The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a dependency : Babel-Jest - html

Question

I found this error message when running react-script test
The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a dependency "babel-jest": "^24.9.0"`
So the error message also recommend us to remove package-lock.json and also node_modules I tried but I have the same error message.
And I inspect the package-lock.json and for example jest-config (is a sub dependancies) use higher version than react-script accept.
Please if you have some advices

Answer 1

I faced the same problem with create-react-app. Here is what I did
Go to the path
C:\Users\YOURNAME\node_modules
and then remove those packages which show an error.

Ironically I was working on a similarish problem this morning. Could you provide a screenshot of your package.json and the error message?
Babel-Jest is used to compile javascript code into a format that jest can consume. I suspect that your problem is that you have a dependency that the lock file has subsequently locked in the incorrect version of babel-jest.

Answer 3

I can add some more details from the above response for solve this issue I found the problem.
When we use react-scripts we can't have jest packages or something is already manage by create-react-app
The problem when I have is package.json contain jest at superior version than react-script can accept
When I deleted this line in my package.json already seems to work

Answer 4

One of your dependencies is using a newer version of babel-jest. You can find which ones they are by running npm ls babel-jest in your project root directory.
A simple way to fix the problem then, is to try and link to an older version of those packages, e.g. "#types/jest": "^24.0.0" so that they don't use the newer version of babel-jest.

for mac user remove
/Users/{UserName}/node_modules
