EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir 'dist/app' and ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir 'dist/app/controllers/privilige'

Hi,
i ran the below commands with @bable/cli(v7.12.0) and @babel/core(v7.12.0) installed in my project.
It throws ENOENT error on first run and EEXIST on second run. Global installation of packages did not help me either.

Finally , i have downgraded the babel to v7.7.5 and it's working fine. is latest babel not compatible with node 10.8.0 ?

First run of the command:

sudo npx babel app --out-dir dist/app --ignore node_modules --extensions '.js,.jsx,.ts,.tsx'
{ Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir 'dist/app/controllers/privilige'

errno: -2,
syscall: 'mkdir',
code: 'ENOENT',
path: 'dist/app/controllers/privilige' }

Second run of the command:

sudo npx babel app --out-dir dist/app --ignore node_modules --extensions '.js,.jsx,.ts,.tsx'
{ Error: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir 'dist/app'

This is a regression introduced in #12458.

As a workaround, please upgrade your node version to latest Node.js 10.
