Tried out
4.0.0-next.98today (coming from3.4.3) in a medium-sized typescript monorepo. Our app builds and runs just fine.Unfortunately some of our Jest tests broke. It looks like ts-jest is no longer getting used. Previously (with CRA3) we were able to specify a transform in the
jestsection ofpackage.jsonlike this:This allowed us to use TypeScript features not supported by Babel (like
emitDecoratorMetadatafor TypeORM).Looking at the v3.4.1...master diff, I'm not sure what broke it. Perhaps something about Jest 26?
