lcpy gen never overwrites silently. A directory named after the problem
already exists under the output directory, so generation stops.
Reproduce
Fix
- Generate somewhere else: pass a different output directory,
lcpy gen -n 1 -o practice/week-1.
- Regenerate on purpose: add
--force. The generated files replace
whatever is there, including your edits. If the directory holds a
solution you want, copy solution.py out first, regenerate, then copy
it back.
