--export gives the warning WARNING PATH=<path> could not be found. An attempt to create PATH=<path> will be made. This warning would make more sense if elapi had to create new directories instead of just files.

It is also worth noting, elapi --export gives no warning when a file already exists and it is to be overwritten.

elapi --export gives no warning when a file already exists and it is to be overwritten.

We can introduce an --overwrite flag to solve this issue as suggested by Alexander.

To-do:

• [x] Add an overwrite parameter to ExportValidator class.
• [x] Fallback to EXPORT_DIR if file already exists (without --overwrite).

Fixed with !42.
