Node filesystem path is pointing to wrong spot

I'm currently writing a plugin for atom, my issue is that i'm trying to look through files local to my project, but the wrong path is always grabbed by node.

E.g if I call this "atom.project.getPaths()" i'm returned the exact path to my project which i'd expect node to use.

C:\Users\TomYeoman\github\package-name

However when i'm trying to iterate through the files in this project, using nodes build in "fs" command in the same file

fs.readFile('js_uncompiled/approval_functions.js')

I end up with the error

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\TomYeoman\AppData\Local\atom\app-1.15.0\js_uncompiled\approval_functions.js'

Has anyone faced this before, should I override the default FS behaviour or is there something obvious i'm missing?

Thanks
