Bug report

Steps to reproduce

1. Edit composer.json as follows:

{
  "dependencies": {
     "vuepress": "^1.0.0-rc.1"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "docs:dev": "vuepress dev",
    "docs:build": "vuepress build"
  }
}

1. Run yarn docs:build

What is expected?

Build to run and create appropriate files in .vuepress/dist

What is actually happening?

Build begins but throws permission denied error after the Apply plugin section.

Other relevant information

• [x] My VuePress version is higher than 1.0.0-alpha.47, the following is the output of npx vuepress info in my VuePress project:
  

Note: Running yarn docs:dev works properly.

try sudo yarn docs:build?

try sudo yarn docs:build?

No. Do not run it with sudo!

It tried to delete your entire /var directory, which would break your entire system. You don't want to force it to do that.

Sorry, I meant to update this.

It has been resolved. I ended up putting my docs in the /docs folder and it worked. shrug

Thanks for the work on vuepress. I do love working with it!
