As a hotfix, you can add overrides to your package.json

{
  "overrides": {
    "pretty-format": {
      "react-is": "19.0.0"
    }
  }
}

The issue is related to react changing the Symbol.for('react.element') to Symbol.for('react.transitional.element') - see facebook/react@3b551c8

This is a bit tricky for Jest as updating the react-is library to v19 will break react <19 and keeping the current version breaks the new react. I am having very similar issue in my library for shallow rendering react components and my current solution is adding react-is as a peer dependency and having users specify the react-is version as a dependency in their projects, but it is not very practical especially in a library like Jest.

Maybe updating react-is to v19 (in pretty-format) and changing this condition with

typeof val === 'object' &&
val != null &&
(
  ReactIs.isElement(val) ||
  val.$$typeof === Symbol.for('react.element') // Compatibility with react <19
)

will solve the issue? But I am not sure if there are more use-cases, that can break.
