Nodemon is not running

I am trying to get my nodemon to start running. But somehow it doesn't run and it have no error message and it's pretty frustrating.

Please see my package.json below:

{
  "name": "umbrella_maintenance",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "app-express.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "ejs": "^3.1.5",
    "express": "^4.17.1"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "nodemon": "^2.0.6"
  }
}

I tried running npm run start but it simply do not work. No error message no nothing. Screenshot of terminal

My app runs fine when I try to start with node app-express.js, but doesn't work when it's nodemon. Any advice?

Solution

  • The documentation says that you need to run nodemon like this nodemon [your node app]. So in your case: nodemon app-express.js. There are a variety of other useful options for nodemon. It's worth reading the documentation.
