Jest fails when trying to find type definition in node_modules

I'm working on a back-end powered by Node, using Babel and Typescript, and Jest (with ts-jest) for testing.

Everything worked great until 2 days ago, my testing is not working anymore, instead I get error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for [module name]

This error happens for every module in my node_modules folder which doesn't have a .d.ts file in it. Here are the first few lines of the error for you to see :

FAIL  src/entity/OfferPool.test.ts
  ● Test suite failed to run

    TypeScript diagnostics (customize using `[jest-config].globals.ts-jest.diagnostics` option):
    error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for '.bin'.
    error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for '.cache'.
    error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for '@babel'.
    error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for '@types'.
    error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'abab'.
    error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'abbrev'.
    error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'accepts'.
    error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'acorn'.
    error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'acorn-globals'.
    error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'acorn-walk'.

I also get this error for every test file I have.

Do you know where this can be from ? It was working well a few days ago...

Here are a few config files that can help :

For Typescript :

//tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "commonjs",
    "declaration": true,
    "noImplicitAny": false,
    "removeComments": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "target": "es6",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "outDir": "./dist",
    "baseUrl": "./src",
    "lib": ["es2015"],
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "noEmitHelpers": true,
    "importHelpers": true,
    "strict": true,
    "noImplicitReturns": true,
    "typeRoots": [
      "node_modules"
    ]
  },
  "include": [
    "./src/**/*",
    "./src/**/*.test.ts"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "./node_modules"
  ]
}

For Babel :

//.babelrc
{
  "presets": ["@babel/preset-typescript", "@babel/preset-env"],
  "plugins": ["@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties"]
}

For Jest : 

// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
  preset: "ts-jest",
  testEnvironment: "node",
};

And my dependencies :

  "dependencies": {
    "@babel/polyfill": "^7.0.0",

I don't think you are using typeRoots correctly. This may solve your problem, https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/tsconfig-json.html the default is to use node_modules/@types.
