Previously, the script attempted to create the './data' directory without checking its existence, leading to an Errno 17 File exists error. This error would prevent the data download script from proceeding further and since no data has been downloaded to the bucket, it throws another error when BigQuery tries to load and transform data ([ERROR] An exception occurred: 404 Not found: URI gs://PROJECT_ID-bucket/data/online_retail.csv;)).
