Description

I tried to save to a folder that does not exist and the zip function fails. here is the full command:

var zipdir = require('zip-dir');
var sourceDir = './dist';
var version = '1.0.99';

zipdir(sourceDir, {
  each: path => console.log(path, "added!"),
  saveTo: `./package/CatTools.${version}.zip`
}, (err, buffer) => {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err);
    process.exit(1);
  } else {
    //do some other stuff
  }
});

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the shown zip-dir call and a saveTo path whose parent folder does not exist. Inspect the saveTo handling and determine the expected behavior for a missing destination folder; done when the behavior is covered by a test and the command no longer fails unexpectedly.
