Description

The Texentask generates the outputdirectory, if it does not exist, but the Generator-Implementation lacks this feature for control templates like the following:

1. control.vm
   $generator.parse("myTemplate.vm", "subdirectory/myTemplate.out")

So either allow subclasses of TexenTask to use another Generator (1), or change the implementation of getWriter to allow the Generator to create absent directories(2).

(1)
line 486:
Generator generator = createGenerator();

protected Generator createGenerator() {
return Generator.getInstance();
}

(2)
public Writer getWriter(final String path, final String encoding) throws Exception {
final File f = new File(path).getParentFile();
if (!f.exists())

{ f.mkdirs(); }

..
}
