Get the real path of the system temp directory
The os.tmpdir()
built-in doesn't return the real path. That can cause problems when the returned path is a symlink, which is the case on macOS. Use this module to get the resolved path.
npm install temp-dir
import temporaryDirectory from 'temp-dir';
console.log(temporaryDirectory);
//=> '/private/var/folders/3x/jf5977fn79jbglr7rk0tq4d00000gn/T'
import os from 'node:os';
console.log(os.tmpdir());
//=> '/var/folders/3x/jf5977fn79jbglr7rk0tq4d00000gn/T' // <= Symlink
