The postcss cli never stops. I have to manually control + c to stop it. The file is correctly generated tho after a few ms.

If I use the cross-env and pass in the production flag, it does correctly stop.

postcss.config.js:

module.exports = {
  plugins: {
    '@tailwindcss/jit': {},
    'autoprefixer': {},
  },
}

script to execute it:

{
  "tw": "postcss ./resources/css/widget.css -o ./public/widget.css"
}

> XXXX@1.0.0 tw
> postcss ./resources/css/widget.css -o ./public/widget.css

(it never stops, file is correctly generated tho)

Hey! Make sure you set the TAILWIND_MODE=build env variable if you are doing a development build without a watcher.

From the README:

Make sure you set NODE_ENV=development if you are running a watcher, or Tailwind won't watch your template files for changes. Set NODE_ENV=production for one-off builds.

If you want to control whether Tailwind watches files or not more explicitly, set TAILWIND_MODE=watch or TAILWIND_MODE=build to override the default NODE_ENV-based behavior.

For example if you want to do one-off builds with NODE_ENV=development, explicitly set TAILWIND_MODE=build so that Tailwind knows you are just doing a one-off build and doesn't hang.

Thank you for the answer. I had been working too much hours and didn’t spot that, sorry for the inconvenience.
