Using jest.config.ts causes "ReferenceError: globalThis is not defined"

🐛 Bug Report

If I use a jest.config.ts file to configure Jest as laid out in the Configuring Jest page, then when I run tests I get the following error:

  ● Test suite failed to run

    evalmachine.<anonymous>:1
    globalThis
    ^

    ReferenceError: globalThis is not defined

      at evalmachine.<anonymous>:1:1
      at setupWindow (node_modules/jsdom/lib/jsdom/browser/Window.js:111:55)
      at new Window (node_modules/jsdom/lib/jsdom/browser/Window.js:223:3)
      at exports.createWindow (node_modules/jsdom/lib/jsdom/browser/Window.js:95:10)
      at new JSDOM (node_modules/jsdom/lib/api.js:36:20)

Switching this to a jest.config.js file or moving the config into package.json fixes this.

I have ts-node version 9.1.1 installed in my package.json file.

I wonder if this is because I'm using asdf as my Node version manager and/or because I'm using Node 10.14.2.

Vaguely related to jsdom/jsdom#2961 (comment).

And yes, it's triggered since you run with Node 10. Updating to Node 12 (or newer) should fix it.

Real fix is the stalled jsdom/jsdom#2975
