How to represent an empty list item / TODO list item in unit test

[OliverWales]

I'm writing a unit test to test the behaviour I'm expecting in #2596. This requires me to emulate pressing backspace in a node following an empty list item node. I've tried variations of the following:

const input = (
  <editor>
    <hul>
      <hli>
        <hlic>
          <hp></hp>
        </hlic>
      </hli>
    </hul>
    <hp>
      <cursor />
      two
    </hp>
  </editor>
) as any as PlateEditor;

const expected = (
  <editor>
    <hul>
      <hli>
        <hlic>two</hlic>
      </hli>
    </hul>
  </editor>
) as any as PlateEditor;

const editor = createPlateEditor({
  editor: input,
  plugins: [createListPlugin()],
});

editor.deleteBackward('character');

expect(editor.children).toEqual(expected.children);

But running it causes a crash with the message "Cannot get the start point in the node at path [] because it has no start text node."

What am I doing wrong? How can I emulate the behaviour demonstrated in the issue?

Managed to fix it by using <htext />, input:

const input = (
  <editor>
    <hul>
      <hli>
        <hlic>
          <htext />
        </hlic>
      </hli>
    </hul>
    <hp>
      <cursor />
      two
    </hp>
  </editor>
) as any as PlateEditor;
