Babel error: Invalid Version: 70001900000

Disclaimer: I haven't found anything useful in the CHANGELOG.

I recently upgraded the following Babel dependencies:

@babel/core          ^7.15.0  ->  7.21.5
@babel/preset-env    ^7.14.7  ->  7.21.5
@babel/preset-react  ^7.14.5  ->  7.18.6

and jest doesn't work anymore. My tests are TSX files and I use preset ts-jest/presets/js-with-babel-esm:

FAIL  spec/javascripts/ActiveDocs/components/FormAlert.spec.tsx
  ● Test suite failed to run

    TypeError: /opt/app-root/src/project/spec/javascripts/__mocks__/global-mocks.js: Invalid Version: 70001900000

EDIT: It's not a problem with jest but with Babel. The same error happens when running webpack for transpilation.

Here's a link to the repository with these changes: https://github.com/3scale/porta/pull/3340/files

EDIT 2:

This is what the error looks like during compilation

Solution

  • This bug was reported in https://github.com/babel/babel/issues/15604 and fixed in https://github.com/babel/babel/pull/15605. The fix is included in the version v7.21.8 (see CHANGELOG), specifically, the package @babel/helper-create-regexp-features-plugin needs to be upgraded to v7.21.8 (might not upgrade on its own if it's a sub-dependency)
