Cannot find module 'x' or its corresponding type declarations when running Jest Github Actions

Question

When I run my Jest test suite locally, the tests have no problem finding my imported modules and tests complete successfully. However, on Github Actions. The module seems not able to be found, and tests fail due to this.

Does anyone know what is wrong with my config that may be causing this?

Error message:

src/ui/components/Icon.tsx:3:19 - error TS2307: Cannot find module '@/../public/icons/fa-bars-light.svg' or its corresponding type declarations.

jest.config.js

/** @type {import('ts-jest').JestConfigWithTsJest} */
const { pathsToModuleNameMapper } = require('ts-jest');
const { compilerOptions } = require('./tsconfig');

module.exports = {
  testEnvironment: 'jsdom',
  transform: {
    ".(ts|tsx)": "ts-jest",
    "^.+\.svg$": "jest-transformer-svg" // required to enable svg imports during test runs
  },
  roots: ["<rootDir>"],
  moduleNameMapper: pathsToModuleNameMapper(compilerOptions.paths, { prefix: '<rootDir>/' }),
  modulePaths: [compilerOptions.baseUrl],
  moduleDirectories: ['node_modules', 'src', 'public']
};

  "compilerOptions": {
     ...,
