Jest not parsing es6: SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

Question

Answer 1

I have some useful information that can be used as a reference for those who see this problem later.

By default, transformIgnorePatterns in jest config was ["/node_modules/", "\.pnp\.[^\/]+$"]

If some guys issue was caused by some code in node_modules and do not overwrite this value, babel-jest still not working.

Maybe the correct value like this "/node_modules/(?!(your-third-part-es-module-code|others-es-lib))"
