/test/namaskaara.spec.tsx

import React from 'react';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import { Alert } from 'reactstrap';

import { namaskaara } from '../namaskaara';

it('renders correctly', () => {
  const wrapper = shallow(namaskaara);
  expect(wrapper.find('div').equals(<div><Alert color="info">namaskaara react !</Alert></div>)).toBe(true); // passes
  expect(wrapper.find(Alert).equals(<Alert color="info">namaskaara react !</Alert>)).toBe(true); // passes
  expect(wrapper.find(Alert).text()).toEqual('namaskaara react !'); // fails
  console.log(wrapper.find(Alert).text()); // shows <Alert /> instead of namaskaara react !
});

Expected behavior
expect that text() returns 'namaskaara react !'

You're using shallow rendering - which means the Alert will not be rendered initially. You can use wrapper.find(Alert).shallow().text(), however.

wrapper.dive().dive().text() worked for me. You can chain as many dives as you need.

None of the above work anymore, how is this seemingly trivial task achieved these days?

I see you’ve filed a new issue; i assure you the way the above works has not changed.
