Hello, I'm trying to set up a new rails project with rails new my_app --css tailwind && rails new my_app --css=tailwind but I keep getting an error

This same error also exists if I try to add tailwind-CSS manually using the steps specified in the documentation

I use a Windows 10 PC

The same thing is happening to me too and I'm using WSL Ubuntu on top of Windows10

This is a bug in how the Windows paths are generated and escaped by the shell. The space in the folder name is what is making the tailwindcss CLI confused.

Which version of tailwindcss-rails is being used? Because this should have be fixed in #176

[iliatalebzade]

the version I used was 3.1.8

[rafaelfranca]

Of tailwindcss-rails? There isn't a 3.1.8 version https://rubygems.org/gems/tailwindcss-rails

[iliatalebzade]

Please excuse the delay, I gave you my tailwind version. tailwindcss-rails version is: 2.0.12

I think the issue here might be the tailwindcss wrapper script isn't preserving the quotes ...

This bug existing is more evidence that we really do need integration test coverage for the rake tasks. I'm going to take some time today to do that, so that we have a failing test for this that we can fix.

Fix for this is up at #197
