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
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.

Unit testing Node.js fs with mock-fs
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 with-local-tmp-dir and mock-fs you can also consider the following projects:
output-files - Output a tree of files and directories by providing an object. Especially useful for testing with real files.
fs-extra - Node.js: extra methods for the fs object like copy(), remove(), mkdirs()
jest - Delightful JavaScript Testing.
mocha - ☕️ simple, flexible, fun javascript test framework for node.js & the browser
expect - Write better assertions
endent - ⬅️ An ES6 string tag makes indentation better
react-native-localhost - ⚛️ 🏡 Returns the local address of your actual development machine.
