I get error on deserialize global.css

Android Bundling failed 6936ms packages/mmm/node_modules/expo-router/entry.js (1519 modules)
ERROR src/assets/styles/globals.css: failed to deserialize; expected an object-like struct named Specifier, found ()

I get this error just in monorepo

[foodornt]

just had it now and I'm in a monorepo too, pnpm+tuborepo setup, hoisting some modules:

public-hoist-pattern[]=*expo*
public-hoist-pattern[]=*react-native*
public-hoist-pattern[]=@tailwindcss/*
public-hoist-pattern[]=tailwindcss
public-hoist-pattern[]=postcss
public-hoist-pattern[]=nativewind

Wonder what could cause it...

global.css:

@import 'tailwindcss';
@import 'nativewind/theme';

duplicate of #1605

[Jackeish]

I am using Expo v54 and Expo Router. Follow the instructions in Expo's documentation about Tailwind（ https://docs.expo.dev/guides/tailwind/ ）It can be successfully accessed on the web.
I found that according to the nativewind guidelines（ https://www.nativewind.dev/v5/getting-started/installation ）When I try to compile for Android, it always shows a compilation error for the specified global CSS file. Later on, I discovered that converting CSS to a stylesheet using React Native CSS required the use of the LightningCSS package, but both Expo and React Native CSS were not actively dependent during installation. Finally, I found that the error occurred in react native css \ dist \ commonjs \ compiler \ compiler. js LINE 102: lightningcss, where the execution went wrong.
When I installed the lightningcss package, I found that on the window platform, it would direct to the lightningcss-win32-x64-msvc package, only to the. node file. I found that 'logger (Lightningcss second pass);' cannot be executed when debugging compiler. js.

#1622

I use Yran v4 and turborepo and still I get error I read the #1605 please help me

I fixed with this "resolutions": {

} in main package.json for yarn v4 and turborepo

For those using npm it's like this:

  "overrides": {
    "lightningcss": "1.30.1"
  }

Guys you need to add this as a note to the v5 Installation guide. Its very important for someone using npm and not pnpm
