[Bug]: Compiler error with jest.config.ts and NodeNext moduleResolution in tsconfig.json

[akwodkiewicz]

Version

29.1.2

Steps to reproduce

1. Create / migrate an existing TS project to moduleResolution: "NodeNext" (with `module: "NodeNext")
2. Have the jest.config.ts file inside the project
3. Run Jest

Expected behavior

Correctly parsed Jest config

Actual behavior

Error: Jest: Failed to parse the TypeScript config file /Users/akwodkiewicz/my-repo/jest.config.ts
  TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
error TS5110: Option 'module' must be set to 'NodeNext' when option 'moduleResolution' is set to 'NodeNext'.

Additional context

The same error happens for "moduleResolution": "Node16" setting:

TS5110: Option 'module' must be set to 'Node16' when option 'moduleResolution' is set to 'Node16'.

and for "moduleResolution": "Bundler"

TS5095: Option 'bundler' can only be used when 'module' is set to 'es2015' or later.

Reported for visibility (it's sometimes easier to find an issue rather than a pending PR), because I have created a PR with a fix already.

I ran into the same issue using moduleResolution: "bundler"

  TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
error TS5095: Option 'bundler' can only be used when 'module' is set to 'es2015' or later.

I think this is the same issue: #13350
The issue mentions using TS_NODE_PROJECT environment variable to pass in a different tsconfig to set commonjs and node16 for moduleResoluton which also works. #13350 (comment)

I have not tested your PR #14739 but it makes sense to be using node16 with commonjs and should fix the problem
