cli.rs misidentifies target out directory for Cargo workspaces #2614

Describe the bug

tauri build fails to detect that my src-tauri directory was part of a Cargo workspace. I realized the reason that function didn't work for me is because I use a glob to identify my workspace members, and Tauri CLI checks for exact matches. Directory structure that reproduces issue:

~/Documents/src-tauri-workspace/a-workspace (master)
$ tree -L 2
.
├── Cargo.lock
├── Cargo.toml
├── src
│   └── main.rs
├── src-tauri
│   ├── Cargo.toml
│   ├── icons
│   ├── rustfmt.toml
│   ├── src
│   └── tauri.conf.json
└── target
    ├── CACHEDIR.TAG
    ├── debug
    └── release

~/Documents/src-tauri-workspace/a-workspace (master)
$ cat Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "a-workspace"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2018"

[workspace]
members = ["src-tauri"]

[dependencies]

To Reproduce

  1. Clone https://github.com/kofigumbs/src-tauri-workspace
  2. cd a-workspace
  3. cargo tauri build
~/Documents/src-tauri-workspace/a-workspace (master)
$ cargo tauri build
   Compiling app v0.1.0 (/Users/kofi/Documents/src-tauri-workspace/a-workspace/src-tauri)
    Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 1m 20s
Error: failed to rename `/Users/kofi/Documents/src-tauri-workspace/a-workspace/src-tauri/target/release/a
pp` to `/Users/kofi/Documents/src-tauri-workspace/a-workspace/src-tauri/target/release/a-workspace`

Caused by:
    No such file or directory (os error 2)

Expected behavior

Tauri's target directory detection should always match that of cargo metadata:

~/Documents/src-tauri-workspace (master)
$ bash -c 'cd a-workspace && cargo metadata --format-version=1 | jq .target_directory'
"/Users/kofi/Documents/src-tauri-workspace/a-workspace/target"

~/Documents/src-tauri-workspace (master)
$ bash -c 'cd a-workspace/src-tauri && cargo metadata --format-version=1 | jq .target_directory'
"/Users/kofi/Documents/src-tauri-workspace/a-workspace/target"

Additional context

I was pretty curious, since there seems to be workspace-specific code in interface/rust.rs#get_target_dir. I'm able to workaround this issue by explicitly setting CARGO_TARGET_DIR. My 2 cents is that Tauri should call cargo metadata directly, which would ensure that it uses the same resolution mechanism as Cargo itself. I think that approach would also resolve #2515, since you could also use the error message that Cargo uses for the same problem. My reproduction repo has a few more example project layouts and their cargo metadata output: https://github.com/kofigumbs/src-tauri-workspace.
