Describe your issue

tailwindcss/nesting used with postcss-nesting breaks some postcss plugins. In this example vite config cssHasPseudo is not working. Also another plugin that is not working is postcss-mixins

import tailwindcss from 'tailwindcss'
import tailwindcssNesting from 'tailwindcss/nesting'
import autoprefixer from 'autoprefixer'
import postcssImport from 'postcss-import'
import postcssNesting from 'postcss-nesting'
import cssHasPseudo from 'css-has-pseudo'
import postcssCustomMedia from 'postcss-custom-media'

export default {
    css: {
        postcss: {
            plugins: [postcssImport, tailwindcssNesting(postcssNesting), postcssCustomMedia, cssHasPseudo, tailwindcss, autoprefixer]
        }
    }
}

Could you provide a reproduction? It would help to see the versions of the plugins you have installed along with the whole of the setup.

Here is a repro, hope it helps (text should turn red). All plugins are latest versions

with tailwind (doesn't work) - https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-fv2tnq?file=style.pcss&terminal=dev
without tailwind (works) - https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-vbidlr?file=style.pcss&terminal=dev

Just to follow up here — I tracked down the issue last week and we are working with PostCSS on a fix. Thanks!

postcss-inline-svg is also affected by this.
Mentioning in case someone else is looking to find the cause of their issue.

"postcss-mixins": "^9.0.2"
"tailwindcss": "^3.0.23"

The problem still exists.

A solution refers to https://giters.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/issues/3931

plugins: [
  {
    postcssPlugin: 'postcss-mixins',
    Once(root, { result }) {
      return require('postcss')([require('postcss-mixins')]).process(
        root,
        result.opts
      )
    }
  },
  require('tailwindcss/nesting'),
  require('tailwindcss'),
  require('autoprefixer')
]

It must to wrap postcss-mixins by Once, I think it is not elegant enough.

@JackieCheung The PR for this issue was merged on Feb 21. Tailwind v3.0.23 was released Feb 16.
It should be fixed in the next release.

The problem still exists in v3.0.24
