You have to enable the minibuffer recursive mode (and I added the recursive counter too) for it to work as it asks you for the creation of the folder.

By removing the /interactive/ arguments and function arguments, it will create the folder directly without asking and you will be able to avoid activating the /minibuffer recursive mode/ (I wonder why it’s not activated by default you can mail me).
