TailwindCSS output css file 424 lines

Question

I follow the Tailwind documentation about installing Tailwind using CLI but output.css file has only 424 lines whereas it should have thousands.

Answer 1

I ran into this same issue, here is how I fixed it.

When following the docs I was running the command npx tailwindcss build.... It turns out I should have been using the command npx tailwindcss-cli build.... When running the first command I get an output of 424 lines. When running the second I get an output of several thousand lines.

Answer 2

Ran into the same issue. Feels like they moved it from npx tailwindcss build... to npx tailwindcss-cli build... as @Leithen Crider mentioned above.

Fixed it by using this in my build script: "npx tailwindcss-cli build -i src/style.css -o public/output.css -w"
