Cannot test that a component throws an error

[JessicaSachs]

Current behavior

Cannot test that a component throws an error. Always fails the test because Cypress has no .catch method.

Desired behavior

Can test a component throws an error

Test code to reproduce

import { mount } from '@cypress/react'

it('throws', (done) => {
  cy.on('uncaught:exception', (err, runnable) => {
    expect(err.message).to.include('Expected to throw')
    done()
    return false
  })

  const MyComponent = () => {
    const throwError = () => throw new Error('Expected to throw')
    return <div onClick={ throwError }>Click me to throw</div>
  }

  mount(<MyComponent></MyComponent>)
    .get('div')
    .click()
})

Any news on this?? Really effecting how we are working on an external component package.

@ilovegithub2 could you provide an example of a component that would require this functionality?

This should be working correctly post #23916 merging.

If not, please open a new issue with a minimal reproduction.
