Python manage.py tailwind install seems to run in wrong directory
I installed Django-tailwind according to the documentation but am now facing an issue when trying to python manage.py tailwind install
.
The theme
app was created successfully and contains a package.json
file. npm
is found since i specified the NPM_BIN_PATH
. However, on running the install command i get an ENOENT
error no such file or directory, open 'C:\Windows\package.json
The Package is on \[...]\project\theme\static_src\package.json
It seems that node is looking for the package
outside of the project directory.
What do I have to change for the script to reference my project DIR? VS Code is executed as admin and the terminal is in the project directory.
I am on Windows 11 Home version 24H2, node v22.16.0 and npm 10.9.2
The error message:
npm error code ENOENT
npm error syscall open
npm error path C:\Windows\package.json
npm error errno -4058
npm error enoent Could not read package.json: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Windows\package.json'
npm error enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
