Jest: } catch { ^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token {

Hello,
Whilst writing unit test to reconfigure the url using jsdom.reconfigure I had to install jest-environment-jsdom & jest-environment-jsdom-global @latest.

Once I installed and configured the Jest.config with testEnvironment: "jest-environment-jsdom-global" I'm getting this wired issue:

Interesting thing, is seeing the issue I tried to fix it by going into the file node_modules\jsdom\node_modules\webidl-conversions\lib\index.js and fix it as catch(e) { ... } where I couldn't find the line as thrown!

Node version v8.11.2
OS: Win 10

Jest 26 doesn't support node 8, you need to use node 10+
