Vitest fails when importing and using a typescript file in a test

[Wizzel1]

Describe the bug

So I have a turbo monorepo with a package called "types" where I export all types and constants from an index.ts file.

This is its package.json:

{
  "name": "@podsuite/types",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.ts",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "vitest",
    "test:watch": "vitest watch",
    "test:coverage": "vitest run --coverage",
    "format": "biome format . --write"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "@podsuite/components": "workspace:*",
    "svelte": "^4.2.18"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "vitest": "^2.0.2"
  }
}

In this package I have installed vitest and I want to test this file:

src/marketplaces.ts

import { z } from 'zod';
export const marketplaces = z.enum([
  'unitedStates',
  'unitedKingdom'
]);

but just a basic test like this fails:

import { expect, test } from 'vitest';
import { marketplaces } from '../index';

test('should work', () => {
  expect(marketplaces).toBeDefined();
});

with the error:

FAIL test/marketplaces.test.ts [ test/marketplaces.test.ts ]
Error: Failed to parse source for import analysis because the content contains invalid JS syntax. If you are using JSX, make sure to name the file with the .jsx or .tsx extension.

This is my vitest.config.ts:

import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config';

export default defineConfig({
  test: {
    include: ['src/**/*.{test,spec}.{js,ts}'],
  },
});

At this point I have basically copy pasted this example (without the tsconfig):
