I'm following the documentation for setting up Tailwind in a React project over on https://tailwindcss.com/docs/guides/create-react-app. I've been following the steps, but when I get to the part where I'm supposed to run npx tailwindcss init
in order to generate a tailwind.config.js
file, I get the following error:
Cannot find module 'autoprefixer'
Require stack:
- C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_npx\16096\node_modules\tailwindcss\lib\cli\commands\build.js
- C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_npx\16096\node_modules\tailwindcss\lib\cli\commands\index.js
- C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_npx\16096\node_modules\tailwindcss\lib\cli\main.js
- C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_npx\16096\node_modules\tailwindcss\lib\cli.js
I've checked that I have autoprefixer
in my node_modules
folder and tried reinstalling it, but I get the same error. In my package.json
, I have the following:
...
"scripts": {
"start": "craco start",
"build": "craco build",
"test": "craco test",
"eject": "react-scripts eject"
},
...
as per the documentation. My craco.config.js
file is as follows:
module.exports = {
style: {
postcss: {
plugins: [
require('tailwindcss'),
require('autoprefixer'),
],
},
},
}
again, as per the documentation. I've also tried reinstalling the @craco/craco
package to no avail, so at this point I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.
Can you try this:
npm uninstall tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer
npm install tailwindcss@latest postcss@latest autoprefixer@latest
npx tailwindcss init -p
npm uninstall tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer
npm install tailwindcss@npm:@tailwindcss/postcss7-compat postcss@^7 autoprefixer@^9
here: https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/issues/2831
I have faced same problem.
at first I faced “Cannot find module 'autoprefixer'” error during setup.
than I tried "yarn" instead of "npm".
rest of process will be remain same.
it works now.
