jest 24 with babel 6 and babel-jest 23 #8230

🐛 Bug Report

Re-opening #8155

I've been unsuccessful at following the documentation for running Jest 24 with Babel 6. Specifically, I'm seeing this error:

Plugin/Preset files are not allowed to export objects, only functions.

If using Yarn, one possible workaround is adding "resolutions": {"babel-jest": "23.6.0"} to package.json.

To Reproduce

Clone https://github.com/jochakovsky/Jest-24-Babel-6-preset-bug
yarn install
yarn run test

Expected behavior

Jest 24 should transpile test and src files using Babel 6

That's weird, I could have sworn I tested it... #5932 explicitly uses require.resolve instead of trying to resolve from a user's project.

@arcanis could we do something like

    try {
      babelJest = Resolver.findNodeModule('babel-jest', {basedir});
    } catch (e) {
      // ignored
    }
    if (!babelJest) {
      babelJest = require.resolve('babel-jest');
    }
    options.transform = {
      [DEFAULT_JS_PATTERN]: babelJest,
    };

instead of just require.resolve?

SimenB · 2019-04-03T12:37:02Z

@jochakovsky workaround is to add a jest.config.js file

module.exports = {
  transform: {
    '^.+\\.[jt]sx?$': require.resolve('babel-jest')
  }
};

jochakovsky · 2019-04-03T18:05:03Z

@SimenB Thank you, the workaround works for me!

@SimenB can you add this to official document ?

I met this issue with babel@6 / jest@24 / babel-jest@23 at the same time
update this setting work fine finally !

@jochakovsky @SimenB :help: the workaround doesn't work for me.

nathanarritt · 2019-07-09T20:52:45Z

@lin-credible The issue might be that you installed version 24 of babel-jest as opposed to version 23. I just installed version 23 and added the transform to my package.json file and it works as expected.
yarn add babel-jest@^23.6.0 -D
package.json
{ "jest": { "transform": { "^.+\\.[jt]sx?$": "<rootDir>/node_modules/babel-jest" } } }

pkit · 2019-11-21T16:10:45Z

No it does not.

require.resolve('babel-jest') resolves to 23.6.0 but without "workaround" I'm getting Plugin/Preset files are not allowed to export objects, only functions and with it I'm getting Requires Babel "^7.0.0-0", but was loaded with "6.26.3".
Like literally adding jest.config.js causes Requires Babel "^7.0.0-0" immediately

Hi there, i'm using NPM here, and this issue still happens, but my error message is

unexpected token import

using jest@24, babel-jest@23, and babel 6

EDIT:

Solved the issue by downgrade jest to jest@23 👌

StioDevolpper · 2020-03-11T16:25:32Z

using jest 24 with babel 6 and babel-jest 23 with the workaround I'm getting this error Plugin / Preset files are not allowed to export objects only functions .. !

mbdebian · 2020-07-05T15:34:19Z

using jest 24 with babel 6 and babel-jest 23 with the workaround I'm getting this error Plugin / Preset files are not allowed to export objects only functions .. !

I got passed that error by adding the following at the end of my babelrc:

"test": [
        "jest"
    ]

This way, my whole babelrc file content looks like this:

{
    "presets": [
        "env",
        "react"
    ],
    "plugins": [
        "transform-class-properties",
        "transform-object-rest-spread"
    ],
    "test": [
        "jest"
    ]
}

But I can't get passed the following error when trying to write test cases for some React action generators:

 FAIL  src/tests/actions/expenses.test.js
  ● Test suite failed to run

    Jest encountered an unexpected token

    This usually means that you are trying to import a file which Jest cannot parse, e.g. it's not plain JavaScript.

    By default, if Jest sees a Babel config, it will use that to transform your files, ignoring "node_modules".

    Here's what you can do:
     • To have some of your "node_modules" files transformed, you can specify a custom "transformIgnorePatterns" in your config.
     • If you need a custom transformation specify a "transform" option in your config.
     • If you simply want to mock your non-JS modules (e.g. binary assets) you can stub them out with the "moduleNameMapper" config option.

    You'll find more details and examples of these config options in the docs:
    https://jestjs.io/docs/en/configuration.html

    Details:

    /home/site/expensify-app/src/tests/actions/expenses.test.js:8
    import { addExpense, editExpense, removeExpense } from '../../actions/expenses'; // Test cases
           ^

    SyntaxError: Unexpected token {

      at Runtime._execModule (node_modules/jest-runtime/build/index.js:1179:56)

Apparently, jest doesn't understand ES6 import statement, and I've tried many different things, including downgrading jest, none of them worked.
