Emotion styled not overiding component

I am making a site with next.js and @emotion/styled.

I have a card component as below.

import React from 'react';
import styled from '@emotion/styled';

    const Card: React.FC = (props) => {
      return (
          <Container>{props.children}</Container>
      );
    };
    export default Card;
    
    const Container = styled.div`
      padding:36px;
    `

and I want to override the style and add a border to it.

import Card from '@/components/atoms/products/Card'
import styled from '@emotion/styled';
const Test: React.FC = () =>{
  return(<BorderedCard/>)
}
export default Test


const BorderedCard = styled(Card)`
  height:300px:
  border: solid 1px #244C95;
`

I import the card component and override it. I expected the card component to have a border, but the style did not apply for the component. This method works everywhere else in the project, but not for this component.

I suspected that somehow this component cannot be found, and checked the ts config file.

  "include": [
    "next-env.d.ts",
    "src/**/*",
    "emotion.d.ts"
  ],

Then I tried to change the directories of the files, but no change.

Anyone know why this overriding style is not working?

Any help would be appreciated.

Your Card component needs to have a className prop and pass it to your Container component. It's a requirement for emotion styled function to work: https://emotion.sh/docs/styled#styling-any-component.

const Card: React.FC = (props) => {
      return (
          <Container className={props.className}>{props.children}</Container>
      );
};
