can't run meteor tests using practicalmeteor:mocha - file structure issue

I am developing a simple web application in Meteor JS. I want to run tests using practicalmeteor:mocha so I run

 meteor add practicalmeteor:mocha

and I can start the meteor app in the test mode correctly having this

running in test mode

The problem is I'm trying to add tests and run it but I don't know where to put it.

I created a folder in the root of the project named "tests" and put a file named test.tests.js, the file contents is:

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import { Random } from 'meteor/random';
import { assert } from 'meteor/practicalmeteor:chai';


 describe('movie_db',function({

    it('can view only existing movies', () => {
        // Find the internal implementamtion of the task method so we can
        // test it in isolation
        const result = movies.find({name: "adsgfdfhggfsd"}).count();

        // Verify that the method does what we expected
        assert.equal(result, 0);
    });

 }));

but nothing happens in the page with test results, I still have 0 pass and 0 failed (As if there's no any test written).

So I need to know what should I do to run these tests.

============== Edit ===========================

it worked when I put the test in the server or the client folders. the client tests in the client folder and the server tests in the server folder.

The documentation isn't clear about this, but basically when you are testing with practicalmeteor:mocha, you want your tests saved as .tests.js but not in a /tests folder.

If they are in a /tests folder they won't be seen. Hope that helps
