Jest return error when using "import * as .." - jestjs

Question

I have problems to run my test suite when I used import * as './filename.js' with Jest.
All the others imports run without problems so I don't think is a problem with babel configuration.
I use Nextjs 10(so react17), Jest, Typescript and babel-jest.
Here is my babel.config.js
{
"env": {
"development": {
"presets": ["next/babel"]
},
"production": {
"presets": ["next/babel"]
},
"test": {
"presets": [
[
"next/babel",
{
"preset-env": {
"modules": "commonjs"
}
}
]
]
}
}
}
And here an example of the test that gives the error:
import React, { FC, useEffect } from 'react'
import Head from 'next/head'
import Header from '../Header/Header'
import HeaderHome from '../HeaderHome/HeaderHome'
import Footer from '../Footer/Footer'
import styles from './Layout.module.css'
import * as settingsHelper from '../../helpers/_settingsHelper'
// .... normal react component here.
And inside the _seetingsHelper.js I call my cookieHelper like so:
import * as cookieHelper from './_cookies'
function initialise () {
// body of function here
}
error:
.../helpers/_settingsHelper.js:2
import * as cookieHelper from './_cookies'
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module
