vue project, adding vitepress, dev server issue

[kyartscouncil]

I have an established vite/vue project, with vuerouter, pinia, etc.

I am attempting to add vitepress to this project but I'm having difficulty establishing a working dev environment.

The vite server option has disappeared and now the vitepress server option is running. But my vite project is not showing, and the vitepress server is giving a 404 error and:
Component is missing template or render function. at <Layout> at <VitePressApp>

Am I creating an abomination that is forever doomed or is there a simple fix?
