How do I get nodemon to run a complex command that is wrapped in quotations?

Here's the situation

nodemon ./app

works great.

nodemon "./app"

does not.

This results in nodemon constantly starting and restarting without ever actually running ./app. Why is this a relevant you may ask? Consider the following.

webpack-dev-server --config webpack/webpack.config.js

I want to run the above with nodemon but webpack-dev-server and nodemon both use the --config flag. This means that I have to place the above command in quotations resulting in the following.

nodemon "webpack-dev-server --config webpack/webpack.config.js"

which dunt work. Any pointers?

Solution

  • You can use 

    nodemon webpack-dev-server -- --config webpack/webpack.config.js
