nodemonConfig in package.json:

  "nodemonConfig": {
    "verbose": true,
    "env": {
      "env": "development",
      "DEBUG": "modern-express:*"
    },
    "exec": "npm run dev",
    "execMap": {
      "ts": "npm run dev"

    "ignore": [
      "build/compiled.js",

    ],
    "watch": [
      "server",
      "services",
      "app.ts"
    ]
  }

My npm scripts:

    "build": "webpack --config config/webpack.config.js",
    "start": "nodemon",
    "dev": "npm run build && node build/compiled.js",

Expected behaviour

Nodemon should restart the build and my application

Actual behaviour

Recognizes the file change but does not restart. When I enter rs it does what it should.

Steps to reproduce

I can make that repo public this evening if it helps.

[nodemon] exiting

[remy]

Acknowledging this bug. I've seen this [nodemon] matched rule: **/Users/heiko/Sites/ms-fileservice-ts/services/**/* be a problem in another issue - specifically the leading **/ part. Will try to ship a fix as part of today's releases.

[hkeio]

Unfortunately its not fixed completely. I added my project here: https://github.com/hkeio/fileservice
To reproduce clone and run npm i && npm start.

If you change something in app.ts it works fine. Changing something in service/file.service.ts does not. At startup it shows:

[nodemon] watching: /Users/heiko/Sites/ms-fileservice-ts/bin/**/* /Users/heiko/Sites/ms-fileservice-ts/classes/**/* /Users/heiko/Sites/ms-fileservice-ts/server/**/* /Users/heiko/Sites/ms-fileservice-ts/services/**/* app.ts

On changing the file it still shows the leading **/

[mcornella]

I'm not sure this is relevant but the verbose output clued me in that I needed to also watch .ts files. This is the verbose output:

[nodemon] watching extensions: js,json

So I added -e js,json,ts as an argument to nodemon and now changes in ts files immediately trigger a rebuild.
