Angular 6+: SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

Its not working for me. I am using Angular 6+ but I always get this error:

src\setup-jest.ts:1
    ({"Object.<anonymous>":function(module,exports,require,__dirname,__filename,global,jest){import 'jest-preset-angular';
                                                                                             ^^^^^^

    SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

      at ScriptTransformer._transformAndBuildScript (node_modules/jest-runtime/build/script_transformer.js:403:17)

What can be the issue? How can we resolve it?

hi all, please add "module": "commonjs", to your tsconfig.spec.json. It will solve your issue 😃

@l7960261 you can try to run clear cache of jest, it should solve after modifying tsconfig.spec.json. It worked for me. Here is the repo
