Convex in a monorepo package

I want to install convex as a package in my monorepo under packages/convex but when i run

bun convex dev

bun convex dev

it creates a subfolder called convex. Is there a way o have it create files in my current directory if I am in packages/convex?

When I add

"functions": "/",

"functions": "/",

and run

bun convex dev

bun convex dev

I get these errors but when I remove

"functions": "/",

"functions": "/",

everything works perfectly fine.

So if there is a way to fix that great but I have just compromised and set it to

"functions": "/",

"functions": "/",

so I am doing good.

In my monorepo, I went with packages/backend and then running npx convex dev in that folder created packages/backend/convex. This worked for me as I need to have more shared stuff in that package than just Convex. I first thought that I'd have one package for Convex and one for the other stuff, but combining them into the one backend package has worked out fine.
