What problem does this feature solve?

We recently updated our Vue test suite to beta 33 from beta 29, and a lot of our tests broke because we were expecting many DOM changes to take effect immediately, when now they happen after nextTick. This is fine: it's well documented and mimics how a component behaves in "real life", so no problems there.

We had to pepper our tests with a lot of await wrapper.vm.$nextTick, and figured we might be able to drop a few lines if we can have the interactions with our wrapper objects return a promise instead of the tests having to create and await them. Normally we would call it after each setData, setProps or trigger call to the wrapper, but I'm sure there are other methods that could benefit from it as well.

Maybe this is not too disruptive, since those methods currently return void, so I'm guessing most workflows would be unaffected. It would just offer an alternative to those who prefer a shorter syntax.

The Vue function is already imported in test-utils/src/wrapper.js, so I ran a quick test and this worked fine:

/**
 * Dispatches a DOM event on wrapper
 */
trigger(type: string, options: Object = {}) {
  // ...

  const event = createDOMEvent(type, options)
  this.element.dispatchEvent(event)

  return Vue.nextTick()
}

What does the proposed API look like?

Taking the example listed in the current documentations for using nextTick:

// Before (would still work as is)
it('button click should increment the count text', async () => {
  expect(wrapper.text()).toContain('0')
  const button = wrapper.find('button')
  button.trigger('click')
  await wrapper.vm.$nextTick()
  expect(wrapper.text()).toContain('1')
})
// After
it('button click should increment the count text', async () => {
  expect(wrapper.text()).toContain('0')
  const button = wrapper.find('button')
  await button.trigger('click')
  expect(wrapper.text()).toContain('1')
})

Doesn't seem like much of a trim, but in our case at least it adds up to quite a few lines.

I'd love to know what you guys think, and thanks for your effort on this library.

Hey, it's in the pipeline for V1. We will probably ship it very soon.
