How do you unit test a Vue.js functional component with a render function that returns any array of elements?

In Vue.js, a functional component can return multiple root nodes by using a render function that returns an array of createdElements.

export default {
  functional: true,
  props: ['cellData'],
  render: function (h, context) {
    return [
      h('td', context.props.cellData.category),
      h('td', context.props.cellData.description)
    ]
  }
}

This works great but I'm having trouble trying to create a unit test for such a component. Using shallowMount on the component results in [Vue warn]: Multiple root nodes returned from render function. Render function should return a single root node.

import { shallowMount } from '@vue/test-utils'
import Cell from '@/components/Cell'

wrapper = shallowMount(Cell, {
  context: {
    props: {
      cellData {
        category: 'foo',
        description: 'bar'
      }
    }
  }
});

This github issue suggests that the component needs to be wrapped in a single root node to actually render it, but trying that results in [vue-test-utils]: mount.context can only be used when mounting a functional component

import { shallowMount } from '@vue/test-utils'
import Cell from '@/components/Cell'

wrapper = shallowMount('<div><Cell></div>', {
  context: {
    props: {
      cellData {
        category: 'foo',
        description: 'bar'
      }
    }
  }
});

So how do I test a functional component that returns multiple root nodes?
