TypeError: Jest: a transform must export a `process` function

Question

Recently upgrading my app to Angular 11. Jest has been set up as the default testing framework. Running npm test results in the following error:

● Test suite failed to run

    TypeError: Jest: a transform must export a `process` function.

      20 | @Component({
      21 |     selector: 'app-bx-input-textbox',
    > 22 |     template: require('./bx-input-textbox.component.html'),
         |               ^
      23 |     styles: [String(require('./bx-input-textbox.component.scss'))],

// jest.config.js

module.exports = {
  testEnvironment: "jsdom",
  transform: {

  globals: {    
    "ts-jest": {
      tsConfig: {
        // allow js in typescript
        allowJs: true,
      },
    },
  },
  // If you need to test a specifc file just include it here
  //testMatch: ['**/repository.jobs.spec.ts'],
  testMatch: []
};

Package versions "@angular-builders/jest": "12.1.0", "@types/jest": "24.9.1", "ts-jest": "26.0.0", "jest": "24.9.0",

I have tried different configurations with the jest.config.js file but not able to resolve this error. Any pointers to resolve this issue would be helpful.
