Error: Jest: Got error running globalSetup ../#shelf/jest-mongodb/setup.js, reason: Instance Exited before being ready and without throwing an error - mongodb

Question

I'm following the documentation on jestjs.io. When I try to run a test I get this error:
Error: Jest: Got error running globalSetup - /home/.../node_modules/#shelf/jest-mongodb/setup.js, reason: Instance Exited before being ready and without throwing an error!
This happened both when I've used typescript and also when I created a simple app using javascript instead:
package.json:
{
"name": "mongojest",
"version": "1.0.0",
"main": "index.js",
"license": "MIT",
"devDependencies": {
"#shelf/jest-mongodb": "^3.0.1"
},
"scripts": {
"test": "jest"
},
"dependencies": {
"jest": "^28.1.0"
}
}
jest.config.js:
module.exports = {
coverageProvider: "v8",
"preset": "#shelf/jest-mongodb"
};
I haven't made any changes other than the minimum installs to get it running.

Answer 1

I got around this issue by installing Ubuntu 20.04. I was using the newer Ubuntu 22.04 and it seem to have caused some issues.

Answer 2

I installed typescript in my project. That was enough to run. Follow my configuration files
