    I solve this yesterday, try looking in your code for something like @babel/types for me, it was to remove import { identifier } from ‘@babel/types’; – aharon vishinsky

    Thank you aharon vishinsky — it is very helpful for me.

    For my case:
    The vscode plugin "Auto import" seem insert a "import" statement:

    import { OBJECTMEMBER_TYPES } from '@babel/types';

    So, just delete it, then you should be ok.

    Thanks a lot for this, been at this for days.
    In my case, looks like VSCode added this at some point.

    import { placeholder } from "@babel/types";

    Most likely when I added the placeholder for TextInput. Deleting this line fixed the issue.
