How to read absolute path when using Jest?

Question

I have a react application with Vite framework in which I want to write the test cases using Jest. But the issue is jest is unable to read absolute path used in the import statements.

Attaching tsConfig file and jest config file for reference.

tsconfig.json

    {
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ESNext",
    "lib": ["dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"],
    "types": ["./types/fin", "./types/heap", "node", "jest", "vite/client", "vite-plugin-svgr/client"],
    "allowJs": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "strict": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "noEmit": false,
    "jsx": "react-jsx",
    "noImplicitAny": false,
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "src/*": ["src/*"]
    }
  },
  "include": ["src", "src/config/authConfig.ts"],
  "exclude": ["node_modules", "build"]
}

jest.config.json

module.exports = {
  preset: 'ts-jest',
  collectCoverage: true,
  collectCoverageFrom: ['./src/**'],
  testEnvironment: 'node',
  moduleNameMapper: { '^.+\\.(css|less|gif|jpg|jpeg|svg|png)$': 'module.exports = {};' },
};

Please have a look on the config files and suggest what can done in this.

To solve this issue in my case I just added this in jest.config.js

moduleNameMapper: { '^.+\\.(css|less|gif|jpg|jpeg|svg|png)$': 'module.exports = {};', 'src/(.*)': '<rootDir>/src/$1' },

Look at the last src part which I have added.
