How to test NodeJs CLI javascript

Question

I need to put some tests around a nodejs command line utilities\modules. No browser involved and I'm using a lot of the "fs" module to work the file system, so i'm not sure a browser based test mechanism would work (sandboxing).

any modules that would help here?

It is not clear at all what your requirements are or what exactly you are trying to do. This question as it stands appears to be asking for a third party resource and is far too broad and unclear - all three of which are reasons for it to be considered off-topic for the forum and closed. — jfriend00

Usually, a command line program creates some output and you test that output to see if it is the desired output. — jfriend00

Check out Vorpal.js. This lets you create an interactive CLI in node, in which you can then run custom commands to test the various things you want to test.
