docmaker fails to correctly reset current directory after loading data files #31

Description

@raqbit

Describe the bug

When processing data files, Docmaker tries to change the working directory to the project directory. This is done to allow dynamic (js) data files to be able to simply open files (fs.readFile etc.) relative to the project directory.

https://github.com/BlameButton/docmaker/blob/8516b9161278e85c053fd81c10b2f1c5c7428f32/src/data.ts#L45-L46

After processing all data files Docmaker tries to reset the path back to its original setting, but it appears getCwd() does not return a full path but a relative path (e.g. foo instead of /home/<user>/Documents/foo) which makes the call to chdir fail.

https://github.com/BlameButton/docmaker/blob/8516b9161278e85c053fd81c10b2f1c5c7428f32/src/data.ts#L52

✖  error     Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, chdir '/path/to/foo' -> 'foo' 

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run docmaker with the configuration below
  2. See error

Expected behavior

It should correctly reset the current directory after loading all data files.
