CSS problem

2 min read

Let’s try a different approach since the path changes didn’t help. Let’s verify the entire Tailwind setup from scratch:

  1. First, let’s check if the Tailwind CSS package is properly installed:
cd apps/admin && yarn list tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer | cat

I notice we have multiple versions of PostCSS installed (8.5.3 and 8.4.31). This could cause conflicts. Let’s fix this and reinstall the packages:

cd apps/admin && rm -rf node_modules .next package-lock.json yarn.lock && yarn add -D tailwindcss@latest postcss@latest autoprefixer@latest

Let me try that again with the correct path:

cd /home/nadeemramli/workspace/github.com/nadeemramli/cakerycan/apps/admin && rm -rf node_modules .next package-lock.json yarn.lock && yarn add -D tailwindcss@latest postcss@latest autoprefixer@latest

Now let’s create a fresh Tailwind config file:

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  content: [
    "./src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}

Let’s also create a minimal PostCSS config:

module.exports = {
  plugins: {
    tailwindcss: {},
    autoprefixer: {},
  },
}

And let’s update the globals.css with just the essential Tailwind directives:

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

Now let’s add a test component with some basic Tailwind classes to verify if it works:

export default function Test() {
  return (
    <div className="min-h-screen bg-blue-500 flex items-center justify-center">
      <div className="bg-white p-8 rounded-lg shadow-lg">
        <h1 className="text-2xl font-bold text-gray-800">Tailwind Test</h1>
        <p className="mt-4 text-gray-600">If you see this styled, Tailwind is working!</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

Now let’s update the page to use this test component:

import Test from './test';
 
export default function Home() {
  return <Test />;
}

Now please:

  1. Stop any running Next.js server
  2. Run these commands:
cd /home/nadeemramli/workspace/github.com/nadeemramli/cakerycan/apps/admin
rm -rf .next
yarn install
yarn dev

This is a minimal setup that should work. If this doesn’t work, we might have a more fundamental issue with the project setup. Please let me know if you see the blue background and white card on the homepage after running these commands. If it still doesn’t work, we’ll need to check:

  1. The Next.js configuration
  2. The package manager’s cache
  3. The Node.js version
  4. Any potential conflicts in the monorepo setup
