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

| @ui-kitten/components | 5.0.0 |
And I also know that all UI-Kitten components should be rendered in a provider. I have a custom render fn just like this
return (
<ApplicationProvider mapping={mapping} theme={currentTheme} customMapping={currentMapping}>
{children}
</ApplicationProvider>
)
this, by the way, does not work ether, because of the same transpilation error
The babel transpilation magic seems to work just fine according to first example. I have no idea of why this can be broken if I use any @ui-kitten component
You are welcome!

I guess this issue will probably disappear if I upgrade to Node v14 ☝️
