Mac with configured default RecipeCreateLocation that doesn't exist causes failure

[apizz]

Describe the bug When a fresh Mac has autopkg & Recipe Robot installed but the default RecipeCreateLocation directory path does not exist, produces error.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. On Mac with autopkg & recipe robot, delete the RecipeCreateLocation key from ~/Library/Preferences/com.elliotjordan.recipe-robot.plist
2. Delete the default folder path from system
3. Have Recipe Robot attempt to create recipes for an item
4. See error

Expected behavior A message indicates that the folder doesn't exist, or Recipe Robot automatically creates this path for the user.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• macOS: 10.15.7
• Recipe Robot Version: 2.2.0
• autopkg version: 2.2
• /usr/local/autopkg/python --version: Python 3.7.5

Hi @apizz - Thanks for reporting this. Could you check the output you get for:

defaults read com.elliotjordan.recipe-robot Initialized

[apizz]

~ > defaults read-type com.elliotjordan.recipe-robot Initialized                                                                                     255 19:09:25
Type is boolean

I did some more testing and confirmed that if RecipeCreateLocation value is present but folder doesn't exist that it will create the folder.

Error was slightly different in most recent testing.
