[mocha test] SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

See original GitHub issue

original source,

import React from 'react';
import {
  View,
  Text,
} from 'react-native';

const ChatList = () => (
  <View>
    <Text>Hello world</Text>
  </View>
);

export default ChatList;

mocha test runs fine.

after i added this code,

import { Container, Header, Content, Footer, Title } from 'native-base';

and run mocha test,

it throws

mocha --require react-native-mock/mock.js --compilers js:babel-core/register src/*/.t est.js --watch
