Issue: [Creating new dataset] Not found dataset_info.json
State: closed

Hi, I am trying to create Toronto Book Corpus. #131 

I ran
`~/nlp % python nlp-cli test datasets/bookcorpus --save_infos --all_configs`
but this doesn't create `dataset_info.json` and try to use it
```

```
btw, `ls /home/yisiang/.cache/huggingface/datasets/book_corpus/plain_text/1.0.0/` show me nothing is in the directory.

I have also pushed the script to my fork [bookcorpus.py](https://github.com/richardyy1188/nlp/blob/bookcorpusdev/datasets/bookcorpus/bookcorpus.py).


I think you can just `rm` this directory and it should be good :)

@lhoestq - this seems to happen quite often (already the 2nd issue). Can we maybe delete this automatically?

Yes I have an idea of what's going on. I'm sure I can fix that

Hi, I rebase my local copy to `fix-empty-cache-dir`, and try to run again `python nlp-cli test datasets/bookcorpus --save_infos --all_configs`.

I got this,  
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "nlp-cli", line 10, in <module>
    from nlp.commands.run_beam import RunBeamCommand
  File "/home/yisiang/nlp/src/nlp/commands/run_beam.py", line 6, in <module>
    import apache_beam as beam
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apache_beam'
```
And after I installed it. I got this
```

  File "/home/yisiang/miniconda3/envs/nlppr/lib/python3.7/posixpath.py", line 80, in join
    a = os.fspath(a)
```
The problem is when I print `self._download_config.cache_dir` using pdb, it is `None`.

Did I miss something ?  Or can you provide a workaround first so I can keep testing my script ?

I'll close this issue because I brings more reports in another issue #249 .
