Try to run:

del %appdata%\Temp\react-* & del %appdata%\Temp\metro-* & del %appdata%\Temp\haste-* & watchman watch-del-all & npm start -- --reset-cache

If it still doesn't work you could try 2 solutions here:

Upgrade react-native to 0.57.2

or downgrade babel, from what I know RN 0.54 uses babel 6 not 7.

Here is a configuration that worked for me for RN 0.57:

React native upgrade from babel 6 to babel 7

Please try adding these transform rules into your package.json:

"jest": {
  "preset": "react-native",
  "transform": {
    "^.+\\.js$": "<rootDir>/node_modules/react-native/jest/preprocessor.js"
  },
  "transformIgnorePatterns": [
    "node_modules/(?!(jest-)?react-native)"
  ]
},
