Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. When running cargo about -o "./target/licenses.html"
I need to ensure that the target
directory is already present.
(This is not really an issue for us, but on the other hand probably a low-hanging-fruit 😄 )
Describe the solution you'd like
I would expect a idempotent call to create the directory if the (parent) directory is missing (think of mkdir -p
). It seems that other tooling which contribute to Rust's target
directory behaves the same (e.g. cargo build
itself).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Workaround: Create the parent directory within CI/make tooling. Especially for the example target
this is done implicitly through cargo build
.
Additional context
Issue which occurs when executing cargo about
without executing cargo build
before.
