[BUG?] Downloading dependencies even though dependencies_bin is set

[steef435]

Describe the bug
Using the following packer setup:

  use {
    'chomosuke/typst-preview.nvim',
    tag = 'v1.*',
    config = function()
      require 'typst-preview'.setup {
        dependencies_bin = {
          ['tinymist'] = vim.fn.exepath('tinymist'),
          ['websocat'] = vim.fn.exepath('websocat'),
	}
      }
    end,
  }

The plugin still downloads tinymist and websocat (while both are installed globally). I've confirmed that vim.fn.exepath() gives the proper paths to the binaries.

Additional context
It could perhaps be a packer issue? I don't have time (to learn to) debug it currently, reporting in case others experience this as well.

Thank you for sharing this plugin!

Cannot reproduce on NixOS with lazy.nvim. What action causes the binaries to be installed? :TypstPreviewUpdate gives me:

Binary for 'tinymist' has been provided in config.                                            
Please ensure manually that it is up to date.                                                 
Binary for 'websocat' has been provided in config.                                            
Please ensure manually that it is up to date.

Thank you for the exepath idea though, I think this should be an example config in the documentation, as the dynamically linked binaries do not play nice with systems like NixOS.

I'm using lazy in my void setup. Same Issue. It downloads tinymist every time I open neovim.
When I run :TypstPreviewUpdate
it says all the dependencies are provided.

but it still downloads it.

I have this same issue on NixOS, I've set the paths manually:

require("typst-preview").setup({
  dependencies_bin = {
    ["tinymist"] = "/run/current-system/sw/bin/tinymist",
    ["websocat"] = "/run/current-system/sw/bin/websocat"  
  },
})

These are both installed:

> which tinymist
/run/current-system/sw/bin/tinymist

> which websocat
/run/current-system/sw/bin/websocat

Yet, whenever I open neovim I see Downloading tinymist <percent>% below the statusline until I have to press enter to continue and then I get All binaries required by typst-preview downloaded to /home/pete/.local/share/nvim/typst-preview, and sure enough, the binaries are there (despite me listing dependencies_bin).
