jest: Test suite failed to run, SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

Jest sets the env variable to test, so I had to add my presets to the env setting in .babelrc:

{
  "plugins": ["syntax-dynamic-import", "transform-runtime"],
  "presets": [
    [
      "es2015",
      {
        "modules": false
      }
    ],
    "react",
    "stage-0"
  ],
  "env": {
    "start": {
      "presets": [
        "react-hmre"
      ]
    },
    "test": {
      "presets": ["es2015", "react", "stage-0"]
    }
  }
}

Each yearly preset only compiles what was ratified in that year. babel-preset-env replaces es2015, es2016, es2017, latest

Based on this, on latest configurations you must use/replace your Plugins/Preset of es2015 and any esX to the new one: env.

1. You must install babel-preset-env with npm install.
2. In your .babelrc you should update accordingly:

{
  "presets": [
    "env", 
    "stage-0", 
    "react-native"
  ],
  "plugins": ...
}

☝️ Remember the order of the plugins/preset in the array is important.
