jest: Test suite failed to run, SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

Question

This is my jest configuration from the package.json file:

\"jest\": {
    \"automock\": false,
    \"browser\": true,
    \"moduleNameMapper\": {
      \"\\\         


        

Answer 1

In my case, I had the following .babelrc config:

{
  "presets": [
    ["env", { "modules": false }],
    "react",
    "stage-2"
  ],
  "plugins": [
    "transform-runtime",
    "transform-class-properties",
    "react-hot-loader/babel"
  ]
}

Even though babel-env was specified I still got the error. To fix it I had to remove the "modules": false flag.
