Standalone CLI watch not working in the Docker dev container, but works (albeit with some quirks) on Windows

[gremo]

Tailwind CSS CLI v4.1.7 Windows 11 x64 seems to work "fine". Editing templates/test/index.html.twig:

1. Add text-2xl, the class is added to the output ✅
2. Change the class to font-bold, the class is added but previous text-2xl isn't removed 🛑

This is intended behavior — like a kind of history or cache — where previously 'seen' classes are never removed?

The main issue I'm facing — however — is running Tailwind CSS CLI in a Docker container Debian 12 (bookworm) x86_64: isn't working at all, no class is added to the output:

Node v22.16.0, very basic CSS file:

// assets/styles/app.css
@import 'tailwindcss' source("../../templates");

Having the same issue. adding --poll seems to work for some people. Some report running the container with --tty helped.

EDIT: Less convenient, but you could also run the CLI outside your container

@bjoernhommel --pull isn't available for v4 (only works in v3, option was removed due to the fact that now it rely on watchman).
