Hello @pi0, is there any misconfiguration in my setup?

[bask-digital]

Seeing the same thing using the new Nuxt4 directory structure and compatibility mode 4.

Any tailwind classes inside /layers are not compiled.

Hello, is there any misconfiguration in my setup?

Hey - I'll triage your issue; just remind me if I don't get back to you by Friday.

Hi @ineshbose , any update?

[ineshbose]

Thanks for the ping and sorry for the delay.

I see what is causing the issue.. the module is detecting base/assets/css/main.css that is importing tailwindcss so it is thinking that you are manually handling importing of tailwind (this happens over nuxt.config defu'd with layer config, but it also shouldn't be a problem..).

Give a minute, I'm trying to figure out what could be the fix here (we generate sources.css but the import doesn't seem to be working either)

Hi. I think, I have similar problem

This works for me:

tailwindcss: {
    cssPath: '~/assets/css/tailwind.css'
  },

Hi @dongnaebi , i tested this config on https://github.com/aminmokhtari94/nuxt-tailwind-bug-reproduce but not working, can describe how to do it?

I later found out that only part of it is usable, and now I’m also waiting for this issue to be resolved.

Also experienced this issue after upgrading from Nuxt 3 (w/ future compatabilityVersion defined) to Nuxt 4.

Explicitly defining the cssPath as @dongnaebi pointed out is a valid workaround.

In my case, seems like the default path value stopped working as expected https://tailwindcss.nuxtjs.org/getting-started/module-options#csspath
