NodeJS - no such file or directory, scandir '/static/reports/' - node.js

Question

I tried following this stackoverflow post to try and see my folder on my static webpage but no luck:https://stackoverflow.com/a/31274417
Here is my code:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const db = require('./persistence');
var fs = require('fs');
var files = fs.readdirSync('./static/reports');
app.use(require('body-parser').json());
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/static'));
db.init().then(() => {
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Listening on port 3000'));
}).catch((err) => {
console.error(err);
process.exit(1);
});
const gracefulShutdown = () => {
db.teardown()
.catch(() => {})
.then(() => process.exit());
};
process.on('SIGINT', gracefulShutdown);
process.on('SIGTERM', gracefulShutdown);
process.on('SIGUSR2', gracefulShutdown); // Sent by nodemon
Here is a picture of what it looks like from vscode:

Starting a file path with a / denotes that it's at the root of the filesystem. Don't use a /; instead, just use static/reports. You can also use ./static/reports if the code will be run from the src/ directory every time.
var fs = require('fs');
var files = fs.readdirSync('static/reports/');
