This is cool! Thanks for writing this up. I left some initial comments. I haven't double-checked if the behavior is right though (I spot checked a couple spots, but I got different results than you in one of them), so you may want to look a bit closer there.
Either way, this seems like a good starting point for a valuable feature.

Is this the right value? I get a different answer in my shell:
$ grep -r 'test' test/r* package.json scripts | wc -l
69

Please do not include anything outside of the resources/ folder in the test (package.json, scripts, etc.). It makes the test much more difficult to maintain if we do unrelated changes in package.json etc.
I think the same goes for test/r* because that matches test/rm.js. Instead of this, how about adding something like test/resources/grep2 and testing the glob test/resources/g* if you want to test globbing?

I think we also need to check result.stdout. My grep will return results for the folders which actually do exist.

We should probably split this into two separate test cases for clarity.
- We want a test case where multiple directories/files are provided, but they do not overlap. ex.
"test/", "different-folder/file.txt" - We want a test case (like this one) where there is overlap. We should assert that the overlapping files are double-counted (because that's what POSIX grep does). ex.
"test/", "test/file.txt"(file.txt should begreped twice).
