Why do I get an "Unexpected identifier" error running "mount component" Jest test with react-vis chart?

I'm trying to run a basic "mount React component" test in Jest. The test is

test("Create App component", () => {
  const div = document.createElement("div");
  ReactDOM.render(<App />, div);
  ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode(div);
});

The test infrastructure was set up using create-react-app.

The App component has a child that uses react-vis components.

When I try to run the test, I get the following error

import _AbstractSeries from './plot/series/abstract-series';
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

Any advice on how to get this test working?
