How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

It should tell me that to use import inside file I need to use .mjs and not .cjs

What do you see instead?

Warning: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.

It also offers the solution of setting "type": "module" in the package.json, but that is wrong since my file is .cjs.
