Latest version of jest 23.6.0 does not work with node v10.13.0 and pnpm version 2.18.2

🐛 Bug Report

The latest version of jest 23.6.0 does not work with node v10.13.0 and npm 6.20 or pnpm 2.18.2. The combination does work with yarn 1.12.3.

It throws the following error

Requires Babel "^7.0.0-0", but was loaded with "6.26.3".

This happens both in Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 10.

Related to issues #6662 and #6913. I first tried all suggestions in these issue before switching to yarn in despair.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Install node version v10.13.0
2. Install npm version 6.20 or pnpm 2.18.2
3. Install yarn version 1.12.3
4. Install example repo
5. npm i
6. jest
7. rm -rf node_modules && rm package-lock.json

Repeat steps 5-7 for pnpm and yarn.

Expected behaviour

Jest should work with npm, pnpm and yarn.

It works with both npm and yarn for me. Not pnpm, but that's known: #5369. Help welcome! That said, we're gonna drop babel 6 entirely for the next major of Jest, so it might resolve itself for you after that? #7016

@SimenB thx for the quick respons.

I see now that I was still half a sleep when I created the issue this morning :-) If I downgrade node to node v8.13.0 all package managers (npm, pnpm and yarn) work. I only tested with LTS releases. There is no v9 LTS release for node, that is why I tested with v8.

I switched from Windows to Linux to make sure the problems I was having were not related to Windows. In the issues I mention and the issue you mention there is no information regarding the version of node and npm. I think it is helpful that others can find it to help them and avoid frustration and wasting hours trying to fix an issue that is known.

I suggest adding a README.md to the minimum example to explain this problem with jest in combination with version v10 (and v9?) of node. Just a suggestion to avoid frustrated users :-)

When is the next major release expected?

[SimenB]

PR welcome adding a readme! 🙂

Next major release is expected before Christmas, hopefully. Only blocker is actually getting Babel 7 to work properly (we've found a bug in istanbul using Babel 7)

@SimenB I submitted a pull request with the README.md.
