Essentially I’m trying to store all of file system in a certain dir in an array of objects. Here is my code:

type Cache = {
  path: string;
  content: Buffer;
};

const readdir = (dir: string, currentDir: string) => {
  const dirContent = fs.readdirSync(dir);
  const ignore = fs.readFileSync(".gitignore", "utf8").split("n");
  ignore.push(".git");

  const cache: Cache[] = [];

  dirContentLoop: for (let i = 0; i < dirContent.length; i++) {
    const path = `${currentDir}/${dirContent[i]}`.replace("./", "");
    for (let j = 0; j < ignore.length; j++) {
      if (path === ignore[j]) {
        continue dirContentLoop;
      }
    }

    if (isDir(path)) {
      readdir(dirContent[i], path);
      continue;
    }

    cache.push({
      path: path,
      content: fs.readFileSync(path)
    });
  }

  global.cache = cache;
};

The function readdir takes in two params:

• dir the dir to read
• currentDir the current directory being read in

If a path is a directory the readdir function calls itself. However when I run the function I get an error:

node:fs:1509
  const result = binding.readdir(
                         ^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir 'workflows'

Node.js v22.3.0

What is wrong with my logic here?
