Error on running jest tests

I find this error to be invoked by using package react-native-root-siblings which in new release is using static-container package which is not transformed with babel.

Quick fix is to install older version of package npm install [email protected]

Thanks!

you could use this as a work around too

"jest": {
    "preset": "react-native",
    "transformIgnorePatterns": [
      "node_modules/?!(react-native-root-siblings)"
    ]
}

ignore react-native-root-siblings didn't work for me, but ignore static-container works.

"jest": {
    "preset": "react-native",
    "transformIgnorePatterns": [
      "node_modules/(?!static-container)"
    ]
  },

Not working, please help me how can test the component. If I remove this then all works fine.

      "node_modules/(?!static-container)"

  },

This is a good workaround but is only necessary because the authors of this library don't pre-compile their files. This is sadly one for the static-container maintainers so this should probs be closed with some docs added to the README.

How about this

"transformIgnorePatterns": [
      "/node_modules/(?!react-native)/.+"
 ],
