Support *.ts files for node --test #55078
Description
Activity
This is already supported via
node --experimental-strip-types --test test.ts@redyetidev correct, but it doesn't pick up *.test.ts files in the same way as it does for .js, cjs, mjs. as it is described here:
https://nodejs.org/api/test.html#running-tests-from-the-command-line
Can we
--experimental-strip-typesas a flag to add also ts, cts, mts files? Thanks!Oh okay, that should a simple few-line fix.
I'll fix this later today if no one does so before me

What is the problem this feature will solve?
I would like to use tests using typescript, not js. Currently if I run
node --testit finds nothing.What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?
node --testwould pick up also typescript files and execute them since typescript now is experimentally supportedWhat alternatives have you considered?
Of course tools like
jestorvitestcan do this out-of-the-box but I would really love to write native tests to have zero dependency on thridparty libraries, just pure node.
