What could be the reason for it? how might my code affect an external module?

Hey, did you solve this? I ran into the same error, although everything was working just fine 2 weeks ago..

I have encountered the same error. You should avoid placing your __test__ folder with jest tests within your pages folder. Simply move it somewhere out of the pages, this will resolve your issue.

@denisugo simple yet effective answer! Fixed exactly my problem. Thank you!
