Jest won't recognise test files outside src folder

[calebdeji]

my jest.config.js file is this

module.exports = {
	moduleFileExtensions: ['ts', 'js'],
	testRegex: '/__tests__/.*\\.(ts|js)$',
	transformIgnorePatterns: ['<rootDir>/node_modules/']
};

I have my test files in tests folder

Console ouptut

npm test  

> [email protected] test /home/calebdeji/workspace/open-source/use-network-status
