Jest Couldn't find preset "env" relative to directory

I am trying to use Jest to test my node API. I have a simple npm script which calls jest

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node server.js",
    "dev": "nodemon server.js",
    "test": "jest",
    "precommit": "lint-staged"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@koa/cors": "^2.2.1",
    "apollo-link-http": "^1.5.4",
    "apollo-server-koa": "^1.3.6",
    "axios": "^0.18.0",
    "dotenv": "^6.0.0",
    "graphql": "^0.13.2",
    "graphql-tools": "^3.0.4",
    "koa": "^2.5.1",
    "koa-bodyparser": "^4.2.1",
    "koa-router": "^7.4.0",
    "node-fetch": "^2.1.2"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "husky": "^0.14.3",
    "jest": "^23.3.0",
    "lint-staged": "^7.2.0",
    "nodemon": "^1.17.5",
    "prettier": "^1.13.7"
  },
  "lint-staged": {
    "gitDir": "./",
    "*.{js,json}": [
      "prettier --no-semi --print-width 140 --tab-width 2 --write",
      "git add"
    ]
  },
  "jest": {
    "bail": true,
    "verbose": true,
    "testMatch": [
      "<rootDir>/**/*.test.js"
    ]
  }
}

I have a jest config in my package.json which tells jest what to test:

"jest": {
    "bail": true,
    "verbose": true,
    "testMatch": [
      "<rootDir>/**/*.test.js"
    ]
  }

I am not using babel at all in my project but for some reason when I try run my one test in ./test.test.js

test("Example test", () => {
  expect(true).toBe(true)
})

I get the following error:

$ jest
 FAIL  ./test.test.js
  ● Test suite failed to run

    Couldn't find preset "env" relative to directory "/Users/<myusername>/Projects"

I have tried adding a babel env preset but still getting the same error. I don't think I should have to add a babel config just for testing either.

I am running node version 8.11.3 and yarn 1.7.0 and have jest installed locally in the project using version ^23.2.0

How do I tell jest not to worry about babel env?

babel-jest is added automatically when you install Jest. If you don't intend to transpile ES6 code (seems like your case) maybe just reset the config:

// package.json
{
  "jest": {
    "transform": {}
  }
}

This error usually happens when you forget to add the babel-preset-env dependency.

As you have already said that you tried this solution, try to see if it is some specific version of babel-preset-env.

Which version are you using?
