Ava and permissions with docker volume folder on electron project - unit-testing

Question

My project is contained from the following files with respective permissions:
-rw-r--r-- 1 pcmagas pcmagas 761 Νοέ 20 18:08 .compilerc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 pcmagas pcmagas 1034 Νοέ 23 19:11 docker-compose.yml

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Νοέ 23 19:13 volumes
drwxrwxr-x 2 pcmagas pcmagas 4096 Νοέ 23 21:43 .vscode
And inside test folder I have the following test file:
import test from ava;
test('true' t => {
t.pass("Hardcoded passing test in order to make the ava run")
});
And I have configured ava like that bases upon: https://spectrum.chat/?t=d5e89afe-9a3c-4222-a5c6-d6322eb5fcec) and the stackoverflow question: Ava split tests Into multiple files
"ava": {
"files": [
"./test",
"!./volumes",
"!./submodules"
],
"sources": "./src/**/*.{js,jsx}"
},
But when I run the tests I get the following error:
> custom_xmpp#1.0.0 test /home/pcmagas/Kwdikas/master_thesis/custom_xmpp

What I have done wrong?

Unfortunately AVA also looks for helper files. You currently can't configure these directory patterns. However if you disable AVA's compilation of test and helper files the problem should go away. See https://github.com/avajs/ava/blob/master/docs/recipes/babel.md#disable-avas-babel-pipeline.
