Answer 1

instead of already theme insert your theme information after that deploy it.

bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy en_US --exclude-theme Magento/luma --no-html-minify

Answer 2

Experiencing same issue on Magento 2.3, all pub/static directory seems to be in order apart from a missing css directory and styles.css

Answer 3

This is the result of a compilation error in the css. Its failing and then something next in the chain is erroring because a css file is missing. This can be a pain to debug. Have you tried running static content deploy with show errors. Failing that dump php output to file.

php -d display_errors=1 bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

php -d bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy > output.log

• Dominic Pixie: Could be an inheritance problem. You might need to put empty styles-l.css in your theme.
• user76990: Thanks guys i have create empty css files which are notified as missing.
• Kowsigan Atsayam: Is this worked?
