Description

Problem Description

In @react-native-windows/cli we have tests for autolinking (i.e. react-native autolink-windows) and project config (i.e. react-native config`) that create test projects to verify functionality.

The code explicitly uses a custom project creation that uses the "old" templating system and thereby does not test new architecture projects.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Open packages/@react-native-windows/cli
  2. Run yarn test
Expected Results

Tests use new architecture templates to ensure that they work properly.

CLI version

15.0.0-alpha.2
