How to enable es6 import modules in Jest in a ESM used back-end?

[pouyajabbarisani]

I'm using a NodeJs backend with ESM package enabled mode to use es6+ import modules system when I'm trying to access a file in my test, even if I use require in my test file because target file uses import/export, it throws this error:

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

I know, I can use babel to solve Jest problem, but due to my main project files (which are using ESM), is there any solution to config Jest with ESM?

Any luck?

@pouyajabbarisani The better solution is to use Babel to transpile ES6 import ;)

Take a look at the jest directories under https://github.com/standard-things/esm/tree/master/test/fixture/scenario
