Jest not preprocessing my JSX

Question

I am following the Jest tutorial to test a react component and am running into preprocessing issues with my jsx. I assume the error is due to preprocessing, the error messag

I had a similar problem, and the solution was adding this to jest config file:

"transform": {
      "^.+\\.js$": "babel-jest",
      "^.+\\.jsx$": "babel-jest"  // This line was missing
}

The reason it was needed in our project, is because we overridden the default "transform" value in jest config file.
