Hi @dev-Kevo

this TemplateDoesNotExist error looks to be a configuration issue on your end. The template tailwind/tags/css.html exists in the package but Django can't find it.

Please check these common causes:

1. Verify tailwind is in INSTALLED_APPS

# In your settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ... other apps
    'tailwind',  # Must be present
]

2. Ensure APP_DIRS is enabled

# In your settings.py
TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,  # Must be True for Django to find app templates
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                # ... your context processors
            ],
        },
    },
]

3. Check if the template exists in your virtual environment

Run this to verify the template is installed:

Activate your virtual environment first, then:

python -c "import tailwind; print(tailwind.__file__)"

Then check if this file exists:

Replace the path with the output from above command

ls -la /path/to/your/venv/lib/python3.x/site-packages/tailwind/templates/tailwind/tags/css.html

4. Verify package installation

pip list | grep django-tailwind

5. Test template loading directly

In Django shell: python manage.py shell

from django.template.loader import get_template
template = get_template('tailwind/tags/css.html') # Should not raise error

Most likely fix: Add 'tailwind' to your INSTALLED_APPS and ensure APP_DIRS: True in your TEMPLATES configuration.

Let me know if anything fixed the issue.
