JSDom 11.12 causes SecurityError: localStorage is not available for opaque origins

🐛 Bug Report

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Jsdom just recently upgraded to version 11.12, which includes support for window.localStorage and other features. See https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom/blob/master/Changelog.md.

A fresh yarn install deduces that Jest uses this latest version, but this causes all existing Jest test cases to fail with:

SecurityError: localStorage is not available for opaque origins

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install latest Jest
2. Make a clean yarn/npm install
3. Setup a basic test case
4. Run it

Expected behavior

Test case should pass.

Run npx envinfo --preset jest

Update: as noted in the linked issue, adding the following to the Jest config solves the issue:

testURL: 'http://localhost'

Perhaps the default for this config option needs to be changed?

Add testEnvironment env config for non-browser enviroment
