Jest: Requiring modules with isolateModules does not work if module has already been required with a non-isolated method e.g: using require.

🐛 Bug Report

Requiring modules with isolateModules does not work if module has already been required with a non-isolated method e.g: using require.

To Reproduce

describe('Isolated modules test', () => {
  test('should be able to return different isolated modules', () => {
    let m0 = require('../path/to/testing/module')
    // let m0
    // jest.isolateModules(() => {
    //   m0 = require('../path/to/testing/module')
    // })

    let m1
    jest.isolateModules(() => {
      m1 = require('../path/to/testing/module')
    })

    expect(m1).toStrictEqual(m0) // does not fail, while it should.
  })
})

Expected behavior

Requiring a module should not have an affect to an isolated module registry.

describe('Isolated modules test', () => {
  test('should be able to return different isolated modules', () => {
    let m0 = require('../path/to/testing/module')
    // let m0
    // jest.isolateModules(() => {
    //   m0 = require('../path/to/testing/module')
    // })

    let m1
    jest.isolateModules(() => {
      m1 = require('../path/to/testing/module')
    })

    expect(m1).toStrictEqual(m0) // should fail.
  })
})

@rogeliog mind taking a look at this?

I also ran into this. My use case is:

const thing = require('../thing');

describe('thing', () => {
   // many tests involving thing
   // ...

    test('some special case', () => {
      jest.isolateModules(() => {
        jest.mock('some-module-that-thing-interacts-with', ...);

        thing = require('../thing');
        // some assertion involving thing
      });
    });
});

I think this should at least be documented since the docs actually show a second import outside the isolatedModules:

let myModule;
jest.isolateModules(() => {
  myModule = require('myModule');
});

const otherCopyOfMyModule = require('myModule');

Any progress on this issue?
