[HOW] How to create a subdirectory if nonexistent in current path?

[poodle-dog]

What do you want to achieve?
I would like to figure out a way for kibot to create a directory, releases/ in the working directory if none exists.

I use a predefined tree structure for my kibot-generated fabpacks. Kibot will fail to run if there is no releases/ subdirectory already in existence. This has tripped up some of my coworkers with cryptic errors.

Do you have some PCB/Schematic to use as example?
how-2-mcu.tar.gz

Delete the releases/ directory of that zip, and the subsequent kibot run should fail.

Do you have some configuration file (.kibot.yaml) that you are using?

Yes, the YAML I use is here: https://github.com/poodle-dog/kibot-cfg

Environment (please complete the following information):
Where are you running KiBot:

• Using a desktop system? Which OS, distro and version?

Running kibot as a manual system in Ubuntu 20.04.

Additional context
None at this time - happy to provide more if needed.

Hi @poodle-dog !

The solution is simple, you have a misleading config where you say:

  - name: 'zip_asm'
    dir: fab/
    options:
      output: '../releases/staging/fabpack_%p_turnkey_%D_%T.zip'

Here you ask for a dir called fab, but you really need releases/staging/.

You can just tell KiBot what do you want to get:

  - name: 'zip_asm'
    dir: releases/staging/
    options:
      output: 'fabpack_%p_turnkey_%D_%T.zip'

Even when KiBot allows subdirs in the output field you should use it only when you really know this is ok.

Worked like a charm.

Thanks a ton for your help, and all of your great work on this project, @set-soft.
