Pytailwindcss doesn't work with Docker

[W1mble]

Setting pytailwindcss in the requirements.txt file causes error after tailwindcss command is ran from bash inside the container.

Dockerfile:
COPY requirements.txt /tmp/pip-tmp/
RUN pip --disable-pip-version-check install -r /tmp/pip-tmp/requirements.txt &&
rm -rf /tmp/pip-tmp

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/tailwindcss", line 8, in
sys.exit(main())
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pytailwindcss/main.py", line 9, in main
completed_process = pytailwindcss.run(
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pytailwindcss/init.py", line 45, in run
install(version, bin_path)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pytailwindcss/init.py", line 69, in install
return install_binary(version, ensure_is_pathlib_path(bin_path))
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pytailwindcss/installation.py", line 25, in install_binary

If you build your container and run pip install pytailwindcss from the bash and run tailwindcss then it works. But not from the requirements.txt

Have you found a solution to that?

I'm running this with fastAPI and is running totally fine inside the docker container

`FROM tiangolo/uvicorn-gunicorn-fastapi:python3.10

WORKDIR /proj

COPY . .
COPY ./requirements.* .

RUN pip install --no-cache-dir --upgrade -r requirements.dev.txt`

The only problem is that even if i update the the code I have to see how to trigger the updates to the scream

After you run the install command in the Dockerfile, add the following:

RUN tailwindcss_install

This will install the binary in the container before the code is run.
