[BUG] Cannot use uuid with Jest

Before you begin…

• I have searched the existing issues
• I am not using version 13.x of node (if so, please upgrade)

Description of the problem

When I import the aws-sdk/client-dynamodb (which uses uuid), I can no longer test with the latest version of Jest.

 jest
 FAIL  __tests__/example.test.js
  ● Test suite failed to run

    Jest encountered an unexpected token

    Jest failed to parse a file. This happens e.g. when your code or its dependencies use non-standard JavaScript syntax, or when Jest is not configured to support such syntax.

    Out of the box Jest supports Babel, which will be used to transform your files into valid JS based on your Babel configuration.

    By default "node_modules" folder is ignored by transformers.

    Here's what you can do:
     • If you are trying to use ECMAScript Modules, see https://jestjs.io/docs/ecmascript-modules for how to enable it.
     • If you are trying to use TypeScript, see https://jestjs.io/docs/getting-started#using-typescript
     • To have some of your "node_modules" files transformed, you can specify a custom "transformIgnorePatterns" in your config.
     • If you need a custom transformation specify a "transform" option in your config.
     • If you simply want to mock your non-JS modules (e.g. binary assets) you can stub them out with the "moduleNameMapper" config option.

    You'll find more details and examples of these config options in the docs:
    https://jestjs.io/docs/configuration
    For information about custom transformations, see:
    https://jestjs.io/docs/code-transformation

    Details:

Recipe for reproducing

Please see this sandbox:

https://codesandbox.io/s/boring-resonance-g84z3y?file=/__tests__/example.test.js

I basically just go from this starting point example: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-jest
And then import dynamodb somewhere.

I also raised an issue in Next.js but got redirected here: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/38368

For anyone else looking for a fix for this, this PR solves it: https://github.com/uuidjs/uuid/pull/616/files So you can copy those changes into your package.json for UUID until it gets merged.

Also a better fix, that worked for me, that doesnt require changing something in node_modules (so will persist through reinstalling your node_modules): https://github.com/uuidjs/uuid/issues/451#issuecomment-1112328417

This may be a problem with Jest (they changed Babel configuration in v28). It seems that Jest does not transform the uuid dependency.

The following workaround in jest.config got tests passing for me:

  transformIgnorePatterns: [
    `node_modules/(?!(uuid)/)`,
  ],
