toMatchInlineSnapshot breaks when testing JSX syntax on a fresh CRA5 project #11928

Description

@FezVrasta

Describe the bug

import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
import App from './App';

test('renders learn react link', () => {
  render(<App />);
  const linkElement = screen.getByText(/learn react/i);
  expect(linkElement).toMatchInlineSnapshot(``);
});

Running the above test on a fresh Create React App 5.x and asking Jest to update the snapshot makes the process fail with the following error:

 FAIL  src/App.test.js
  ● Test suite failed to run

    SyntaxError: /private/tmp/cra5/src/App.test.js: Support for the experimental syntax 'jsx' isn't currently enabled (5:10):

      3 |
      4 | test('renders learn react link', () => {
    > 5 |   render(<App />);
        |          ^
      6 |   const linkElement = screen.getByText(/learn react/i);
      7 |   expect(linkElement).toMatchInlineSnapshot(``);
      8 | });

    Add @babel/preset-react (https://git.io/JfeDR) to the 'presets' section of your Babel config to enable transformation.
    If you want to leave it as-is, add @babel/plugin-syntax-jsx (https://git.io/vb4yA) to the 'plugins' section to enable parsing.
