Question - Initializing temp directories

Hi,

I was trying to run the `test` CLI command for a task involving the
HiveCliHook. This task created a temp directory on /var/folders. However, I
noticed `test` command does not initialize the temp folder required for
this and my task fails for `test` (File Not Found, referring to the temp
file HiveCliHook creates), but it works for `run`.
(

;
compare with `run` command).
Should test initialize the directory?
I personally think it should, so we would be able to use test command for
HiveHooks.
(I am also volunteering for opening a PR).

Thanks!
