Hello,

I'm totally new to Dioxus and am playing around with dx new. I noticed when I choose the fullstack option and launch my desktop app with dx serve --platform desktop, the echo server function doesn't work. I get the error

16:37:40 [linux] thread 'main' panicked at src/components/echo.rs:18:65:
16:37:40 [linux] called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Request("error sending request for url (http://127.0.0.1:43405/api/echo_server9820224038553403100)")

followed by a long stack trace. dx says "ServerFns at: http://127.0.0.1:8080". Is this a problem with the port?

When I run dx run --platform desktop, the echo demo works fine. But now I miss hot reloading, of course.

Steps to reproduce:

• use Dioxus CLI 0.6.2
• dx new some_app, choose fullstack
• Run the app with dx serve --platform desktop
• Type something below "ServerFn Echo"
• -> App panics

Hey did you find any work around? and by the way are you using wsl?

For production builds you will always need to set the server url manually like the fullstack desktop example does here

Can confirm this happens on android as well and not just with a new project.

Also this: dioxus::fullstack::prelude::server_fn::client::set_server_url("http://127.0.0.1:8080"); didn't fix the issue for me.

It also didn't work for me with the real server URL.

A potential clue not sure it will help.... Old project with android and server functions still seems to be working and it seems to be independent of dioxus version being used.
