Metronic v9.2 Tailwind v4 (html starter kit), problem generating styles.css
I bought and downloaded the latest version of Metronic to use the HTML starter kit, but I'm having problems generating the styles.css.
I did follow the installation instructions (https://keenthemes.com/metronic/tailwind/docs/getting-started/installation) succesfully, and `npm run build` finishes successfully:
npm run build
npm warn Unknown user config "always-auth". This will stop working in the next major version of npm.

webpack 5.99.9 compiled successfully in 1535 msWhen running the page the styles are not applied correctly, even I validated that the styles.css exist and that the <scrips> does load the file correcty.
IF I COPY THE styles.css FROM THE STARTER KIT dist/, TO THE dist/ folder generated when running npm run build, styles are fixed. I compared them, and they are a bit different. Why??

Hi Roger Almató
Here is the workaround. There is a bug; we will fix it.
The @source directive should point to the source KTUI files, not the dist folder. Update your src/css/styles.css:
/* Change this line: */
@source '../../dist/assets/vendors/ktui/';
/* To this: */
@source '../../node_modules/@keenthemes/ktui/';
Hello Thanks for the reply, something got fixed but still not the same. Based on what you mentioned, my src/css/styles.css is like:
<pre lang="html">
/* Tailwind core */
@import "tailwindcss";
/* Tailwind scan sources */
@source "../../node_modules/@keenthemes/ktui/";
/* Theme configs */
@import "./config.ktui.css";
/* KTUI styles */
@import "../../node_modules/@keenthemes/ktui/styles.css";
/* Metronic components */
@import "./components/index";
/* Demos */
@import "./demos/demo1.css";See how it currently looks:
<img src=" />
But if I copy the dist/assets/css/ folder from the one available in metronic-html-starter-kit:
<img src=" />
<img src=" />
<img src=" />
I have used the image tag but apparently not working, now the css are full screen but the left navigation bar its not well style, drawing left menu doesn't work either...
Any idea of what else is missing Faizal?
