[Bug]: Calling ts.createSourceFile in a test file hangs with Typescript 5.x.x

[asnaseer]

Version

29.7.0

Steps to reproduce

I have an Expo 50 React Native app and have some code that uses the Typescript createSourceFile method. If I call this method from a jest test then the test seems to hang for ever. Calling it directly via a Typescript script works just fine.

Also, if I downgrade to Typescript 4.9.5 then the jest test passes.

These are the relevant packages I used:

  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/jest": "^29.5.12",
    "jest-extended": "^4.0.2",
    "ts-jest": "^29.2.2",
    "typescript": "^5.5.3"
  },

Here is a minimal jest test to reproduce the error (in file src/broken.spec.ts):

import ts from "typescript";

describe("broken", () => {
  const createSource = (sourceCode: string): ts.SourceFile => {
    const sourceFile = ts.createSourceFile(
      "test.ts",
      sourceCode,
      ts.ScriptTarget.Latest,
      true
    );

    return sourceFile;
  };

  it("should create Typescript source file", () => {
    expect(
      createSource(
        `
        const doIt = (): void => {
          console.log("hello");
        };
      `
      )
    ).toBeDefined();
  });
});

I use yarn 1.22.10 to run the test.

Here is a minimal Typescript script that works just fine when run with npx ts-node src/broken.ts:

import ts from "typescript";

const createSource = (sourceCode: string): ts.SourceFile => {
  const sourceFile = ts.createSourceFile(
    "test.ts",
    sourceCode,
    ts.ScriptTarget.Latest,
    true
  );

  return sourceFile;
};

createSource(
  `
    const doIt = (): void => {
      console.log("hello");
    };
  `
);

Expected behavior

The test should not hang

Actual behavior

The test hangs

I just tried the same scenarios with these updated libs and still get the same error:

    "@types/jest": "^29.7.0",
    "jest-extended": "^4.0.2",
    "ts-jest": "^29.2.5",
    "typescript": "^5.6.2"
