为什么async（）在Jest测试中转换为异步函数（）？

Question

My jest test case is similar to:

test('should update state.focus', async () => {
  let component = getComponent()
  component.setState({focus: true})
  expect(component.state().focus).toEqual(true)
  component.instance().handleBlur()

  await expect(component.state().focus).toEqual(false)
})

This works fine in local dev environment. However it fails on bamboo giving the following error:

test('should update state.focus', async function () {
                                  ^^^^^
SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

I am using jest - 20.0.3 and babel-jest 20.0.3

I had exactly the same problem. I could solve it by installing the babel-preset-es2017 package and then use it in the .babelrc

{
  "presets": ["es2017"]
}
