Build vitepress directly without relying on package.json in writer

[asinghvi17]

@lazarusA this should fix the Julia build

[lazarusA]

ohh.. this was not merged in the latest release. Testing this branch now.
Ohh my bad.

YES. I works!!!

There is still something not right:

> docs:dev
> vitepress dev _build/html/en/.documenter

failed to start server. error:
Error: You need to install `markdown-it-mathjax3` to use math support.

How did you run that last thing exactly?

[lazarusA]

as it is: https://github.com/lazarusA/julia/tree/la/docs

in the root dir:

make docs

fails to build. I need to go into doc and do npm i first , and then

make docs

works.

and as usual in

doc> npm run docs:dev

to see the site.

[lazarusA]

and if you want to test your branch (without the npm i step),

change line 9 in the make.jl file by

Pkg.add(PackageSpec(url="https://github.com/LuxDL/DocumenterVitepress.jl", rev="as/better_build"))

[asinghvi17]

huh. I'm like 90% sure we run npm i but maybe it's in the wrong place.

[lazarusA]

yeah, npm i its ran internally. But for some reason when calling make docs it fails to do so. It only copies the packages.json file (if not available), but after that it's not doing the installation.

[asinghvi17]

I think the issue here is that it was probably using the wrong version of node or something, there were a bunch of recent issues about that.
