Jest not working on new CRNA

using Node v6.11.1
npm v3.10.10
Expo SDK 23

I create a new app with create-react-native-app oath-rss

yarn start works fine. app runs as expected

however when I run yarn test I get the following:

Determining test suites to run...Error: This promise must be present when running with -o.

i’ve made no code edits after running CRNA.

this is the package.json that is created

hi @findmory, this appears to be a bug with jest 21.0.1. here, sorry about that! In the meantime, you can run node node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js, without the --watch option to run the tests.

This was helpful! running git init on my project allowed me to get back to using --watch. Also there’s the --watchAll flag which is an option as well. thanks
