how to write file to parent folder with fs of nodejs?

Question

I want to write a file to the current script folder's parent folder (and sometimes subdirectories to that parent folder)?

How should I write the path?

Can this work?

fs.writeFile(__dirname + '../sibling_dir/file.txt', 'test');

Answer 1

Yes, that should work fine. The main issue I see is that you have no / between the dirname and the path.

So what you have now is more like:

fs.writeFile('/tmp/module../sibling_dir/file.txt', 'test');

try this:

fs.writeFile(__dirname + '/../sibling_dir/file.txt', 'test');
