Description

After upgrading @swc-node/jest from 1.5.5 to 1.6.2 I get next error while running jest tests.

 /workspaces/app/__integration__/app.test.ts:1
    ({"Object.<anonymous>":function(module,exports,require,__dirname,__filename,jest){import _async_to_generator from "@swc/helpers/src/_async_to_generator.mjs";
                                                                                      ^^^^^^

    SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

      at Runtime.createScriptFromCode (node_modules/jest-runtime/build/index.js:1678:14)
          at runMicrotasks (<anonymous>)

while having module: "esnext" in the tsconfig

It is probably related to https://github.com/swc-project/swc-node/issues/693

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure from integration/app.test.ts with @swc-node/jest 1.6.2 and inspect the project tsconfig, especially its module setting. Compare the Jest transformation behavior with version 1.5.5 and the related swc-node issue; done means the integration test runs without the module syntax error under the reported configuration.
