tests configuration as an array not working

[mathmul]

What are you trying to achieve?

I want to cherry-pick which tests should run. tests: "./tests/*/*/*.js", works, but I'd like to use

tests: [
    "./tests/*/*.js",
    "./tests/*/*/*.js",
],

Documentation says:

Can either be a pattern to locate tests or an array of patterns to locate tests / test file names.

and offers an example: tests: ['./*_test.js','./sampleTest.js'],

What do you get instead?

A type error:

user@MacBook-Pro-2 Automation % npx codeceptjs run -c ./android.conf.js --steps --verbose
