I am new to node.js. node is working fine but when I installed the nodemon package, it gives an error: exception in nodemon killing node

Answer 1

Help spawn to locate your nodemon.cmd like this:

var nodemonCmd = (process.platform == 'win32') ? 'node_modules\\.bin\\nodemon.cmd' : 'nodemon'
myApp = spawn(nodemonCmd, ['build/server.bundle']);

Hope it works :)

Answer 2

Possible solutions.

1. Permissions

Problem maybe in your file permissions. Execute in git bash or from windows way of giving full permission to the project folder.

$ chmod -R 777 [folder] 

2. Environment Variables

Missing "C:\Windows\System32\" in the PATH.

3. Reinstall

Completely remove nodemon using npm and try reinstalling.

npm uninstall -g nodemon

4. Update nodejs

If you have and old version of nodejs, try updating it. I prefer completely removing nodejs and reinstalling it again.
