I’ve solved the problem by not installing the latest nodemon version but the old one i.e. nodemon@2.0.7 Use npm install nodemon@2.0.7 -g (to install it globally) npm install nodemon@2.0.7 (to install it locally)

The issue is solved. Just use version 2.0.7 of nodemon.

this solution works for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9fIZViTNEA&ab_channel=TechTalkNetwork just follow what is on the video even if you don’t understand the language.

Can people following this thread test with npm i nodemon@debug and confirm if this works or not - this is the latest change with @immortalmind2016’s changes.

Works 100%. Tested it about 50 times, restarted all the time (Windows) with 2.0.14 and 2.0.14-alpha.1

Tested also 2.0.12 again and also 2.0.13 and run into problems.

@immortalmind2016 great, thanks for this fix!

@remy 2.0.14 is live @ latest since a few minutes. You could close this issue.

npm start

nodemon index.js

I’ve had this issue for quite some time and I encounter this everyday, I’ll be using this v of nodemon for the next 4 days and update what happens.

Let’s keep this open until the fix is actually live (for others with the same issue to prevent dupes).
