ava Couldn’t find any files to test

[itaven]

I`m trying to do the agile structure of my test framework using ava.
My structure is :
--project
--automation
--tests
-qwe.test.js
--test-helpers
--suites

But ava is only recognized the and running tests in
--project
--test
--qwe.test.js by using - ava -T 60000 -v(npm run test)

I saw some issues according to this problem and no one didn't help me to resolve it.

ava -T 60000 -v automaton/tests/qwe.test.js is also not working and throwing 'Couldn’t find any files to test'

ENV.
"ava": "^3.12.1"

Yes see https://github.com/avajs/ava/blob/master/docs/05-command-line.md#cli which describes where AVA looks for tests (scroll down a bit beyond the CLI usage snippet).

You can replace these patterns using the files configuration, see https://github.com/avajs/ava/blob/master/docs/06-configuration.md.

Any paths or patterns you pass directly on the CLI are used as a filter over the files configuration. But if you specify a path to a non-existent file then AVA won't be able to do anything. We have an open issue to improve the feedback: #2373

I can't tell what's going on based on the details you've provided, but hopefully this gives some more context. If you could share more of your project tree that could help.

(I'm closing this issue for housekeeping purposes, but let's keep the conversation going.)
