Builds file locally, but not when deployed to Netlify/Vercel

Hi Dafiul - thanks for the plug-in, seems to be a nice clean way to integrate Tailwind!

I've added it to my project, and while it builds the CSS file locally without issue, it just doesn't seem to output anything when I deploy it to Netlify or Vercel.

CLI output on local environment:

$ NODE_ENV=production eleventy
[Eleventy-Plugin-TailwindCSS] Using tailwind.config.js as Tailwind config file
[Eleventy-Plugin-TailwindCSS] Wrote dist/assets/css/styles.css from assets/css/styles.css
Writing dist/sitemap.xml from ./pages/sitemap.xml.njk.
Writing dist/404.html from ./pages/404.md.
Writing dist/index.html from ./pages/home.njk.
Writing dist/resume/index.html from ./pages/resume.md.
Copied 11 files / Wrote 4 files in 4.02 seconds (v0.11.1)
✨  Done in 6.50s.

Output from Netlify build log:

$ NODE_ENV=production eleventy
[Eleventy-Plugin-TailwindCSS] Using tailwind.config.js as Tailwind config file
Writing dist/sitemap.xml from ./pages/sitemap.xml.njk.
Writing dist/404.html from ./pages/404.md.

Writing dist/resume/index.html from ./pages/resume.md.
Copied 11 files / Wrote 4 files in 0.21 seconds (v0.11.1)
Done in 1.21s.

No errors, but just doesn't process the CSS file for some reason. Any ideas what the difference might be?

Can you give the code for me to reproduce?

Yes, this should do it: https://github.com/michaelroper/michael.roper.id.au/tree/tw-build-test

Looks like you added your CSS file to gitignore. As you can see here, the file assets/css/styles.css doesn't exist in the remote repository.

Oh wow, that's exactly it - how did I miss that!? Thanks for the fresh eyes!
