Fails after `npm install` (TypeError: Cannot read property 'program' of null)

See original GitHub issue

I run with this issue in one of my projects.

I cloned detrohutt/babel-plugin-inline-import-graphql-ast run npm run test then faced the same issue :

 FAIL  tests/schema.test.js
  ● simple schema document › inlines as raw unparsed text'

    TypeError: Cannot read property 'program' of null

    > 69 |           return ast.program.body[0]
