fails running symlink test files

[mastilver]

I tried solving my issue: #1136
I tried to use symlink instead but it's throwing:

(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import test from 'ava';
                                                              ^^^^^^

Could you provide more detail? Perhaps we don't resolve symlinks in test patterns but that doesn't explain the syntax error.

[mastilver]

Here's my package.json when using symlink: https://github.com/mastilver/nosqwal/blob/6a5ceaf53ddcc2c1c7747e7f2910def72a4d7963/packages/nosqwal-memory/package.json
and the failing build: https://travis-ci.org/mastilver/nosqwal/builds/180356647

So I've got: ln -s node_modules/nosqwal-test/test ./ as a postinstall script
I have the default ava config, so I would assume ava to run test inside the test folder

@mastilver I've managed to reproduce this issue, see #1143 for details.

Closing this PR since we don't have a good way of accepting failing tests for AVA itself. Nice find though!
