Describe your issue

None of the classes defined in any of the *.tsx files are being processed in the output css.

I have spent more than a few hours trying different configurations in a private project, however I could not get any class names to appear in the output CSS in either dev or build modes. I even tried the @sources to manually include the files, custom tailwind.config.js to define "content" sources, but nothing I tried seemed to work. Even the NextJS playground does not work correctly.

I'm having a similar issue. Trying to get classes from a local lib included. Was doing so successfully w/ v3 doing the following:

/tailwind.config.ts

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  content: [
    ...
    "./node_modules/@diablo-systems/ui/dist/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx,md,mdx,cjs}",
  }
  ...
} 

File structure

node_modules/
  ...
  @diablo-systems/ui
    dist/
      ui.js
      ui.umd.cjs

Currently have for v4:

/globals.css

@import 'tailwindcss';
@source "../node_modules/@diablo-systems/ui";

Re @source, reference these docs

Your repo seems to be working for me at least. Snippet of output CSS:

…
@layer utilities {
  .p-2 {
    padding: calc(var(--spacing) * 2);
  }
  .font-bold {
    --tw-font-weight: var(--font-weight-bold);
    font-weight: var(--font-weight-bold);
  }
  .filter {
    filter: var(--tw-blur,) var(--tw-brightness,) var(--tw-contrast,) var(--tw-grayscale,) var(--tw-hue-rotate,) var(--tw-invert,) var(--tw-saturate,) var(--tw-sepia,) var(--tw-drop-shadow,);
  }
}

I'm also seeing no classes generated on v4. I was originally seeing this issue on the beta but it's on 4.0.0 now too.

Node v22.1.0 and v20.15.1
pnpm v9.15.4 and yarn 1.22.22
MacOS 15.3

It works if you specify a @source for every file in the project (without wildcards)

[wongjn]

Consider checking if you have any .gitignore files higher up the document tree.

[awndrw]

Good catch. I have a global .gitignore but it is ~4 directories above my current repo. Should WalkBuilder be restricted to .gitignores within the source directory?

[wongjn]

Perhaps!
