Unsure if I use processes correctly

[dmarcoux]

Hello,

I have a project in which I want to run TailwindCSS CLI to watch for changes in styles. Here's an example of how I do this with a process in my devenv.nix file:

  processes = {
    # TailwindCSS watches for changes in styles and regenerates the CSS as needed
    tailwindcss = {
      exec = "${pkgs.tailwindcss}/bin/tailwindcss --config tailwind.config.js --input static/styles/main.css --output static/css/main.css --watch";
      process-compose = {
        # Set working directory
        working_dir = "src/sports_tracker";
      };
    };
  };

For some unknown reason, the process starts, then it is marked as completed with the exit code being 0. Nothing is shown in the process logs. What I would expect is TailwindCSS to keep on watching for changes. If I run the command in my shell, it works as expected.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thank you for your help and devenv!

@dmarcoux, try adding process-compose.is_tty = true; to the process.

Thank you @sandydoo for the quick reply. This works now.

Have a good day!
