Styles not loading properly.

[Jaydiah-dev]

Hello,

I'm trying to run tailwind(4.2.1) in a newly installed rails 8 app and the styles aren't rendering properly. I'm running it via the docker devcontainer that comes preinstalled with rails and it looks like some styles are applied while others aren't.

I have tried the following:

• the puma plugin option
• using the [always] flag with the css watch command, using foreman.
• added tty:true to the docker-compose config.
• added config.assets.debug = true to the development.rb file.

I generated the rails app with rails new myapp --skip-test --force --database=postgresql --devcontainer --css tailwind.

Below is a screenshot of a page in the app. When I try the same styles on the tailwind css playground, it renders correctly.

Any suggestions on what could be wrong?

Gem versions:

rails: 8.0.2
ruby: 3.3.0
tailwindcss-rails: 4.2.1
tailwindcss-ruby: 4.0.17

Thanks.
