Hot reload not working when Dioxus project is under a Cargo workspace

[ochrons]

Problem

I have a very simple test fullstack app that works just fine when it's a standalone project. However if I make it a part of a workspace, the hot-reloading functionality no longer works. Basically everything looks to be fine, but the hot_reload websocket gets immediately closed. The other disconnect websocket stays open. When the project is standalone, the hot_reload websocket stays open.

Steps To Reproduce

Reproducible repo at https://github.com/ochrons/dioxus-reload-bug

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

cd web
dx serve --hot-reload

launch browser at 127.0.0.1:8080
make a change in main.rs
see how it changes in the browser

If you check browser web dev tools, you can see that the hot_reload socket is in pending state and messages have been received.

then

cd packages/web
dx serve --hot-reload

launch browser at 127.0.0.1:8080
make a change in main.rs
nothing happens in the browser

If you check browser web dev tools, you can see that the hot_reload socket is not in pending state but has been closed.

Expected behavior

Both cases should work identically

Screenshots

If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Environment:

• Dioxus version: 0.5.0-alpha.0
• Rust version: 1.76
• OS info: Windows 11, WSL2
• App platform: fullstack

Further findings, excluding the packages/web from workspace makes hot-reload work again just fine

[workspace]
resolver = "2"
members = [
    
]
exclude = [
    "web",
    "packages/web"
]

Same thing if the top level Cargo.toml is renamed to something else.

So for some reason if dx finds that the project is indeed a member of a workspace, the hot-reload websocket gets closed early.

This problem also occurs if the packages/web project is excluded from the workspace, but it depends on a crate that is in a workspace e.g.

[dependencies]
data = { path = "../data" }

I can confirm that hot reloading is failing in a workspace. This is an obstacle to adding a Dioxus UI to a larger, existing project containing multiple crates.
