SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

[Jeet989]

Description

Unable to run jest after installing the navigation dependency and the required other dependencies. I think so you can reproduce this issue by creating a new project as well. Here, I have also created a new project with the same issue and below is the git link.

Here is the issue screenshot:

Steps to reproduce

Just create a new project and add the react navigation dependencies. Then add the reanimated library and configure it with the proper jest files and then you will be able to get the same issue.

@Jeet989 How did you resolve this issue?

[Jeet989]

@andrzej-hanusek-tg not yet. I am trying to see if I get any solution

@Jeet989

Try to with jest.config.js like below

{
  "preset": "react-native",
  "moduleFileExtensions": ["ts", "tsx", "js", "jsx", "json", "node"],
  "setupFiles": ["./node_modules/react-native-gesture-handler/jestSetup.js"],
  "setupFilesAfterEnv": ["./jest-setup.js"],
  "transformIgnorePatterns": ["jest-runner"],
  "testTimeout": 30000,
  "moduleNameMapper": {
    "\\.svg": "<rootDir>/__mocks__/svgMock.js",
    "^@/(.*)$": "<rootDir>/src/$1"
  }
}

and jest-setup.js

import '@testing-library/jest-native/extend-expect';
require('react-native-reanimated/lib/reanimated2/jestUtils').setUpTests();

global.ReanimatedDataMock = {
  now: () => Date.now(),
};

jest.mock('react-native/Libraries/EventEmitter/NativeEventEmitter');
});

Have the same problem

[markcabadsan]

Try to add react-native-reanimated to transformIgnorePatterns in package.json

 "transformIgnorePatterns": [
      "node_modules/(?!(@react-native|react-native|react-native-reanimated)/)"
    ],
