Nodemon not working in some paths, works in others
If nodemon
is not working in some paths but works in others, it could be due to the following reasons:
Path length limitation: The file path where you are running
nodemon
might be too long, exceeding the maximum path length limit on your operating system. On Windows, the maximum path length is 260 characters by default, and if your file path exceeds this limit,nodemon
may not function properly. Try shortening the file path or moving the files to a location with a shorter path.Permission issues: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to run
nodemon
in the specific directory where it is not working. Check the file and directory permissions to ensure that you have the appropriate read and execute permissions.Node.js module installation: Verify that you have installed
nodemon
correctly in your project. It's possible thatnodemon
is not installed or configured properly in the specific directory where it is not working. Try reinstallingnodemon
in the problematic directory usingnpm install nodemon
and check for any error messages during the installation.Configuration files: Check if there are any configuration files specific to
nodemon
(e.g.,nodemon.json
,nodemon.config.js
) in the working directory. Make sure that these configuration files are not causing conflicts or specifying different settings that preventnodemon
from working as expected.System environment variables: Verify that the system environment variables, such as the
PATH
variable, are correctly set to include the location of the Node.js andnodemon
executable. It's possible that the problematic directory has a different environment setup that causesnodemon
to fail.
By considering these factors and troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the issue and resolve the problem with nodemon
not working in specific paths.
