"Syntax Error: Invalid or unexpected token" with .png

[matheusml]

I'm trying to test a simple module, but I'm getting this error:

Test suite failed to run

    /home/matheusml/Projects/react-completo/src/assets/images/dribble-logo.png:1
    ({"Object.<anonymous>":function(module,exports,require,__dirname,__filename,global,jest){�PNG

      at Object.<anonymous> (src/components/container/Container.js:4:46)
      at Object.<anonymous> (src/components/App.js:4:44)

This is the test:

import React from 'react';
import renderer from 'react-test-renderer';
import { Router } from 'react-router';

import App from './App';

test('App', () => {
  const component = renderer.create(
    <App />
  );
  let tree = component.toJSON();
  expect(tree).toMatchSnapshot();
});

This is my package.json:

"jest": {
    "moduleNameMapper": {
      "\\.(jpg|jpeg|png|svg)$": "./src/config/fileMock.js",
      "\\.(css|scss)$": "identity-obj-proxy"
    }
  }

And this is the fileMock.js:

module.exports = 'test-file-stub';

Thanks!

@matheusml did you solve this at all? @cpojer I can confirm I'm having this issue too. I have static assets outside my source. i.e. My directory structure looks like:

public
|-fonts
|-img
\_styles
src
|-components
|-pages
...

My jest config looks similar to the example given in the link:

"jest": {
    "collectCoverageFrom": [ "src/**/*.{js,jsx}" ],
    "moduleNameMapper": {
      "\\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|eot|otf|webp|svg|ttf|woff|woff2|mp4|webm|wav|mp3|m4a|aac|oga)$": "tests/__mocks__/fileMock.js"
    }
  }

My test fails when it tries to import the image:

import thumbnail from 'img/thumbnail.png'

I guess its important to note that if I don't include the public directory in moduleDirectories, then i get the error: Cannot find module 'img/thumbnail.png' from 'MyModule.js'

Is this expected? Should it really validate the existence of an import event though the module mapping is already setup? Otherwise I get the same error as above. I haven't tried any other type of import in the name mapper.

[zeeshanjan82]

I am facing the same issue, I am trying to have reactjs server rendering implemented. Any fix for this.

[zeeshanjan82]

I have put this in my babelrc and things seem to be working:

{
"presets": ["es2015", "react"]
}

[sibinx7]

Same type error

SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
      /media/sibin/F_WORK/<path>/<icon-name>.svg:1

I also seem to be having this issue as well. It only happens when I require the png.

    SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

[diegomura]

Same error as well. Does someone fix it?

[Elf2707]

Have the same error with .mp3, Nothing helps

[thymikee]

Errors like this may also be a result of using a preset with absolute paths set in module name mapper for example. This case however will be fixed in the next release

[mbaranovski]

I had the same error and resolved it by creating a assetsTransformer.js:

const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  process(src, filename, config, options) {
    return 'module.exports = ' + JSON.stringify(path.basename(filename)) + ';';
  },
};

Then add this to your jest configuration in package.json:
"jest": { "moduleNameMapper": { "\\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|eot|otf|webp|svg|ttf|woff|woff2|mp4|webm|wav|mp3|m4a|aac|oga)$": "<rootDir>/assetsTransformer.js", "\\.(css|less)$": "<rootDir>/assetsTransformer.js" } },

[alecmerdler]

In my case, I didn't realize that <rootDir> is a token supplied by Jest, and assumed it was something I needed to replace. Adding it to the moduleNameMapper entries solved the issue.

[alp82]

I added the assetTransformer.js mentioned by @bombellos. Also followed instructions on Using with webpack. But i still get the same errors.

My folder structure is basically:

  components
    *.js
  ui
    *.js

Apparently, the files are still loaded instead of mocked away, but i have no clue how to debug this.

    }
  }
}

    }
  },

[alp82]

I am dumb, i had another jest.config.js in my root folder which overwrote the settings in package.json. Although it's not runnning yet, i don't get this particular error anymore.

[alp82]

Got it working. Here are the important bits (please note that i have some additional config due to enzyme 3 with react 16):

.babelrc

{
  "presets": [
    "es2015",
    "react",
    "stage-1",
    "env"

  ],
  "plugins": [
    "react-hot-loader/babel",
    "transform-class-properties",
    "transform-react-jsx-source",
    "glamorous-displayname",
    "wildcard"
  ],
  "env": {
    "development": {
      "plugins": [
        ["transform-runtime", {
          "polyfill": true
        }]
      ]
    }
  }
}

jest.config.js

// this helps: https://github.com/facebook/jest/issues/2081#issuecomment-332406033
module.exports = {
  verbose: true,
  setupFiles: ['./jest.setup.js'],
  snapshotSerializers: ['jest-glamor-react', 'enzyme-to-json/serializer'],
  moduleFileExtensions: ['js', 'jsx'],
  transform: {
    '^.+\\.jsx?$': 'babel-jest',
    '\\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|eot|otf|webp|svg|ttf|woff|woff2|mp4|webm|wav|mp3|m4a|aac|oga)$':
      '<rootDir>/config/jest/assetsTransformer.js',
  },
};

jest.setup.js

import 'raf/polyfill';
import Enzyme from 'enzyme';
import Adapter from 'enzyme-adapter-react-16';

Enzyme.configure({ adapter: new Adapter() });

Hope that helps someone.

I was having issues with a svg file. I realized I could mock it with identity-obj-proxy:

    "moduleNameMapper": {
      "\\.(css|scss|svg)$": "identity-obj-proxy"
    },

[magnusart]

For anyone looking into this issue @timgivois way works beautifully for me. You have to do install npm install --save-dev identity-obj-proxy to get the necessary dependencies.

  "jest": {
    "moduleNameMapper": {
      ".+\\.(css|styl|less|sass|scss|png|jpg|ttf|woff|woff2)$": "identity-obj-proxy"
    }
  }

[theoutlander]

While the solution by @mbaranovski works, I don't know if his intention was to use it as a transformer. It produces the following output (pay attention to the src attribute):

<img alt="ImgName" height="28" src={ Object { "process": [Function], } } width="112" />

Essentially, it is mapping everything from that module to the place where I required an SVG. Thus, you could get away with that module simply being:

module.exports = {}

The other work-around as stated above is to use identity-obj-proxy.

[ashishjan]

@magnusart

"jest": {
    "moduleNameMapper": {
      ".+\\.(css|styl|less|sass|scss|png|jpg|ttf|woff|woff2)$": "identity-obj-proxy"
    }
  }

it saves my day. Thanks!!.

[wellyal]

@mbaranovski It worked just fine when I ran only jest for test. Sadly when I try to run through the react-scripts from create-react-app I get

Out of the box, Create React App only supports overriding these Jest options

Is there a workaround for this ? Or the only solution is to eject create-react-app?

[SimenB]

I don't think CRA supports that option. I'm not sure why it wants to close down options, probably a good reason 🙂

/cc @gaearon

[eddyerburgh]

Another workaround:

npm i --save-dev jest-transform-stub

"jest": {
  "transform": {
    ".+\\.(css|styl|less|sass|scss|png|jpg|ttf|woff|woff2)$": "jest-transform-stub"
  }
}

it saves my day. Thanks!!.

I took a cue from this and installed babel-jest then I replace identity-obj-proxy with babel-jest

[yyynnn]

or use this https://github.com/eddyerburgh/jest-transform-stub

[begueradj]

only @eddyerburgh 's solution worked for me.

[guilleanto22]

@magnusart
you save my day, it works fine

[FanchenBao]

I had this png problem after adding ./node_modules/react-native-gesture-handler/jestSetup.js to setupFiles (that was my attempt to resolve the jest issue with react-native-gesture-handler).

I tried #2663 (comment) (@magnusart using identity-obj-proxy), but it broke enzyme for whatever reason (it made enzyme's mock into a symbol rather than a function). Then I tried #2663 (comment) (@eddyerburgh
using jest-transform-stub), but it didn't do anything.

Eventually, I tried #2663 (comment) (@cpojer the webpack solution at the beginning), and that was the only one working for me.

[gus-messagi]

If anyone is getting this error with SVG, probably can use this lib, it worked really well for me https://www.npmjs.com/package/jest-svg-transformer

I only added on my jest.config.ts file this code

transform: { '^.+\\.tsx?$': 'babel-jest', '^.+\\.svg$': 'jest-svg-transformer', },

And the code on this file is this

you guys can ignore moduleNameMapper, is just because I'm using custom import with babel

I was experiencing this on React Native as well, when attempting to jest test a file with React Navigation v5 Stack.Navigator and Stack.Screens in it.

● Test suite failed to run

    E:\my\working\directory\myproject\node_modules\@react-navigation\stack\lib\commonjs\views\assets\back-icon.png:1
    �PNG


    SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token
        at compileFunction (<anonymous>)

      at Runtime._execModule (node_modules/jest-runtime/build/index.js:1157:58)
      at Object.<anonymous> (node_modules/@react-navigation/stack/lib/commonjs/index.tsx:13:3)

This is on React Native 0.63.3 with the following installed in the project dependencies.

"@babel/core": "7.8.4",
"@babel/runtime": "7.8.4",
...
"babel-jest": "25.1.0",
"babel-loader": "^8.1.0",
"babel-plugin-module-resolver": "4.0.0",
...
"jest": "25.1.0",
"metro-react-native-babel-preset": "0.59.0",

What fixed this for me was:

1. Installing "jest-transform-stub": "2.0.0"
2. Modifying my jest.config.js file by adding this to the module.exports object:

  transform: {
    '.+\\.(css|styl|less|sass|scss|png|jpg|ttf|woff|woff2)$': 'jest-transform-stub',
  },
  moduleNameMapper: {
    '^.+.(css|styl|less|sass|scss|png|jpg|ttf|woff|woff2)$': 'jest-transform-stub',
  },

I believe in my case the moduleNameMapper was the only one really needed, but I'm keeping both for now as it works. Hopefully this may help another that runs into this.
