Cannot run template `workspace` with option `fullstack` using `dx new`

[Arpadzein]

Problem

dx new with template workspace with option fullstack creates a broken project on the latest commit in main (at the time of writing commit e1bd06bda568753fe180746c0ab137b99e2c38c4)

Steps To Reproduce

• I build dioxus-cli from source in release mode (cargo build -p dioxus-cli --release)
• I run the cli to create a new project (./dioxus/target/release/dx new dioxus_dx_test)
• I select "Workspace", true, true (3rd option seem have no effect on result)
• I try to run the project (cd dioxus_dx_test; ../dioxus/target/release/dx serve --package web --platform web)

-> It compiles fine
-> but when I open localhost:8080 in any browser, I get a console error (see in logs section)

Additional Information/Context

I have not tested on every dx new template, but every other template i tested seemed to work fine. workspace with fullstack: false works as far as I can tell, as well as jumpstart with fullstack: true

Expected behavior

dx new should produce runnable projects

Environment:

• Dioxus version: main (at the time of writing, commit e1bd06bda568753fe180746c0ab137b99e2c38c4
• Rust version: nighthly
• OS info: Arcolinux, kernel 6.14.7-zen2-1-zen
• App platform: web

Questionnaire

I'm interested in fixing this myself but don't know where to start.

Ran with dx serve --package web --platform web

The bare bones and jumpstart templates with fullstack work fine.

[tv42]

Same here, workspace example package web fails, but jumpstart for web platform works.

[Vytautas-Zygaitis]

Can it be as simple as adding fullstack feature to the packages/web/Cargo.toml Dioxus dependency?

Goes from Platform: Web to Platform: Web + fullstack

Yes, I think that it is exacly what @ealmloff did in the PR DioxusLabs/dioxus-template#79 he opened on the dioxus template repository
