Cannot use import statement outside a module

When I try to add Ky to my project, I get the following error when attempting to run tests with Jest:

`

/Users/harryomalley/desert-island-records/client/node_modules/ky/distribution/index.js:2
import { Ky } from './core/Ky.js';
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

  14 | import { RateLimiter } from './rate-limiter';
  15 | import * as mb from './musicbrainz.types';

At first I thought I had a configuration wrong with my project, before I realised that it is complaining about the import statement in Ky itself. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Jest dose some weird transform stuff to your dependencies, which breaks ES modules.

They have experimental support for turning that stuff off, finally.
