SyntaxError: 'import' and 'export' may appear only with 'sourceType: module' (1:0)

Here's what I'm trying to do:

import ice from "node-icecream"

const ic = ice({ outputFunction: log.debug });
// ...
const someVariable = ic(someFunctionCall());

And here's what I get:

    SyntaxError: 'import' and 'export' may appear only with 'sourceType: module' (1:0)

      79 |
      80 | function mapStateToProps(state: State): StateProps {
    > 81 |   const { activeBuf } = ic(getActive(state));
         |                         ^
      82 |
      83 |   log.debug({ activeBuf });
      84 |

      (further are lines from my project)

It happens when I run tests through jest. My project uses Typescript and ts-jest to run typescript test files.

Just ran into the same issue (using Node 16 and ts-node v8.10.2):

/t/node_modules/node-icecream/node_modules/acorn/dist/acorn.js:2757

using the following minimal test:

import ice from 'node-icecream'
const ic = ice({ prefix: 'TS: '})
const o1 = { a: 1 }
ic(o1)
