Jest gives ReferenceError: require is not defined

I am new to Angular and couldn't find solution for past 3 days, I am usig [email protected] and [email protected], I also downgraded and tested in LTS versions of node and npm and I get same error.

my jest.config.js file is as below:

// For a detailed explanation regarding each configuration property, visit:
// https://jestjs.io/docs/en/configuration.html
const tsconfig = require("./tsconfig.json")
const moduleNameMapper = require("tsconfig-paths-jest")(tsconfig)
module.exports = {
  collectCoverage: true,
  reporters: [
    "default",
    [
      "jest-junit",
      {
        "suiteName": "jest tests",
        "outputDirectory": ".",
        "outputName": "junit.xml",
        "uniqueOutputName": "false",
        "classNameTemplate": "{classname}-{title}",
        "titleTemplate": "{classname}-{title}",
        "ancestorSeparator": " › ",
        "usePathForSuiteName": "true"
      }
    ]
  ],
  globals: {
    'ts-jest': {
      diagnostics: {
        ignoreCodes: [151001]
      },
      tsconfig: '<rootDir>/tsconfig.spec.json',
      stringifyContentPathRegex: '\\.html$',
      astTransformers: [
        'jest-preset-angular/build/InlineFilesTransformer',
        'jest-preset-angular/build/StripStylesTransformer'
      ]
    }
  },
  transform: {
    '^.+\\.(ts|js|html)$': 'ts-jest',
    "^.+\\.js$": "babel-jest"
  },
  setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/src/setup-jest.ts'],
  testEnvironment: 'jest-environment-jsdom-thirteen',
  moduleFileExtensions: ['ts', 'html', 'js', 'json'],
  moduleNameMapper,
  transformIgnorePatterns: ['node_modules/(?!@ngrx)'],
  snapshotSerializers: [
    'jest-preset-angular/build/AngularSnapshotSerializer.js',
    'jest-preset-angular/build/HTMLCommentSerializer.js'
  ],
};

Detailed error message is as below

Finally found the solution, renaming my jest.config.js file to jest.config.cfs, fixed the issue. Please find the explanation in this stackoverflow thread.
