Upgrading to Tailwind CSS 2.2.0 causes infinite loop when watching for changes

[dapunkt]

When I now 'npm run watch', i get an infinite loop, any idea what is changed?

Upgrading to Tailwind CSS 2.2.0 seems to be causing an infinite loop when running npx mix watch / npm run watch.

Not yet sure why this is yet.

Edit 1:
When the purge option is removed from tailwind.config.js the infinite loop stops.

FYI it is happening to me as well with a different theme/setup.

Thanks @danieledistanio. I've just created an issue at the Tailwind CSS repository. tailwindlabs/tailwindcss#4691

Adam replied, in my case the issue is having:

'./*.php'

in the purge list, removing that fixes it.

@danieledistanio Jep, that resolves it for me too. Moving to Tailwind CSS 2.2.0 we probably need to be more specific with our purge css options.

Fixed by a more specific purge configuration in TailPress 0.1.1..

In 1.0.0 you can put your template files (header.php, single.php etc.) in a subfolder which will allow you to use wildcards again and fixes this issue.
