Follow-up to #1916.

When a <style> tag fails to compile, the tailwindcss transformer falls back to the uncompiled CSS, but it did so silently. Errors that @tailwindcss/postcss doesn't log itself (like a PostCSS parse error further down the pipeline) left no trace, and the email just came out unstyled.

It now logs a warning with the style tag number, the template path, and the error:

[maizzle] Failed to compile <style> #1 in /path/to/emails/welcome.vue, it was left uncompiled: <css input>:825:19: Missed semicolon

Output is unchanged: the tag still falls back to the uncompiled CSS, nothing throws. tailwindComponent already throws on failure, so it's left as is.

New test: a failing second <style> warns once, with the path and error, and still falls back.

  • Bug Fixes
    • When a style tag fails to compile, the warning identifies its position and source file. The original CSS remains in the output as a fallback, preserving unresolved imports.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The transformer records each encountered style tag’s position. When compilation fails, it logs a warning with the tag position, template location, and error details. The decoded CSS fallback remains in place.

empty tags, and use that source position in the compile-failure warning instead
