npm-to-yarn appears to fail when using 'npx' instead of 'npm'

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.

Prerequisites

• I'm using the latest version of Docusaurus.
• I have tried the npm run clear or yarn clear command.
• I have tried rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.json and re-installing packages.
• I have tried creating a repro with https://new.docusaurus.io.
• I have read the console error message carefully (if applicable).

Description

The problem is actively in the official docs here https://docusaurus.io/docs/installation#updating-your-docusaurus-version

On the line that says To check that the update occurred successfully, run:

The npm and yarn tabs are visible and usable, but clicking between them doesn't change the command below it.
This is likely an issue with the npm-to-yarn package being used, but perhaps this section could simply be re-worked to just avoid the issue entirely.

Reproducible demo

https://docusaurus.io/docs/installation#updating-your-docusaurus-version

Steps to reproduce

1. Visit https://docusaurus.io/docs/installation#updating-your-docusaurus-version

Expected behavior

Expected tabs between yarn and npm to work correctly.

Actual behavior

The codeblock underneath the tabs stays on 'npx'

Your environment

• n/a

Self-service

• I'd be willing to fix this bug myself.

It might be that https://github.com/nebrelbug/npm-to-yarn is being used as a dependency inside https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus/tree/main/packages/docusaurus-remark-plugin-npm2yarn.

The npm-to-yarn repo owner has their profile info stating the following...

"I'm currently serving a 2-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. During this time, I will not be working on any of my open-source projects."

@slorber indicated a possible fork in this unanswered discussion bgub/npm-to-yarn#21 (comment)

Yep—two issues:

1. This is a dependency we don't control. It's being forked in fix(npm2yarn): use forked npm-to-yarn; fix a few conversion bugs #6005 but no news yet;
2. Actually, there's no trivial replacement of npx in Yarn (especially in Yarn v1; see yarn equivalent of npx ? yarnpkg/yarn#3937). We are better off recommending npx to everyone—it works for both Yarn and npm!
