Steps to Reproduce

(Write your steps here:)

1. cd to my-app

3. notice app works importing testobj successfully. Browser displays: 'testob: '+JSON.stringify(testob) testob: {“k1”:“v1”,“k2”:“v2”,“k3”:“v3”}

4. npm test FAIL src\App.test.js ● Test suite failed to run

   PATH\gold-line-sac\src\m\gold-line-data.mjs:48 export const testobj = {“k1”:“v1”, “k2”:“v2”, “k3”:“v3”}; ^^^^^^

Hi, Ricardo.

I am not “using” ReactDOM . This is the way create-react-app comes out of the box.

I am reporting a create-react-app bug.

I expect, if i do nothing to cause a problem, that running npm test on an almost out of the box create-react-app, will not display a failure message.

I know i have not caused a problem because when i run npm start, the app works. It imports testobj successfully. the browser displays: 'testob: '+JSON.stringify(testob) testob: {“k1”:“v1”,“k2”:“v2”,“k3”:“v3”}

Thanks for your comment, Ricardo. Love and peace, Joe
