Error when running test for angular material version 10 and jest

See original GitHub issue

Reproduction

I created a angular cli project with a MatTable. I wrote a small spec file to check AppComponent (component with mat-table).

When using version ~9.1.0 of angular and ^9.2.4 of angular material, I can run the app.component.spec with a karma and a jest setup. However, when updating the project to version 10 with ng update --all, the test only runs with the karma setup.

Steps to reproduce: table-app -cli-karma-v10.zip table-app-cli-jest-v9.zip table-app-cli-jest-v10.zip table-app-cli-karma-v9.zip

Check out the different attached zips.
Run npm install
Run ng test
