$state is not defined when testing Svelte component

I am trying to test a simple Svelte component using Jest and @testing-library/svelte, but I am encountering the following error:

Error

   ReferenceError: $state is not defined      3 |      4 | it('it works', async () => {> 5 |     const { getByText, getByTestId } = render(Sample);        |                                        ^      6 | })      at mount (node_modules/@testing-library/svelte/src/core/modern.svelte.js:26:17)      at render (node_modules/@testing-library/svelte/src/pure.js:72:21)      at Object.<anonymous> (src/sample.spec.ts:5:40)

The component is very basic and does not use any stores:

I tried fiddling with filename i.e sample.svelte.spec.ts

sample.svelte

<script lang="ts"></script><div>    Test</div>

sample.spec.ts

import Sample from './sample.svelte'import { render, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/svelte'it('it renders', async () => {    const { getByText, getByTestId } = render(Sample);  })

import type {Config} from 'jest';const config: Config = {  preset: 'ts-jest',  testEnvironment: 'jsdom',  verbose: true,  transform: {'^.+\\.svelte$': ['svelte-jester', { preprocess: true }],'^.+\\.ts$': ['ts-jest', { useESM: true }],  },  moduleFileExtensions: ["js","ts","svelte"  ],  extensionsToTreatAsEsm: ['.ts','.svelte'  ],  setupFilesAfterEnv: ["@testing-library/jest-dom"]};export default config;

Any thoughts?

Thanks
