It’s because babel core and runtime are out of date when you upgrade.

Even though the package.json specifies an earlier version when you start a new project from scratch it installs a newer version that works. I am sure all testing was done from scratch.

Force an update to:

“@babel/core”: 7.20.5 “@babel/runtime”: 7.20.6

The versions I supplied came right from the lock files of a new install and resolve the issue.
