This command will open the WebView in development mode. It makes use of the build.devPath property from your src-tauri/tauri.conf.json file.

If you have entered a command to the build.beforeDevCommand property, this one will be executed before the dev command.

See more about the configuration.

Troubleshooting

If you're not using build.beforeDevCommand, make sure your build.devPath is correct and, if using a development server, that it's started before using this command.

build​

yarn tauri build

USAGE:
    cargo-tauri build [OPTIONS] [--] [ARGS]...

ARGS:
    <ARGS>...
            Command line arguments passed to the runner

OPTIONS:
    -b, --bundles <BUNDLES>...
            Space or comma separated list of bundles to package.
            
            Each bundle must be one of `deb`, `appimage`, `msi`, `app` or `dmg` on MacOS and
            `updater` on all platforms. If `none` is specified, the bundler will be skipped.
            
            Note that the `updater` bundle is not automatically added so you must specify it if the
            updater is enabled.

    -c, --config <CONFIG>
            JSON string or path to JSON file to merge with tauri.conf.json

    -d, --debug
            Builds with the debug flag

    -f, --features <FEATURES>...
            Space or comma separated list of features to activate

    -h, --help
            Print help information

    -r, --runner <RUNNER>
            Binary to use to build the application, defaults to `cargo`

    -t, --target <TARGET>
            Target triple to build against.
            
            It must be one of the values outputted by `$rustc --print target-list` or
            `universal-apple-darwin` for an universal macOS application.
            
            Note that compiling an universal macOS application requires both `aarch64-apple-darwin`
            and `x86_64-apple-darwin` targets to be installed.

    -v, --verbose
            Enables verbose logging

    -V, --version
            Print version information

This command will bundle your application, either in production mode or debug mode if you used the --debug flag. It makes use of the build.distDir property from your src-tauri/tauri.conf.json file.

If you have entered a command to the build.beforeBuildCommand property, this one will be executed before the build command.

See more about the configuration.
