Revert "fix: vite root directory not taken into account when set"

[ls-yannick]

I believe this PR was merged in error. The outDir and root options are 2 separate things in vite, one should not be used to compute the other.

This caused a bug in our build pipeline

• vite root is /Users/yannick/project/src
• outDir is /Users/yannick/project/dist

With this change, the cesium files are now generated in /Users/yannick/project/src/Users/yannick/project/dist/cesium. But both root and outDir options are correctly configured.

@jfayot it doesn't look like this plugin was using the root folder of the project at all before, so I don't understand how using a different root than the default would break this plugin. But if you can provide more details I'd be happy to look into it!

Hi @ls-yannick,
honestly, I don't use this plugin anymore as it doesn't handle @cesium/engine, and I don't remember the use case I was facing.
Sorry if this PR broke your pipeline, but it can be reverted if needed.
However, it looks like your root dir is an absolute path... If possible I would with a relative path.

[ls-yannick]

Thanks for the suggestion! According to the docs root can be an absolute path. I think if we used relative pathes for both root and outDir in our vite config we would not have the issue, but I don't remember why we use path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'). We might change that, but I think the plugin should handle absolute pathes anyway :)

Now you can also go with another plugin: vite-plugin-cesium-build from s3xyst3ak
It seems better maintained and he's an active contributor to the cesium project.
You also have my own plugin vite-plugin-cesium-engine but it only deals with @cesium/engine...

[ls-yannick]

Cool thanks, I might actually do that!

I have lost my job related to Cesium and haven't used Cesium for a long time. If you guys think it's okay, I will merge it. Thank you.
