Error: Cannot find module ‘tailwindcss/plugin’

I’ve just come across this new error whilst launching/deploying to fly.
When the deploy gets to the mix assets.deploy step, i get this error:

 => CACHED [builder 12/19] COPY assets assets                                                                                                    0.0s

I think I came across this a while ago but can’t remember how i resolved it…

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers :slight_smile:

I had this same issue and solved it by installing node in my Dockerfile for the builder step, and installing the packages right before the call to RUN mix assets.deploy:
RUN npm install --prefix assets/

It took me a while to figure this out since while I was getting the same error message of Error: Cannot find module 'tailwindcss/plugin', the package that I was actually missing was flowbite (that’s on me, I had added this package but had forgotten about it).
