This log happens when we are traversing using the gitignore walker

This allows us to: 1. Only output the header once 2. Output a log from Oxide that will end up underneath the header

Is there a way to debug the scanner with Vite? This here seems to be for Tailwind CLI only? |

You are right. Apparently I missed something this morning, my bad. Thanks for the quick answer! 🙏 |

This PR improves the debugability of the scanner when using
DEBUG=*by writing to atailwindcss-{pid}.logfile in the current working directory.It will include all the tracing information from the scanner. This PR also introduces
Discovering {path}andReading {path}logs.Discovering {path}— this is logged when we are traversing the file system looking for files. We use theignorecrate, and log this information in thefilter_entrycallback. If a file was already ignored by.gitignorefiles, this won't show up, but it also means that we will not read it.Reading {path}— this is when we are actually reading the file so we can start extracting potential Tailwind CSS classes.These will give you some insights in what paths are being scanned, and if we get stuck, where we get stuck.
Also, we are appending to the file. In the log below, you can already see that a
tailwindcss-<number>.logfile exists already even though it didn't exist before running the command. This should make it easier to debug if we get stuck on a specific file/folder because the file will be populated with information.There are a few reasons for appending to a file:
@sourcedirectives, you could diff the outputs. (although, the timestamps will be different)DEBUG=*, a lot of other tools also output debug information, so writing to a file should make this better.Example log
We also output where we are writing the file to. This looks like this when using the CLI:
Last but not least, this also ignores
.logfiles by defaultTest plan
Ran the CLI (but you can use any tool real, since this is implemented in Oxide) with the
DEBUG=*flag.The file generated, looks like the example I shared above.
