See original GitHub issue

🐛 Bug Report

When I run my tests, I get the following message for each suite:

 FAIL  __tests__/automatic/office/seo.test.js
  ● Test suite failed to run

    TypeError: runtime.unstable_shouldLoadAsEsm is not a function

      at jestAdapter (node_modules/jest-circus/build/legacy-code-todo-rewrite/jestAdapter.js:125:23)

To Reproduce

Delete any existing node_modules and package.lock and jest.config.js
npm i
npm install --save-dev jest-circus
add "testRunner": "jest-circus/runner" to the jest config.
run jest

Expected behavior

Not to get this error but for my tests to run

I had difference between minor version and still got this error. Making sure that jest and jest-circus are both 25.4.0 solved this error for me.
