manage.py tailwind start hangs

[kkinder]

I'm experimenting with django-tailwind, but finding that tailwind start tends to hang:

$ ./manage.py tailwind start

> djangotest@3.1.1 start
> npm run dev

> djangotest@3.1.1 dev
> cross-env NODE_ENV=development tailwindcss --postcss -i src/styles.css -o ../static/css/dist/styles.css -w

It never starts. ctrl+c quits fine, but it never seems to start the actual server. I am finding, however, that runserver works fine:

$ ./manage.py runserver
Watching for file changes with StatReloader

Django version 4.0.4, using settings 'DjangoTest.settings'
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

Anything I should try?

@kkinder it's not going to start any server. It starts the watch command and judging by your output

it's doing just fine. You need to run python manage.py runserver in a separate terminal to start actual Django server.
