    Alright, let's dive into it! First of all you need a testing framework. I'm going to use Mocha here, but you can also use Jest or any other framework of your choice. I'm also using expect for assertions. After that, we'll install some packages that we need to write our tests:

    A lot of my past projects in some way had to do with file access. I started to test with mocking libraries like mock-fs, but soon recognized that they do not work for all cases, and sometimes you are using third party libraries internally that you cannot mock easily. So I thought of a different solution and the one I'm using right now for most projects actually uses real files.

    In this post I'll be showing you how you can use mock-fs to easily unit test your Node.js scripts.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing expect and mock-fs you can also consider the following projects:

with-local-tmp-dir - Creates a temporary folder inside cwd, cds inside the folder, runs a function, and removes the folder. Especially useful for testing.

fs-extra - Node.js: extra methods for the fs object like copy(), remove(), mkdirs()

jest - Delightful JavaScript Testing.

output-files - Output a tree of files and directories by providing an object. Especially useful for testing with real files.

mocha - ☕️ simple, flexible, fun javascript test framework for node.js & the browser
