How to Write File-Based Tests With Real Files
Why not use real files for testing instead of mocking? I built an NPM package called with-local-tmp-dir that basically creates a temporary subfolder inside cwd, cds into it, runs a function, and cds back to the previous cwd afterwards. In this function you can create files and pretty much anything, run your unit under test. Afterwards the folder is removed and everything is cleaned up. You actually do not solely need to use it for tests, you can use it anywhere, but it's mostly useful for tests.

How to Write File-Based Tests With Real Files
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:
What are some alternatives?
When comparing with-local-tmp-dir and expect you can also consider the following projects:
