Get-Asset Operation does not ensure WorkingDirectory exists
-
The Get-Asset operation does not ensure the $WorkingDirectory exists. This leads to an exception if the directory has not been created by a previous operation.
The Ensure-Directory operation will create the $WorkingDirectory, but it then becomes a configuration item that is reported on the Server's configuration page.
I cannot locate a function that simply creates a directory if it does not exist. The Get-Asset operation should ensure that the working directory exists when copying the asset, similar to some other operations.
Is there a workaround other than Ensure-Directory?

The Create-File operation will create the directory. Using $WorkingDirectory as the location of the file ensures that that path is created and will be removed after execution completes.
Still, Get-Asset should ensure the destination directory exists.

I totally agree! Thanks for pointing this out.
I've filed this is a bug report (OT-254), so it will get fixed in a future maintenance release
