Valid test in code/test.js, but npm test code/test.js results in "Couldn’t find any files to test"

Please provide details about:

• What you're trying to do

Run a test in /app/code/test.js

• Why you can't use AVA for this

Regardless of how I try this, I always get "Couldn’t find any files to test"

root@7d5a158f4fef:/app# cat package.json 
{
	"name": "docker-ava",
	"scripts": {
		"test": "ava"
	},
	"devDependencies": {
		"ava": "*"
	}
}

• And maybe how you think AVA could handle this

I am aware of issue #2373, so I know eventually AVA will tell me what I'm doing wrong. However, for now I'd like some feedback from the maintainers to guide me in the right direction.

Ahhh, just saw I need to specify my test files in configuration. Works now.
