TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript after version 10.1.0

Current behavior

After upgrading from version 10.0.3 to 10.1.0 cypress shows this error.
The typescript file seems to be ignored, the project works fine with the previous.
Upgrading to any newer version than 10.1.0 does not fix it, I tried with 10.4.0 too.

The error:

Desired behavior

Cypress runs as it did with the previous version, without any typescript compilation errors.

Test code to reproduce

Unfortunately, it's a private repository.

Cypress Version

10.1.0

Other

The only relevant change that I see in the changelog for this to fail is, but I could not find a solution.

Added support for TypeScript projects using "type": "module" using ts-node/esm. Fixed #22096, #21939, and #22074

[dobladov]

Cypress was running with TS_NODE_PROJECT=0 removing it fixes the problem.

[coler-j]

@dobladov where is it running with that and how do you remove it?

[dobladov]

@coler-j it was running locally with this command in pacakge.json

"test:e2e": "TS_NODE_PROJECT=0 cypress open",

After removing the env variable TS_NODE_PROJECT=0 , it works fine using newer versions than 10.0.3
