Node.js 15.9 regression with Jest ESM

After upgrading Node.js 15.8 → 15.9 Jest stopped supporting ESM.

  • Version: 15.9
  • Platform: Linux foxbat 5.10.15-200.fc33.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 10 17:46:55 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

What steps will reproduce the bug?

echo '{ "private": true, "type": "module" }' > package.json
yarn add nanoevents
echo "import { createNanoEvents } from 'nanoevents'" > index.js
echo "import './index.js'; it.todo('test')" > index.test.js
yarn add jest@next

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always

What is the expected behavior?

volta install node@15.8
node --experimental-vm-modules node_modules/.bin/jest

(node:60479) ExperimentalWarning: VM Modules is an experimental feature. This feature could change at any time
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
 PASS  ./index.test.js
