When I try to generate output files using NSwagStudio I get an UnauthorizedAccessException exception:
Repro steps:

Actual result:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'c:\nswag' is denied.

Looks like this happens because I was specifying a directory instead of a file path. It would be great to return a better error message for this case. Also, I expected to provide a directory because I hoped that multiple files would be generated for the client, the models, etc. instead of putting everything in one file.
Currently only one file is generated (or a second contracts file). There is the plan to support outputting multiple files, but I currently work on more important things...
Created a new issue for that: https://github.com/RSuter/NJsonSchema/issues/514
