[Bug?]: Generate command for Render deployment configuration doesn't work

[xndyz]

What's not working?

Try following the docs by running yarn rw setup deploy render, and it will prompt you to provide a workspace, and you'll get this error

rw setup deploy render <side>

Build, migrate, and serve command for
Render deploy

For more commands, options, and
examples, see Redwood CLI Reference
(​https://redwoodjs.com/docs/cli-comman
ds#deploy​)

Not enough non-option arguments: got 0, need at least 1

even after providing a workspace, it doesn't generate any render.yaml files.

How do we reproduce the bug?

Simply follow the docs for generating via yarn rw setup deploy render
