Generating tailwind.config.js does not work under macOS

[lovetodream]

As mentioned in the title, generating the tailwind.config.js (full and minimal) does not work under macOS (Big Sur).
Made a fresh vue project and tried to install tailwind via vue add tailwind.

If I create a tailwind.config.js file first, it asks me to replace it. If I agree, it deletes the current tailwind.config.js, but afterwards I get the same error.

Doesn't work on Windows either.

Same issue here ... on a Mac

I've made a pull request. The problem is that, if tailwind is not already a installed dependency, the plugin can't generate the tailwind.config.js. As a workaround you need to install it first npm install tailwindcss before vue add tailwind.
If this is intended it should be mentioned in the README.

tailwindcss should get installed automatically because it is a dependency of this plugin.
In a fresh vue project after only running vue add tailwind can you check if the folder ./node_modules/tailwindcss and the file ./node_modules/.bin/tailwind exists? If not are those maybe nested inside ./node_modules/vue-cli-plugin-tailwind/node_modules?

Also, what version of node and vue-cli are you running?

I updated vue-cli (now 4.5.9) earlier today.
I can confirm that it works with this version of vue-cli, in my case at least.
I think it was a problem with the version of vue-cli I had installed before.

I am having the same issue even though the version that I am using is also @vue/cli 4.5.9
