running idf against energyplus.exe

when I open ep-launce with weather file and idf I get in the same folder of the idf all the result files with the name of the idf file the result are base of the output tags in the idf file

When I run it with console like this

    energyplus_exe = "C:\\EnergyPlusV9-6-0\\EnergyPlus.exe"
    idf_file = "path/to/file.idf"
    epw_file = "path/to/weather.epw"
    output_directory = "C:\\EnergyPlusV9-6-0\\Output"

    os.makedirs(output_directory, exist_ok=True)

    command = [energyplus_exe, "-w", epw_file, "-d", output_directory, idf_file]
subprocess.check_call(command)

I get some "eplusout" files and not base on the output in idf There are no "meter csv or the variables files

What do i do wrong
