I setup a new Astro project with TailwindCSS, running the website from the dev server works fine, but when building the static site, it does not seem to include TailwindCSS in the final dist folder therefore making the website display in standard HTML.

package.json

{
  "name": "",
  "type": "module",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "astro dev",
    "build": "astro build",
    "preview": "astro preview",
    "astro": "astro"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@astrojs/check": "^0.9.5",
    "@tailwindcss/vite": "^4.1.17",
    "astro": "^5.15.4",
    "tailwindcss": "^4.1.17",
    "typescript": "^5.9.3"
  }
}⏎

astro.config.mjs

// @ts-check
import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import tailwindcss from "@tailwindcss/vite";

// https://astro.build/config
export default defineConfig({
  vite: {
    plugins: [tailwindcss()],
  },
});

I was able to generate a css file by using the --devOutput flag for the build command

I figured it out now. I didn't notice the css file and GitHub Pages wasn't picking it up properly

it's under `dist/_astro/[page-name].jibberish.css

I fixed it by setting up the Workflow properly
