Tailwindcss: Webpack plugin arguments[i].apply is not a function

[ruigomeseu]

I want to try out tailwind in a sideproject I'm building.

It's a Vue.js app using Webpack to transpile everything.

I followed the installation section instructions but I'm stuck with this error while running webpack:

/Users/ruigomes/Projects/Javascript/feedbeaver-frontend/node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js:345
            throw e;
            ^

My webpack.config.js file is: https://pastebin.com/recnnbDH

I might be missing something obvious but I can't for the life of me figure it out.

Thanks in advance!

I managed to get it running using the postcss.config.js file instead, as in the tailwindcss/webpack-starter repo. Maybe that could be in the docs?

Hey @ruigomeseu glad you got it sorted out! The docs do talk about that file, is there anything you think we should change?

[ruigomeseu]

Oh, I completely missed that, I just assumed it should go into the webpack config. My bad, it's super clear in the docs!

Thanks @adamwathan, I'm closing the issue.

Just as a side note, I pretty much hate doing any CSS work and with Tailwind I'm quite enjoying a redesign I'm doing in a sideproject, so kudos to you and the rest of the team!

Also just made the same mistake. Love the docs but that one part might be a little deceiving. Eventually solved it by studying the example here: https://github.com/tailwindcss/webpack-starter

Putting // postcss.config.js at the top of the code snippet would help a lot. I also overlooked that sentence. It looks very very much like a webpack config file...
