Troubleshooting Tailwind CSS Width

—

### 1. **Verify Tailwind Configuration**
Ensure your Tailwind CSS configuration file (`tailwind.config.js`) includes the `width` utilities. A minimal configuration example is:

module.exports = {
  content: [
    './resources/**/*.blade.php',
    './resources/**/*.js',
    './resources/**/*.vue',
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
};

### 2. **Ensure Build Process is Running**
Tailwind CSS utilities like `w-2/5` require the build process (e.g., Vite, Webpack) to be running to compile the CSS. Run the following commands:
– For Vite:

npm run dev

– For Webpack:

npm run watch

### 3. **Check for Purge Settings**
Tailwind CSS might purge unused classes in production if they aren't referenced in your files. Add `w-2/5` explicitly to the `content` section of `tailwind.config.js` if it’s dynamically generated:

module.exports = {
  content: [
    './resources/**/*.blade.php',
    './resources/**/*.js',
    './resources/**/*.vue',
    './path/to/your/component/*.vue',
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
};

—

### 4. **Inspect Styles in Browser Developer Tools**
Right-click the element where `w-2/5` is applied and select **Inspect**. Look for:
– If the `w-2/5` class is present in the HTML.
– If the `w-2/5` CSS rule is loaded in the `styles.css` file.
– Conflicts with other styles that might override the width.

—

### 5. **Verify Tailwind CSS Version**
Ensure you're using a Tailwind CSS version that supports `w-2/5`. Run this to check the version:

npm list tailwindcss

Upgrade if necessary:

npm install tailwindcss@latest

—

### 6. **Check for Overriding Styles**
Custom CSS or other libraries may override Tailwind's `width` styles. For example, an inline `style` attribute or CSS file might conflict with `w-2/5`. Test by using `!w-2/5` to force the style:

<div class="!w-2/5"></div>

—

### 7. **Ensure Proper Parent Context**
The `w-2/5` class sets an element's width to 40% of its parent. Ensure the parent has a defined width, not `width: auto;`.

—

### 8. **Debug Classes**
To check if Tailwind is recognizing your classes, use the `@apply` directive in a CSS file:

.test-width {
  @apply w-2/5;
}

Apply the `test-width` class to the element and see if it works.
