FS.mkdir relative path

I want to use winston to create a logfile, but I'm running into issues when I try to create a directory,

If I use an absolutepath, something like

fs.mkdirSync("/absolute/path/to/directory");

The directory is created just fine,

but if I want the directory to be created in the current working directory of the application

fs.mkdirSync("winstonLogs");

Proceeds without error, but no directory is created. How do I create the directory in the current project directory so that wherever my application is deployed it can create its logfiles?
