tsconfig.editor.json breaks tests development (Cannot find name 'describe')

See original GitHub issue

Current Behavior

Create angular app with latst (14.1) Nx Open app.component.spec.ts

TS2593: Cannot find name ‘describe’. Do you need to install type definitions for a test runner? Try npm i --save-dev @types/jest or npm i --save-dev @types/mocha and then add ‘jest’ or ‘mocha’ to the types field in your tsconfig.

Expected Behavior

No error in webstorm or vscode

Steps to Reproduce

npx create-nx-workspace@latest with angular preset

Failure Logs

The reason for this error in tests is new tsconfig.editor.json which do not respect jest types

{
  "extends": "./tsconfig.json",
  "include": ["**/*.ts"],
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": []
  }
}
