Error: Directory exists about node-website-scraper-phantom

Hi @Royalgamer06
Looks like you are trying to save to directory which already exists. It is not possible by default. You should use not existing directory or create custom resourceSaver as described in docs

Yes, I don't have an existing folder. It works for the first file it scrapes, but after the first file has been saved (and thus the directory created) it starts logging errors.

@Royalgamer06 it is expected behavior, not existing directory is required for each scrape

It is done in this way to not allow scraper to modify existing files
That's why for first scrape it is ok but for second it returns error

But if you are confident in your code - you can use resourceSaver option to modify this behavior
