Seperate folders for rust and javascript

[BigfootN]

Hello,

I would like to know if it would be possible to have (for example) the ui folder (containing all the web / javascript / front) and the backend folder (containing the tauri.conf.json) all the rust / tauri project code.

So the ui and backend would be at the same level:

|
| - ui
|    | - package.json
|    | - ...
| - backend
|    | - tauri.conf.json
|    | - ...

I tried to add (when trying to run the dev script) -c <path to tauri.conf.json> but it said:

thread '<unnamed>' panicked at crates/tauri-cli/src/helpers/app_paths.rs:136:5:
Couldn't recognize the current folder as a Tauri project. It must contain a tauri.conf.json, tauri.conf.json5 or Tauri.toml file in any subfolder.
note: run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace
error Command failed with signal "SIGABRT".

Thank you very much in advance for any help

This works but you probably have to start the tauri cli in the parent directory (the one that contains the ui and backend folders) or have change the cwd in your dev script. -c specifies a merge config, not the path to the main config (so it's not like cargo's --manifest-path for example)

Sorry for the late response.

It helped me a lot.

Thank you for indicating that as of today tauri doesn't "support" this kind of architecture / structure.
