Unexpected import token - testing React Native with Jest

Try adding transformIgnorePatterns to your package.json:

{
  "name": "MyAwesomeApp",
  ...
  "jest": {
    "transformIgnorePatterns": ["/node_modules/"]
  }
}

For me Jest works out of the box, however:

$ react-native init MyAwesomeApp
$ cd MyAwesomeApp
$ npm test
...
Tests:       2 passed

I'm using React Native v0.37.0.

Figured it out, basically throw any node modules that use es6 syntax in transformIgnorePatterns.

"transformIgnorePatterns": [
   "node_modules/(?!react-native|native-base|react-clone-referenced-element)"
],
