Error I'm getting Anytime I run npm test:
FAIL ./App.test.js
● Test suite failed to run
Jest encountered an unexpected token
This usually means that you are trying to import a file which Jest cannot parse, e.g. it's not plain JavaScript.
By default, if Jest sees a Babel config, it will use that to transform your files, ignoring "node_modules".
Here's what you can do:
• If you are trying to use ECMAScript Modules, see https://jestjs.io/docs/en/ecmascript-modules for how to enable it.
• To have some of your "node_modules" files transformed, you can specify a custom "transformIgnorePatterns" in your config.
• If you need a custom transformation specify a "transform" option in your config.
• If you simply want to mock your non-JS modules (e.g. binary assets) you can stub them out with the "moduleNameMapper" config option.
You'll find more details and examples of these config options in the docs:
https://jestjs.io/docs/en/configuration.html

My Test:
import 'react-native';
import React from 'react';
import { render } from '@/../testing/test-utils'
import App from './App'
test('should render app component', () => {
const result = render(<App />)
expect(result).toMatchSnapshot()
})
My test-utils.js file:
import React from 'react'
import { render } from '@testing-library/react-native'
import { store } from '@/bootstrap/redux'
import { Provider } from 'react-redux'
const AllTheProviders = ({ children }) => {
return (
<Provider store={store}>
{children}
</Provider>
)
}
const customRender = (ui, options) =>
render(ui, { wrapper: AllTheProviders, ...options })
// re-export everything
export * from '@testing-library/react-native'
// override render method
export { customRender as render }

What I've tried: Adding "type": "module" to my root level package.json file, which fixed a similar error with exporting, Adding Transform Ignore Patterns to the Jest key in the package.json file. I'd added ALL of my dependencies to the transformIgnorePatterns as it kept throwing errors on each one, until I added all and now it throws on react-native modules imports.
