Fresh project fails with missing tailwind dependency

[Schachte]

Describe the bug

Following the getting started page on the official vite docs:

yarn create vite video-validator --template react-ts
cd video-validator
yarn install
yarn dev

I'm greeted with an error:

[plugin:vite:css] [postcss] Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'config')
/Users/person/Documents/video-validator/src/App.css

This is without me doing anything.

❯ node --version
v21.1.0

Might be nice to prioritize merging this change.

tl;dr

vite.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react()],
  css: {
    postcss: {},
  },
});
