CLI arg to point at Tauri project dir

[OJFord]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a main project dir with a [workspace] Cargo.toml, and a sub-directory which is one of the workspace members, and the Tauri project. I'm usually in the main dir, and can cargo build (all members including the Tauri project) from there, but if I want to cargo tauri dev I get:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Couldn't recognize the current folder as a Tauri project.', /.../tauri-cli-1.0.0-beta.7/src/helpers/app_paths.rs:29:

Describe the solution you'd like

1. Perhaps ideally, tauri-cli could run against any/all workspace members (iff $PWD is a workspace) that are detected as being tauri projects;
2. a global CLI argument that allows me to specify where the project is if not $PWD

Describe alternatives you've considered
I was using a package.json script (which included a call to tauri dev) which I could run as yarn --cwd=subdir dev. I decided I wanted to use build.rs and tauri.conf.json's beforeDevCommand as the entrypoints instead, but then found I couldn't do the same.

(Aside, I wouldn't suggest copying 'cwd' - perhaps it's meant to be 'change working directory' (though why not cd then 🤔 ) but I can't help but read it as 'current', which then just seems awkward and doesn't really make sense.)

possibly duplicate of #2752 and discussion at its PR #2765

Blimey that was fast. Indeed yes, pretty much, especially with your comment on its PR, sorry I didn't find that.

In my case though tauri --dir=subdir info would still be able to read package.json as normal, because I don't have an 'unusual structure' - I'm just trying to run tauri from a level up from where is.. 'usual' 😉.

i.e. in bash (cd subdir && tauri build/dev/info) would do what I need, a tauri-cli arg would just be more convenient. (Especially since I don't use bash, and this sent me down a rabbit hole opening a fish issue too 😄.)

would love to hear more of your suggestions over at the PR.
