nodemon stuck at restarting

[ghost]

• nodemon -v: 1.12.1 and 1.17.5 (I have tried nodemon@latest)
• node -v: 8.4.0
• npm -v: 5.0.3
• Operating system/terminal environment: Windows 10 using Node.js command prompt
• Command you ran: nodemon

Expected behaviour

When I save my sever.js file, it should console.log('test') again and the port it is listening at.

Actual behaviour

Steps to reproduce

Not sure how to reproduce it.

It is the exact same issue as: #813

I know this isn't a lot of information, but I don't know much and I'm hoping by creating this it will highlight if I'm not the only one with this issue. If you need anything else from me, please let me know.

First question: does it suddenly drop into a restart loop?

If so, can you include the output but run nodemon using the --verbose flag?

[AbdelrahmanHafez]

Hello, @remy I am somewhat active on GitHub, and have been facing the issue for quite a while now.
Let me know how I can help.

Yes, sometimes it suddenly drops into a restart loop, and when I used --verbose before, it restarted on every file being opened by Node require(...) function, I don't even open them in my text editor or anything.

Can't reproduce the bug now, using nodemon with --verbose, will post the results once it happens again.

EDIT:

This is how it looks on the first start:

as #1354 (comment)
try to run fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 1 from an elevated shell.

did it fix it?

[AbdelrahmanHafez]

Gave it a try, as an initial result, the bug was fixed.

I'll post here if the issue happens again.

EDIT :
3 days after, the bug hasn't still come back. #1354 (comment) probably solves it!

Hi all, it's been a long time but I found a solution to my problem at last.

If I run nodemon locally, it works fine, it only does this when I run it globally.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling globally, but no luck. No idea why this is the case, but we can close now.

[akuppili45]

@TFKED how did you install nodemon locally? I used npm install nodemon without the g, but when I tried to run it, my terminal said that it doesn't recognize nodemon as a command.

[ghost]

@AwesomeBanana123 it won't. You have to run it like this if running locally: ./node_modules/.bin/nodemon --watch server.js
