Jest: Naming the beforeEach function produces imprecise error: fn.call is not a function

[a1300]

🐛 Bug Report

After migrating from mocha to jest. I got the following error for naming the beforeEach function:

TypeError: fn.call is not a function
at resolve (node_modules/jest-jasmine2/build/queue_runner.js:56:12)

To Reproduce

beforeEach('setup delegate.js', () => {
});

Expected behavior

A better error message, that points to the problem:

Result:

For Jest Circus the code is here: https://github.com/facebook/jest/blob/c93e02718480b9f25b0d28f33456ed159bd11b69/packages/jest-circus/src/index.js#L42-L48
For Jest Jasmine it's here: https://github.com/facebook/jest/blob/c93e02718480b9f25b0d28f33456ed159bd11b69/packages/jest-jasmine2/src/jasmine/Env.js#L505-L539

It's a matter of type-checking that the first argument is indeed a function
