Deciphered from your log:

app.ts: 21:46 - error TS1343: The 'import.meta' meta-property is only allowed when the '--module' option is 'es2020', 'es2022', 'esnext', 'system', 'node16', or 'nodenext'.

21 const __dirname = fileURLToPath(new URL('.', import.meta.url));
                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~

app.ts:31:1 - error TS1378: Top-level 'await' expressions are only allowed when the 'module' option is set to 'es2022', 'esnext', 'system', 'node16', or 'nodenext', and the 'target' option is set to 'es2017' or higher.

31 await initializeBree();
   ~~~~~

I've noticed TypeScript errors aren't being formatted and printed to the console when run by ts-jest.

Hi @EphraimB @ckrauterlovescoffee do you still experience the issue? Are you running Jest in ESM mode?

[EphraimB]

I'm migrating my code away from express to NestJS so this issue doesn't affect me anymore.
