npm test failing for Fluent UI textfield component

I am working on a React/Redux app which uses Fluent UI. I am told that project should be able to run npm test successfully but it is failing with the following message:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'

  1 | import React, { useState } from "react";
  2 | import { useDispatch } from "react-redux";
> 3 | import { TextField } from "office-ui-fabric-react/lib/TextField"; 
    | ^
  4 | import { Dropdown } from "office-ui-fabric-react/lib/Dropdown";   
  5 | import { PrimaryButton } from "office-ui-fabric-react";
  6 | import "./TodoInput.css";

Test Suites: 1 failed, 1 total

Ran all test suites related to changed files.

This is my first time working with testing. Can someone guide me what I'm doing wrong.
