🔒 Error message doesnt show up

[wanton crow]

Hey, guys i have a problem, im building a simple notes program that creates text files which should function as notes. My current problem is that when I try to create a note with the same name as already existing note the error message wont show up for some reason.
Any ideas why ?

running = True

def mainMenu():
   print('1. Create a new note.')
   print('2. Delete a note.')
   print('3. Exit a program.')
   print()
   choice = input('Enter a number of your choice: ')
   handleMainMenu(choice)



def handleMainMenu(choice):
    global running
    if choice == '1':
        note_name = input('Enter a name of your new note: ')
        createNote(note_name)
    elif choice == '3':
        running = False

def createNote(note_name):
    note_name = f"{note_name}.txt"
    new_note_path = os.path.join(notes_path, note_name)
    if not os.path.exists(new_note_path):
        with open(new_note_path, 'w') as file:
            file.write('')
        print(f"Note '{note_name}' created successfully.")
    else:
        print('ERROR: Note with this name already exists!')
    
    

folder_path = 'C:/Users/maxov/Desktop/projects/python'
folder_name = 'notes'
notes_path = os.path.join(folder_path, folder_name)

if(not os.path.exists(notes_path)):
   os.mkdir(notes_path)

while running:
    mainMenu()
