Express not serving entire static directory just index.html

My file structure is as follows: 

src
  |- client
      |- js
        |- test.js
      |- index.html
  |- server
      |- server.js

What I want to serve is the whole client folder. So on/ I should render index.html and also serve the js folder when I hit the / route i.e just localhost:3000 in this example

My server.js file is as follows: 

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var path = require('path');

app.use(express.static(path.resolve(__dirname + '/../client')));

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('listening on: ', 3000);
})

I end up rendering the index.html file correctly but I do not receive the rest of the files/folders in the client directory.

I had my script tag as minimized i.e <script src="js/test.js />. This does not allow for the rest of the folder to load. I changed it to <script src="js/test.js></script>
