Additional information
No response
I could not reproduce it. If a path to a Markdown file was given like following, both commands are working for me. Try to confirm the current directory before running Marp (e.g. pwd).
/Users/yhatt/Documents/marp
└── deck
└── deck.md
$ pwd
/Users/yhatt/Documents/marp/deck
$ npx @marp-team/marp-cli deck.md --pdf -o deck.pdf
[ INFO ] Converting 1 markdown...
[ INFO ] deck.md => deck.pdf
$ pwd
/Users/yhatt/Documents/marp/deck
$ cd .. && npx @marp-team/marp-cli deck/deck.md --pdf -o deck/deck.pdf
[ INFO ] Converting 1 markdown...
[ INFO ] deck/deck.md => deck/deck.pdf
@yhatt I tried reproducing outside the repo I was working in and it works:
$ pwd
/Users/kevinsimper/projects/test/testmarp
$ ls deck
mydeck.md
$ cat deck/mydeck.md
# Hello World
$ npx @marp-team/marp-cli -v
@marp-team/marp-cli v4.2.0 (w/ @marp-team/marp-core v4.1.0)
$ node -v
v23.10.0
$ npx @marp-team/marp-cli deck/mydeck.md --pdf -o deck/mydeck.pdf
[ INFO ] Converting 1 markdown...
[ INFO ] deck/mydeck.md => deck/mydeck.pdf
$ cd deck
$ npx @marp-team/marp-cli mydeck.md --pdf -o mydeck.pdf
[ INFO ] Converting 1 markdown...
[ INFO ] mydeck.md => mydeck.pdf
So it has to be because I am running it inside a npm workspace, and there is a bug somewhere in a dependency.
# Inside npm workspace
$ npx @marp-team/marp-cli deck.md --pdf -o deck.pdf
[ WARN ] Not found processable Markdown file(s).
I will just continue with the deck/deck.md which works inside my npm workspace, I just wanted to highlight it if others were also experiencing this 💛
npx is historically an alias for npm exec, and it has the first-level support for npm workspaces since npm v7. When running Marp CLI via npx within npm workspaces, certainly process.cwd() seems to be bound to the workspace root.
According to the documentation of npm, you can add --workspaces=false option for npx to disable npm workspaces support explicitly. Now npx should run in the current working directory as you've expected.
https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/commands/npm-exec#workspaces
npx --workspaces=false @marp-team/marp-cli deck.md --pdf -o deck.pdf
I believe it was resolved by https://github.com/marp-team/marp-cli/issues/668#issuecomment-2992310951, but feel free to reopen if you still have met an issue. 😎
