"TypeError: environment.dispose is not a function" when running tests

[gaearon]

create-react-app myapp
cd myapp
npm install lint-staged
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
npm test

gives an error:

TypeError: environment.dispose is not a function

Related: jestjs/jest#5294 lint-staged/lint-staged#414

Some kind of dependency hell scenario caused by bad resolving somewhere. Need to explore working around on our side in 1.x until we can bump Jest to a version that doesn't have this problem.

Seems like jestjs/jest#5913 is the real bug here.

Landed a workaround in #4247

With CRA 1.1.4, I ran into a similar problem with a slightly different error message with setup, not dispose:

TypeError: environment.setup is not a function

It's a newish CRA install, starting life as 1.1.1. I upgraded to 1.1.4 using the step-by-step yarn add --exact react-scripts@1.1.N (N=2..4) steps as usual. I have not added jest to my package.json file.

Other useful info:

bash-3.2$ node --version
v8.9.4
bash-3.2$ npm --version
5.8.0
bash-3.2$ yarn --version
1.6.0
bash-3.2$ npm ls react-scripts
imwebclient-2@0.2.0 /Users/richb/github/imwebclient-2
└── react-scripts@1.1.4

Any thoughts on debugging this? What other info could I provide? (I have never tried running tests on this project before so I can't say whether it ever worked.) Thanks.
