Unit testing in vuejs

I am trying to configure/run my first unit test for Vuejs. But I can't get past the configuration issues. I have tried installing the libraries but for some reason I keep getting errors.

Here is what an example of my code looks like:

My directory structure:

   hello/
     dist/
     node_modules/
     src/
      components/
        hello.vue
     test/
      setup.js
      test.spec.js
    .babelrc
     package.json
     webpack.config.js

Contents inside my files

src/components/hello.vue

<template> <div> {{message}} </div> </template>
<script>
export default {
  name: 'hello',
  data () { return message: 'Hi' },
  created () {
    // ...
  }
}

test/setup.js

// setup JSDOM
require('jsdom-global')()

// make expect available globally
global.expect = require('expect')

test/test.spect.js

import { shallow } from 'vue/test-utils'
import  { hello} from '../../../src/components/hello.vue'

describe('hello', () => {
  // just testing simple data to see if it works
  expect(1).toBe(1)
})

.babelrc

{
  "env": {
    "development": {
      "presets": [
        [
          "env",
          {
            "modules": false
          }
        ]
      ]
    },
    "test": {
      "presets": [
        [
          "env",
          {
            "modules": false,
            "targets": {
              "node": "current"
            }
          }
        ]
      ],
      "plugins": [
        "istanbul"
      ]
    }
  }
}

package.json

...
  "scripts": {
    "build": "webpack -p",
    "test": "cross-env NODE_ENV=test nyc mocha-webpack --webpack-config webpack.config.js --require test/setup.js test/**/*.spec.js"
  },
"devDependencies": {
    "babel-core": "^6.26.0",
    "babel-loader": "^7.1.2",
    "babel-preset-env": "^1.6.1",
    "cross-env": "^5.1.1",
    "css-loader": "^0.28.7",
    "file-loader": "^1.1.5",
    "node-sass": "^4.7.2",
    "sass-loader": "^6.0.6",
    "vue-loader": "^13.5.0",
    "vue-template-compiler": "^2.5.9",
    "webpack": "^3.10.0",
    "webpack-dev-server": "^2.9.7",
    "jsdom": "^11.3.0",
    "jsdom-global": "^3.0.2",
    "mocha": "^3.5.3",
    "mocha-webpack": "^1.0.0-rc.1",
    "nyc": "^11.4.1",
    "expect": "^21.2.1",
    "@vue/test-utils": "^1.0.0-beta.12"
  },
  ...
"nyc": {
    "include": [
      "src/**/*.(js|vue)"
    ],
    "instrument": false,
    "sourceMap": false
  }

and finally my webpack.config.js ...

if(process.env.NODE_ENV == "test") {
  module.exports.externals = [ require ('webpack-node-externals')()]
  module.exports.devtool = 'inline-cheap-module-source-map'
}

now when I run npm test from my root folder hello/ I get this error:

> npm run e2e

I don't know why this happens. When I installed my webpack project at first I didn't install a testing library with the npm init command so there are no conflicts, but still I get that error:

update (after bounty)

I'm just trying to test my vuejs application. Hopefully with jasmine/karma. If anyone knows how to integrate these into a simple app and run the firsts test, I can take it from there. My problem is not writing tests but configuring it
