How to reproduce?

# Clone example
git clone git@github.com:rien/node-tree-sitter-bug-minimal-reproducible-example.git
cd node-tree-sitter-bug-minimal-reproducible-example

# Install dependencies
yarn install

# Run jest with all tests
yarn run jest # will possibly succeed
yarn run jest # will fail with 'TypeError: invalid invocation'

# Run jest a single test at a time
yarn run test src/lib/__test__/one.test.ts # succeeds
yarn run test src/lib/__test__/two.test.ts # succeeds

# Run all 100+ ava tests
yarn run ava # succeeds

Running yarn run jest --clearCache sometimes solves this issue for a few runs.

Cause

Jest overrides the require behaviour, which causes the native code to be initialized more than once. Only the first initialization (wrapping a native object) succeeds, causing the initializations thereafter to fail.

Fix

A possible fix is to bind the module that can only be included once to a global variable, like in this commit:

https://github.com/rien/node-tree-sitter-bug-minimal-reproducible-example/commit/57606393c8977d72f926e866abf3996ac75c87a4

However, if your project is using TypeScript this will become very messy to let this work properly.
