Nodemon not detecting file changes or restarting

[m8r1x]

Hi. I've seen a couple of related issues but I can't seem to find a solution in either one.

Any help would be appreciated. 🙂

Why did you raise a new issue instead of adding to the existing ones? Is this different in a specific way?

No not really. I didn't find any that was specific to windows 10 so I assumed that maybe I was doing something wrong. However if it's a duplicate you could close it. Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for the reply. 🙂

I'm pretty sure all those other issues use Windows (going by the paths included in the examples).

Could you point me to some, where I can find possible solutions?

For anyone reading this that has an issue with nodemon on linux (I'm using ubuntu 16.04) make sure you installed node correctly using nvm.

I had originally installed node using the directions from the official node website (I'm sure I messed something up, since I'm new to linux) so I had to remove node using:

$ sudo apt-get remove nodejs

Then I followed the instructions found on the nvm github.

Now nodemon works perfectly. The issue was my installation method originally. If you're on linux (and new like me) then give this a try.

It's a well known chokidar issue about directories with name including glob characters, like parenthesis.

Using the disableGlobbing option should solve the issue (https://github.com/browserify/watchify/pull/343).

A config option entry to add the disableGlobbing option into the chokidar config should solve this latent issue ...

Still doesn't work for me, I also use ubuntu and nvm and I installed it following the instructions of nvm and do not have a system nodejs installed

Facing the same issue on macOS

P.S. Node 6 (using NVM)
