Why the addition of 'utf8'? We should still test the case where the encoding is not provided. If anything, maybe add another assertion.

According to the documentation:
If the encoding option is specified then this function returns a string. Otherwise it returns a buffer.
So, it seemed to me that the old test with just assert.equal was not actually doing much...although I could be wrong? In any case, I did not see much value in adding another test beyond what was added.
Perhaps I could add an assertion that compares Buffer content of a readFileSync call with no encoding? I am still new to the style and preferences of contributing to the Node.js project, but personally if I was to do such a thing, I would do so in a different PR in an effort to separate refactoring tests and adding tests.

TL;DR How about just change this line to this?:
assert.strictEqual(fs.readFileSync(fixture).toString(), 'xyz\n`);The reasoning:
-
This line has the arguments reversed from the documentation. Let's switch them.
-
To address @cjihrig's comment, leave the
fs.readFileSync()call as it was so that we're not altering the code path (inreadFileSync()) that is being tested. Instead, applytoString()to the result so we can compare it to a string.
