Configuration contains string/RegExp pattern, but no filename was passed to Babel

[budarin]

Bug Report

Current Behavior
The project uses typescript as a type checker not as transpiler.
I have working babel config (project runs correctly), but when I try to run jest test - it fails with the error:

Error Code

 FAIL  src/__tests__/server.test.ts
  ● Test suite failed to run

    Configuration contains string/RegExp pattern, but no filename was passed to Babel

Additional context/Screenshots
I started to suspect that the problem was in the env block in babel.config.js - so I have removed it, but got another strange error:

● Test suite failed to run

   /src/utils/initApp.ts:3
    import "core-js/modules/esnext.set.add-all";
    ^^^^^^

    SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

adding to jest.config

    transform: {
        '^.+\\.(js|jsx|ts|tsx|json)$': 'babel-jest',
    },

also produces the above error

Hey @budarin! We really appreciate you taking the time to report an issue. The collaborators on this project attempt to help as many people as possible, but we're a limited number of volunteers, so it's possible this won't be addressed swiftly.

If you need any help, or just have general Babel or JavaScript questions, we have a vibrant Slack community that typically always has someone willing to help. You can sign-up here for an invite."

I can reproduce on my local repo.

Please update ts-jest to v25.2.0, which includes kulshekhar/ts-jest#1370 that happens to fix this issue.
