How to handle Tauri sidecars and allowing externalBin to be called ?

[jrouaix]

Hello,

Do you have any working example where :

• one or more executable are embed in the Tauri bundle
• and are called successfully when the app is installed as .AppImage or .deb

So far I only got file not found or permission denied. While the executing the dx serve --hot-reload --platform desktop, the have the right sidecar tool called.

The stuff was already hard to configure in Tauri, yet it seems worst with Dioxus ...
more information from here :

• https://tauri.app/v1/guides/building/sidecar/
• https://tauri.app/v1/api/config/#platform-specific-configuration

Hoho ... so .... the Dioxus.toml deserialisation is typo tolerant 🤦🏼‍♂️

So my misspelled externalBin configuration was just silently ignored (I had to do external_bin).

Perhaps Dioxus users would enjoy a strictier toml deserialisation setting ? (so they don't lose hours like myself)

What do you think ?

Ignoring extra fields comes from the toml crate. I agree there should be a setting to turn this off (or even make it more strict by default), but I'm not sure if that crate allow more strict deserialization
