Jest TypeScript tests failing with: export default data; ^^^^^^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'

Question

I'm trying to add tests to an existing React TypeScript App.

But every time I run the tests, it's failing with this error:

/node_modules/@iconify/icons-eva/menu-2-fill.js:6

export default data; ^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'

  1 | import { Icon } from "@iconify/react";
> 2 | import menu2Fill from "@iconify/icons-eva/menu-2-fill";
    | ^
  3 | import { alpha, styled } from "@mui/material/styles";
  4 | import { Box, Stack, AppBar, Toolbar, IconButton } from "@mui/material";
  5 |

 at Runtime.createScriptFromCode (node_modules/jest-runtime/build/index.js:1728:14)
 at Object.<anonymous> (src/layouts/dashboard/DashboardNavbar.tsx:2:1)

Referred to Jest setup "SyntaxError: Unexpected token export" and tried to add moduleNameMapper and transformIgnorePatterns to my jest.config.js file. This is how it looks.

/** @type {import('ts-jest/dist/types').InitialOptionsTsJest} */

module.exports = {
  preset: "ts-jest",
  verbose: true,
  transform: {
    "\\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|eot|otf|webp|svg|ttf|woff|woff2|mp4|webm|wav|mp3|m4a|aac|oga)$": "<rootDir>/fileTransformer.js",
    "^.+\\.tsx?$": "ts-jest",
    "^.+\\.(js|jsx|mjs)$": "<rootDir>/node_modules/babel-jest",
  },
  moduleFileExtensions: ["ts", "tsx", "js", "jsx", "json", "node"],
  setupTestFrameworkScriptFile: "<rootDir>/src/setupTests.ts",

  moduleNameMapper: {
    "@iconify/icons-eva/(.*)$": "@iconify/react/dist/$1",
  },
  transformIgnorePatterns: ["<rootDir>/node_modules/(?!@iconify)"],
};

It stills fails.

This is what my package.json file looks like in case that helps:
