I'm trying to run a test on a React component but keep receiving the following error


    /Users/emmy/Desktop/project/__tests__/components/ClientBasket/basket.test.jsx:1
    import React from 'react';
           ^^^^^

    SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

      at Runtime._execModule (node_modules/jest-runtime/build/index.js:1166:56)

Test Suites: 1 failed, 1 total

Snapshots:   0 total

Ran all test suites matching /__tests__/i.
(node:79620) ExperimentalWarning: The fs.promises API is experimental

Test Script: 

import React from 'react';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import Basket from '../../src/components/ClientBasket/basket';

const setUp = (props={}) => {
    const component = shallow(<Basket {...props}/>);
    return component;

};

describe('Basket', () => {
    it('should render properly', () => {
        const component = setUp();
        console.log(component.debug())
        const wrapper = component.find('.perproduct')
        expect(wrapper.length).toBe(1);
    })
})

How can I debug this issue? I've tried many things, but I just can't find the solution.

First, you need to have babel-jest setup. (https://jestjs.io/docs/en/getting-started).

Second, make sure you are using babel-preset-react (https://babeljs.io/docs/en/6.26.3/babel-preset-react). Your babel config should contain '@babel/preset-react' in the presets section.

If you have all of that configured and it's still not working, then you most likely don't have your package.json set up correctly. It should have these lines in the jest configuration to make sure babel plays nicely with jsx files.

    "transform": {
      "\\.js$": "<rootDir>/node_modules/babel-jest",
      "\\.jsx$": "<rootDir>/node_modules/babel-jest"
    },
    "moduleFileExtensions": [
      "js",
      "jsx"
    ]

If you need more help, then you should post your package.json and babel config file.
