I have the following code:

  const fs = await import("fs");
    let hashedPassword;

    if (!fs.existsSync(".fs")) {
      fs.mkdirSync(".fs");
      console.info("No cache found. Creating .fs");
    }

    if (!fs.existsSync(".fs/token.txt")) {
      console.info("No token found, hashing a new one");
      hashedPassword = bcypt.hashSync(
        password || (process.env.UNIVERSAL_FS_PASSWORD as string),
        10
      );

      fs.writeFileSync(".fs/token.txt", hashedPassword);
    }

    // TODO: add correct url
    const response = await fetch("http://localhost:3000/", {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${hashedPassword}`
      }
    });

    if (response.status === 401) {
      console.error("Failed to authenticate. Check your password");
    } else if (response.status === 200) {
      console.info("Authenticated");
    } else if (response.status === 500) {
      console.info("Something else went wrong. Check your server logs");
    }

It checks if the .fs folder exists. If it does than the token is used for auth. If not it hashes a new one. The fs folder does not exists but when consoling the same fs.existsSync I get the result true. However it does not exists.

Running the ls command where the exists call is checking shows that no .fs folder exists:

README.md         eslint.config.js  package.json      rollup.config.mjs tests             types
dist              node_modules      pnpm-lock.yaml    src               tsconfig.json     vite.config.ts

To get more info I consoled fs.stat and this was the result:

}

It seems Node still thinks the dir and file exist on my system. Envinfo:
