[Bug report] Can't use relative path for local theme

[bcorcoran]

I'm trying to create a Vuepress next site and running into a roadblock.

I can only specify a path to the local theme (<repo>/.vuepress/theme) by using an absolute path... this poses a problem because the path to the theme is different on my machine than another developer's.

Why doesn't this work in .vuepress/config.js?

module.exports = {
     theme: '.vuepress/theme',
}

or

module.exports = {
     theme: './theme',
}

[meteorlxy]

path.resolve(__dirname, '....')

Ok, so for anyone looking for the same thing:

in .vuepress/config.js

var path = require('path')

module.exports = {
  theme: path.resolve(__dirname, 'theme'),
}

This should be documented as the default way to include a local theme. Absolute paths don't make sense in... any scenario I can think of.
