Chart.js tooltipTemplate not working

Question

So I'm working with a bar graph in Chart.js, and I'm trying to get the custom tooltips working. Searching around, it seems like the thing to do in this context is to add

tooltipTemplate: "<%= value %>% test" 

to my options section, and that would display the word test after my data value in the resulting tooltip. However, my tooltip remains completely unchanged in reality. And ideas?

Thanks!

Here is an example of custom tooltip label:

var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");

var barChartData = {
        labels : [ "Jan/16", "Feb/16", "Mar/16", "Abr/16", "May/16", "Jun/16", "Jul/16" ],
        datasets : [ {
            type : 'bar',
            label : "Revenue (US$)",
            data : [ 4000, 4850, 5900, 6210, 2500, 4000, 6500 ],
            backgroundColor : 'rgba(0, 0, 255, 0.3)'
        } ]
    };

var myChart = new Chart(ctx,
    {
        type : 'bar',
        data : barChartData,
        options : {
            responsive : true,
            tooltips : {

                callbacks : { // HERE YOU CUSTOMIZE THE LABELS
                    title : function() {
                        return '***** My custom label title *****';
                    },
                    beforeLabel : function(tooltipItem, data) {
                        return 'Month ' + ': ' + tooltipItem.xLabel;
                    },
                    label : function(tooltipItem, data) {
                        return data.datasets[tooltipItem.datasetIndex].label + ': ' + tooltipItem.yLabel;
                    },
                    afterLabel : function(tooltipItem, data) {
                        return '***** Test *****';
                    },
                }

            },
            scales : {
                xAxes : [ {
                    display : true,
                    labels : {
                        show : true,
                    }
                } ],
                yAxes : [ {
                    type : "linear",
                    display : true,
                    position : "left",
                    labels : { show : true },
                    ticks : {
                        beginAtZero : true
                    }
                } ]
            }
        }
    });
