Extractor issues with bsb -clean-world

[sync]

If i run a bsb clean before running build, bsb will remove the tailwind.css file and then when i run build it fail to compile saying the tailwind.css file is missing. At the end of this process (even with a build failure) the generator will generate the tailwind.css file. Next time i run bsb build it compiles properly.

Can you send me your bsconfig.json and/or send me a GH repo that I can use to reproduce? I might need to circle back on the generator logic, so it might be best to remove it for now.

So I did some investigation, and added the generator definition to the demo project. This seems to be an unavoidable issue with how the generator works --- I think your best bet is to separate our the clean and build/watch steps so you're not cleaning the project each time (if you're doing this already).

I'll close this for now, though maybe someone will have a better solution in the future, in which case I'll thread below.
