This issue pertains to the changes in a future SDV release (currently in the branch feature-branch-download-demo).
Problem Description
When downloading a demo dataset and setting an output folder path, the method raises an error:
data, meta = download_demo('single_table', 'student_placements_pii', 'output_folder')
KeyError: 'popitem(): dictionary is empty'
Expected behavior
When the output_folder_name is set, it should return the data and metadata in addition to writing data + metadata to that folder.
