Description

I followed the docs to add @testing-library/jest-native to use custom matchers. I added the dependency, created a jest.config.js file, pasted code as mentioned in docs, and try to use custom matchers, it result in error

Describe the bug

When trying to use toBeDisabled matcher, getting error

Jest encountered an unexpected token

    This usually means that you are trying to import a file which Jest cannot parse, e.g. it's not plain JavaScript.

    By default, if Jest sees a Babel config, it will use that to transform your files, ignoring "node_modules".

    Here's what you can do:
     • To have some of your "node_modules" files transformed, you can specify a custom "transformIgnorePatterns" in your config.
     • If you need a custom transformation specify a "transform" option in your config.
     • If you simply want to mock your non-JS modules (e.g. binary assets) you can stub them out with the "moduleNameMapper" config option.

    You'll find more details and examples of these config options in the docs:
    https://jestjs.io/docs/en/configuration.html

    import typeof AccessibilityInfo from './Libraries/Components/AccessibilityInfo/AccessibilityInfo';
           ^^^^^^

    SyntaxError: Unexpected token typeof

      1 | import React, { useContext } from 'react';
    > 2 | import { View, StyleSheet, ViewPropTypes } from 'react-native';

Reproducible Demo

  1. Add @testing-library/jest-native package
yarn add --dev @testing-library/jest-native
  1. Create a jest.config.js file and paste following code in it
module.exports = {
  setupFilesAfterEnv: ['@testing-library/jest-native/extend-expect'],
};
  1. Use custom matchers from @testing-library/jest-native/extend-expect

MyButton.js

const MyButton = ({ disabled, onPress }) => (
    <TouchableOpacity onPress={onPress} accessible accessibilityRole="button" disabled={disabled}>
         <Text>{title}</Text>
    </TouchableOpacity>
);

MyButton.test.js

import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-native-testing-library';
import MyButton from './MyButton';

test('loading state is handled', () => {
    // Setup
    const buttonTitle = 'Press me';
    const { getByA11yRole } = render(
      <Button disabled title={buttonTitle} />,
    );

    // Exercise
    const container = getByA11yRole('button');

    // Verify
    expect(container).toBeDisabled();
  })
