baseElement is missing in v7

[TAGraves]

In v6, the result of calling render included a baseElement property (see https://www.native-testing-library.com/docs/next/api-main#baseelement). baseElement was the root element of the render result.

In v7, baseElement is no longer returned from render.

I do wonder if it would be better to just deprecate this and include a notice in the migration guide. Looking over our tests at Root, most of them seemed to be misunderstand what baseElement did anyway, and so our tests were written in a way that could never fail. For example I see a lot of cases like:

expect(baseElement).toBeEnabled()

but with v6's implementation, that would always return true -- since baseElement was a View rendered by the AppContainer and couldn't be disabled. In our internal PR migrating to v7 we replaced baseElement with the results of more specific queries and didn't have any problem.

I'm good with not adding that (no one actually requested the feature for years) and adding a note to the migration guide.

@TAGraves is baseElement something similar to container from React Testing Library?

container reference to the DOM node where the component is mounted
