How to setup jest with node_modules that use es6

Question

I have a very simple test:

describe('sanity', () => {
  it('sanity', () => {
    expect(true).toBeTruthy()
  })
})

And I'm receiving the following error:

 FAIL  spec/javascript/sanity_test.js
  ● Test suite failed to run

    Jest encountered an unexpected token

    This usually means that you are trying to import a file which Jest cannot parse, e.g. it's not plain JavaScript.

    By default, if Jest sees a Babel config, it will use that to transform your files, ignoring "node_modules".

    Here's what you can do:
     • To have some of your "node_modules" files transformed, you can specify a custom "transformIgnorePatterns" in your config.
     • If you need a custom transformation specify a "transform" option in your config.
     • If you simply want to mock your non-JS modules (e.g. binary assets) you can stub them out with the "moduleNameMapper" config option.

    You'll find more details and examples of these config options in the docs:
    https://jestjs.io/docs/en/configuration.html

    Details:

                                                                                             ^^^^^^

Test Suites: 1 failed, 1 total

I have this .babelrc:

{
  "presets": ["@babel/react", "@babel/env"]
}

How do I make the trivial test pass?

Matt's answer is accepted b/c it is insightful. The change that did it for me was adding in package.json:

  "jest": {
    ...
    "transformIgnorePatterns": [
      "node_modules/(?!@atlaskit)"
    ],

You can add support for multiple packages at once by separating them with a |

  "jest": {
    ...
    "transformIgnorePatterns": [
      "node_modules/(?!module1|module2|etc)"
    ],
