Tests nested within describe unable to run

Bug

What is the current behavior?

Using this test code,

Test nested within a describe block, whether using it or test does not run, I get this error:

If I add a simple non-nested test to the file, the output changes and that simple test is recognized, but not the nested test in the same file.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and either a repl.it demo through https://repl.it/languages/jest or a minimal repository on GitHub that we can yarn install and yarn test.

What is the expected behavior?

Should allow me to nest test or it within describe

Please provide your exact Jest configuration

Version: ^22.4.3

Config:

Run npx envinfo --preset jest in your project directory and paste the results here

describe cannot be async. Put the asynchronous work you’re doing into the test, or in a beforeEach/beforeAll

@alaboudi Use test inside describe:

describe('booleans', () => {
  test('true is itself', () => {
    expect(true).toBe(true);
  });
});
