dx serve from workspace?

[ThomasCartier]

Hi,

How would you run the dx serve command inside a workspace ?
I have a ws with different crates and a dioxus project is one of them.

So ideally, we should have a way to dx serve -p my package, running from the workspace root's directory.
Like we do cargo build -p my package from the root directory.

Maybe it exists already, but I am not sure how to activate it.

We don't have the -p shorthand, but you can pass --package

Thanks,

The result is still strange.
My workspace doesn't have a root, it's virtual.

From the workspace root, when I do:

cargo build --features web -Z unstable-options --artifact-dir target/debug/out/wasm -p myapp
cargo build --features server -Z unstable-options --artifact-dir target/debug/out -p myapp

it works flawlessly.

but doing
dx serve -- --package myapp leads to
Error: Cargo Error: no root package?

I don't want a root package for my workspace because the crates inside are siblings, but that's it.
It only serves as a compilation time saver.

I run v0.5.6 paired with a nightly toolchain (up to date).
So my current solution is not to use any workspace for my dioxus apps, because the cli generates a good bit of files (js, compression..) and I don't want to replicate this. But It would be nice if I could.

I have to pass -- --package because otherwise

error: unexpected argument '--package' found

  tip: to pass '--package' as a value, use '-- --package'

So maybe v0.5.6 didn't receive the updates to make it work I guess.

[ThomasCartier]

Same with 0.5.7

Really sorry to bump again, but could anyone run the dx build/serve command in a virtual workspace (no package section in the workspace manifest) ?

[ThomasCartier]

I think that I will retry when 0.6.* stable is out.
Just tried with cli 0.6.2 and the package option was accepted (great) but I had the same issue as the other user in the v0.6 megathread (index.html not found).

@ealmloff : Thanks for the -p option 👍
