No files are written: mkdir@1.0.0 broke mkdir-promise as such writeFile processor broke

See original GitHub issue

mkdirp@1.0.0 changed implementation from callback to promisified api

mkdir-promise has "mkdirp": "*" dependency: https://github.com/ahmadnassri/mkdirp-promise/blob/master/package.json#L37

As such, the writeFile stopped working because the Promise never resolves.

https://github.com/angular/dgeni-packages/blob/master/base/services/writeFile.js#L1

I fixed it locally in a project workspace by overriding the factory with a custom implementation:

import * as mkdirp from 'mkdirp';
import * as fs from 'fs';
import * as path from 'canonical-path';

/**
 * mkdirp module changed implementation from callback to promise in 1.0.0
 *
 * As such, mkdir-promise stopped working.
 *
 * @link https://github.com/isaacs/node-mkdirp/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
