Yeah, i just realized that i was running an older version and i read somewhere that they took it out in 1.34.  I'll try what you suggested though, thanks!

Are you still using 1.33.1?  That would run afoul of the name checker
in older versions, but I think it should work fine 1.34, as the
obligatory name checking was removed.

In 1.33.1 you need something like create_directory( path(".test",
path::native) )
