SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module - and - ReferenceError: module is not defined in ES module scope

Question

I'm attempting to create some API tests with Jestjs and Gotjs and typescript. Below is my snippet for initial.test.ts

import { got } from "got";

test('initial got jest test', async () => {
    const url = 'https://httpbin.org/anything';
    const response = await got(url);
});

This is giving me an error:

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

No, problem. There appears to be a published solution. Add the following to the package.json

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

Well, after adding that to the package.json, and running the script I have a new error:

ReferenceError: module is not defined in ES module scope
This file is being treated as an ES module because it has a '.js' file extension and '/Users/christopher.carignan/Desktop/sunrun/testAutomation/package.json' contains "type": "module". To treat it as a CommonJS script, rename it to use the '.cjs' file extension.

This is really weird. Am I making the correct change to the packagae.json ?

Answer 1

Add the following code in index.d.ts file

declare module 'got' {
const content: any;
export default content;}

Folder Structure:

tsconfig file: (Add the folder to typeRoots parameter)
