So I am writing unit test using "react-testing-library" on Jest and I have this error:

 Test suite failed to run

    ReferenceError: global is not defined

After I added "jest-environment-jsdom": "^27.0.6" as a dev dependency, that error went away.

I had this problem using angular v13 with jest v27.2.3 and tsjest v27.0.5 and my problem was with the configuration of jest.config.ts files and what solves it for me was this configuration:

module.exports = {
  displayName: 'myApp',
  preset: '../../jest.preset.js',
  setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/src/test-setup.ts'],
  globals: {
    'ts-jest': {
      tsconfig: '<rootDir>/tsconfig.spec.json',
      stringifyContentPathRegex: '\\.(html|svg)$'
    }
  },
  coverageDirectory: '../../coverage/apps/myapp',
  transform: {
    '^.+\\.(ts|mjs|js|html)$': 'jest-preset-angular'
  },
  transformIgnorePatterns: [
    '<rootDir>/node_modules/(?!lodash-es/.*)',
    '<rootDir>/node_modules/(?!ng2-charts/.*)',
    '^.+\\.js$'
  ],
  moduleNameMapper: {
    '^lodash-es$': 'lodash'
  },
  snapshotSerializers: [
    'jest-preset-angular/build/serializers/no-ng-attributes',
    'jest-preset-angular/build/serializers/ng-snapshot',
    'jest-preset-angular/build/serializers/html-comment'
  ]
};

or to libs

module.exports = {
  displayName: 'myLib',
  preset: '../../../jest.preset.js',
  setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/src/test-setup.ts'],
  globals: {
    'ts-jest': {
      tsconfig: '<rootDir>/tsconfig.spec.json',
      stringifyContentPathRegex: '\\.(html|svg)$'
    }
  },
  coverageDirectory: '../../../coverage/libs/...',
  transform: {
    '^.+\\.(ts|mjs|js|html)$': 'jest-preset-angular'
  },
  transformIgnorePatterns: ['node_modules/(?!.*\\.mjs$)'],
  snapshotSerializers: [
    'jest-preset-angular/build/serializers/no-ng-attributes',
    'jest-preset-angular/build/serializers/ng-snapshot',
    'jest-preset-angular/build/serializers/html-comment'
  ]
};
