We might consider skipping a directory structure and just writing directly?

@rbyh @zer0dss can one of you try to re-create?

SofieGoethals commented 3 weeks ago

Is there a solution for this?

johnjosephhorton commented 3 weeks ago

Hi @SofieGoethals so this bug has been intermittent for me. One potential solution is to to try creating the location manually like this, in the directory you're working in: 

mkdir .edsl_cache
