Babel error when running tests with --coverage

[gaelollivier]

Description

Steps:

• create a fresh app
• anywhere inside App.js, add the following code

function* test() {
  yield ((a) => 42)
}

• run npm run test => works
• run npm run test -- --coverage => crashes

Expected behavior

This syntax is valid js, it works in the browser and with tests without coverage so I expect it to work with coverage activated

Actual behavior

This error is thrown:

Environment

1. npm ls react-scripts

test@0.1.0 /Users/gael/Desktop/test
└── react-scripts@0.8.1

2. node -v:

v6.4.0

3. npm -v:

3.10.6

1. Operating system: OSX 10.12.1
2. Browser and version: N/A

I guess this is a Jest issue, so I ping @cpojer ?

Seems like an issue here: https://github.com/istanbuljs/babel-plugin-istanbul

Could also be the same as #1156 and #1160, and might be fixed by #1179.
Can you try to repro this on master?

[gaearon]

This doesn't reproduce on master, and likely was fixed by #1179.
The next patch will address it.

Fixed in 0.8.2.
Please verify.
