Couldn't find preset "module:metro-react-native-babel-preset" relative to directory

Configuring Jest in React Native 0.57.0

I'm trying to get a baseline React Native app setup. Unfortunately, I kept running into problems with configuring Jest. When I run yarn test, I'd get this failure:

Error
C:\Users\sapan\Desktop\react native\Hello>npm test

> Hello@0.0.1 test C:\Users\sapan\Desktop\react native\Hello
> jest

 FAIL  __tests__/Home.js
  ● Test suite failed to run

Solution

the jest section of package.json should look like this:

  "jest": {
    "preset": "react-native",
    "transform": { "^.+\\.js$": "<rootDir>/node_modules/react-native/jest/preprocessor.js" }
  }

"jest": {

"preset": "react-native",

"transform": { "^.+\\.js$": "<rootDir>/node_modules/react-native/jest/preprocessor.js" }

}
