Consider checking you've followed the integration steps for Vite. Namely, check:

• You've installed the neccessary node packages:

  $ npm install tailwindcss @tailwindcss/vite
  

• You've added the @tailwindcss/vite Vite plugin to the Vite configuration correctly:

  import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
  import tailwindcss from '@tailwindcss/vite';
  
  export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
      tailwindcss(),
    ],
  });

Consider providing a git repo that reproduces the unexpected behavior so that I can get a closer look.

Hello,

Verify Tailwind CSS installation

Open your terminal and run:

npm list tailwindcss

If it is installed, it will show the version. In case the version is outdated, upgrade Tailwind CSS from v3 to v4. The upgrade tool requires Node.js 20 or higher, so ensure your environment is updated before running it.
And then run:

npx @tailwindcss/upgrade
