Describe your issue

When running tailwindcss cli in a docker container, it isn't doing anything. Exits with code 0.

FROM node:current-bullseye
WORKDIR /App/BlazorApp
RUN ["npm", "install", "-g", "pnpm"]
ENTRYPOINT ["bash", "-c", "pnpm install && pnpm exec tailwindcss -i ./Styles/app.css -o ./wwwroot/app.css --watch"]

Isn't working with or without --watch. Isn't working with or without tty: true in compose.yaml (#5324).

If I run the same thing outside of Docker it works as expected.

[tsukinoko-kun]

I ensured that the tailwind config, package.json, input files (css, html, razor) are available and the container has write access.

@tsukinoko-kun maybe stdin_open: true along with tty: true will help for your case?

[thecrypticace]

You'll want to specify both stdin_open: true and tty: true in a docker compose file or you can run with the flags -t and -i. Our CLI exits when stdin is closed — this is a standard behavior for CLI tools. Alternatively, you can specify --watch=always which will not exit when stdin closes.

Here's an example compose file that works:

services:
  web:
    build: .
    tty: true
    stdin_open: true
    volumes:
      - type: bind
        source: ./app
        target: /App/BlazorApp

Or an example docker run command (assumes code is located at ./app in the current dir):

docker run -dti -v $(pwd)/app:/App/BlazorApp $(docker build -q .)
