local target makedirs doesn't use absolute path

[cverstege]

When using a local filesystem for a local file target, makedirs() doesn't use the full path, but only the relative path from the current working directory. See:

>>> import law
>>> fs_plots = law.LocalFileSystem(base="/web/cverstege/public_html/plots/")
>>> out = law.LocalFileTarget("my/subfolder/plot.pdf", fs=fs_plots)                                                                                                                                                
>>> out.makedirs()
>>> import os
>>> os.path.exists("/web/cverstege/public_html/plots/my/subfolder/")                                                                                                                                               
False
>>> os.path.exists("my/subfolder/")
True

I would expect the following behavior:

>>> import law
>>> fs_plots = law.LocalFileSystem(base="/web/cverstege/public_html/plots/")
>>> out = law.LocalFileTarget("my/subfolder/plot.pdf", fs=fs_plots)                                                                                                                                                
>>> out.makedirs()
>>> import os
>>> os.path.exists("/web/cverstege/public_html/plots/my/subfolder/")                                                                                                                                               
True
>>> os.path.exists("my/subfolder/")
False

Thanks for reporting @cverstege!

I'll have a look.

Indeed. The targets in law did not overload the makedirs method coming directly from luigi's target class, but that should be fixed now in the master. (I for my part usually use target.parent.touch(), but good that you caught that :+1:)

Feel free to re-open in case you still see issues.

Thank you for the quick fix :+1:
