For reference, the config to disable csso and just use lightningcss:
playformCompress({
CSS: { lightningcss: {}, csso: null },
})
csso
provides structural optimizations which lightningcss
doesn't.
Thanks for the reply! Is there a specific optimization you see that lightningcss doesn't do? I looked through all the documentation I could find and I don't see anything csso does better. When ran on my code, csso does make smaller css files, but that's only because it removes code it shouldn't be removing.
It looks like csso is just broken now and unlikely to get fixed. I don't understand why anyone would want to keep using it? Anyway, I've been able to disable it with the above config, so I'm all good.
This was a weird one to track down because there was no error, just missing CSS rules in the output. It turns out CSSO doesn't support newer CSS features and just silently drops them: https://github.com/css/csso/issues/474. Lightningcss does the right thing. Since CSSO seems to be generally abandoned anyway, should it be dropped in favor of lightningcss?
