[Bug]: 'ts-node' is required for the TypeScript configuration files

[hamzahamidi]

Version

29.2.5

Steps to reproduce

npm install --save-dev jest ts-jest @types/jest
npx ts-jest config:init

jest.config.ts

import type { Config } from 'jest';

const config: Config = {
  preset: 'ts-jest',
  testEnvironment: 'node',
  testMatch: ['tests/**/*.spec.ts'],
  globals: {
    'ts-jest': {
      tsconfig: 'tsconfig.json',
    },
  },
  collectCoverage: true,
  collectCoverageFrom: ['src/**/*.ts'],
  coverageReporters: ['text-summary', 'lcov'],
};

export default config;

package.json

  "scripts": {
    "test": "jest"
  },

Expected behavior

Running npm run test should work successfully.

I'm getting the error

Error: Jest: Failed to parse the TypeScript config file /Users/hhamidi/projects/new-project/jest.config.ts
Error: Jest: 'ts-node' is required for the TypeScript configuration files. Make sure it is installed
Error: Cannot find package 'ts-node' imported from /Users/hhamidi/projects/new-project/node_modules/jest-config/build/readConfigFileAndSetRootDir.js

installing ts-node was not specified in the docs.
