Hard coded reference to `node_modules` from `docs`?

Bug report

Steps to reproduce

package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "SET NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider && vuepress dev ../../Articles/ --open",
    "build": "SET NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider && vuepress build ../../Articles/"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "markdown-it-abbr": "^1.0.4",
    "markdown-it-footnote": "^3.0.3",
    "markdown-it-plantuml": "^1.4.1",
    "markdown-it-sub": "^1.0.0",
    "markdown-it-sup": "^1.0.0",
    "markdown-it-textual-uml": "^0.12.0",
    "vuepress": "^1.9.2"
  }
}

config.js:

module.exports = {
...
  markdown: {
    extendMarkdown: md => {
      md.use(require('markdown-it-sub'))
      md.use(require('markdown-it-sup'))
      md.use(require('markdown-it-footnote'))
      md.use(require('markdown-it-abbr'))
      md.use(require('markdown-it-plantuml'))
      md.use(require('markdown-it-textual-uml'))
    }
  }
}

Executing npm run dev or npm run build thrown exception (workdir is C:\Users\~~~\Website-Generators\vuepress):

What is expected?

What is actually happening?

Project can not be build, throws an exception

Other relevant information

• Removing markdown: declaration from config.js can pass the build, but of course markdown is displayed incorrectly.

• Tried to copy whole node_modules folder to the same folder with Articles (root folder of Articles) - can be build. So, probably the issue is somewhere in VuePress and it is related to calculation the path for node_modules, possible hardcoded.

Shortly: VuePress are looking for a folder of node_modules for getting markdown extensions defined in config.js:. But instead of looking node_modules folder in working dir, VuePress is looking node_modules folder in docs\...\node_modules.
