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
I also wrote another helper package output-files that creates a whole file tree at once by passing an object. It's much easier than writing a lot of fs.writeFile calls to create many files.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing with-local-tmp-dir and output-files you can also consider the following projects:
jest - Delightful JavaScript Testing.
mock-fs - Configurable mock for the fs module
mocha - ☕️ simple, flexible, fun javascript test framework for node.js & the browser
endent - ⬅️ An ES6 string tag makes indentation better
expect - Write better assertions
watcher - The file system watcher that strives for perfection, with no native dependencies and optional rename detection support.
sequentially-generate-planet-mbtiles - Generate vector tiles for the entire planet on relatively low spec hardware.
fs-extra - Node.js: extra methods for the fs object like copy(), remove(), mkdirs()
