Setup Tailwid in JetBrains IDE is missing vital info

[kwiat1990]

I wanted to setup Tailwind using CLI in my project but after following steps from the starter kit I encountered issues:

postcss-import: <path-to-tailwindcss>tailwindcss:105:78: Unclosed bracket

The language server is trying to parse the standalone CLI binary as CSS. When it resolves @import "tailwindcss" in tailwind.css, it finds the tailwindcss binary file sitting in the project root before it finds node_modules/tailwindcss. Pretty wild error. After renaming the binary to something else than tailwindcss it does indeed work correctly.

Also I found confusing the part that Tailwind has to be installed via npm in the project in order the Tailwind LSP to work. It wasn't clear at first to me that is necessary but a look at .gitignore helped me re-consider.

What kind of language server is that? Is there a Tailwind language server? Seems to me their CLI isn’t fully supported everywhere.

It's the standard @tailwindcss/language-server.

Hmm, I guess we could rename it to tailwind-cli or something by default, that solves the first problem.

The second problem, sounds like something that should be filed as an issue with the language server?
