tailwind css showing warnings about generated css file missing styles

Question

This is my first time installing and running tailwind CSS. I follow the instructions and did everything accordingly but then it started showing some warnings like below

Can you tell me why I am getting these warnings and anyway for me to fix them? As I am worried that my generated CSS will be missing styles So help is needed to fix it

Also, can I keep the tailwind CSS in watch mode? Please give me the command line or video or explain to me the way to fix it? Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Make sure you don't have repeated properties in your Tailwind config file. After upgrading from v2 to v3, Accidently I had put two content properties. Other than that make sure you have done migration properly.

Answer 2

This warning occurred because you did not use any of the tailwind classes, causing tailwind to suspect that the project config was not implemented correctly.

Answer 3

It's look like you dont have the tailwind config file. Take a look in your root folder if you have. If not you can create one by this command: npx tailwindcss init

Then the tailwind cli will create the tailwind.config.js file. It looks like:

module.exports = {
  content: ["./src/**/*.{html,js}"],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}

Answer 4

If anyone ever encounters this error, I realized that I had both a tailwind.config.js and tailwind.config.ts in my repository at root level (I had forgotten to delete tailwind.config.js).

Deleting the redundant tailwind.config.js fixed it.
