deprecation Running tailwindcss without -i, please provide an input file?

Question

I am trying to run css tailwind on my device and it works. But it shows me every time I create a tailwind CSS file.

[deprecation] Running tailwindcss without -i, please provide an input file.

I do not understand why?

You have to include the -i option and path to that file when building your CSS, Please check this doc tailwindcss.com/docs/installation#using-a-custom-css-file — JsWizard

With -cli@latest it should work just fine.

npx tailwindcss-cli@latest build css/tailwind.css -o build/main.css

The 'build' command has been replaced with '-i' as in this code.

"build-css": "npx tailwindcss-cli -i src/style.css -o style.css"

I tried it and it worked for me

@tailwind base;

@layer components {
  .btn {

}

/* terminal */
