I was trying to get tailwindcss working with Django and thought it's some compatibility problem.

With Laravel Mix

Updated with workaround

Head over to webpack-contrib/terser-webpack-plugin#66 for a workaround.

Simple run:
npm install terser@3.14.1 --save-dev
It solves my problem!

[Mspataro]

Is this a recent issue? The guide worked for me 2 weeks ago and my project still works. I noticed though when I tried to recreate my environment for a co-worker it kept failing because of this issue.

TomCosta's workaround solved my problem as well!

[SamuelNitsche]

Yeah, this issue occurred yesterday after a new release with breaking changes.

@Mspataro I was trying to get this to work for the last week and stumbled across the same error everytime when I tried to change something. The first time i got the error was at thursday I think.

I ran into the same issue today. TomCosta's workaround works.

Tom Costa is da man! Thanks!

Close in favor webpack-contrib/terser-webpack-plugin#66

[dawsonc623]

I realize this is closed, but it looks like we are stuck until Webpack updates its dependency on terser-webpack-plugin to 1.2.2. Is this happening soon?

Nothing to do on webpack side.
