"SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module" when importing fetchMock from fetch-mock

[flixman]

I am a newbee with fetch-mock, using jest for a React code, on typescript (targetting ESNext). I am getting the following error, which I do not understand:

/home/user/Documents/project/node_modules/node-fetch/src/index.js:9
    import http from 'node:http';
    ^^^^^^

    SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

I have followed the advise for jest for typescript, using babel and so... but I cannot get this to work. Any idea on what might be wrong?

Seeing this exact same issue (only on JS code). Tried everything I can find online with no luck.
