The goal is to guarantee that when a schema‑change script executed through nodemon’s --exec option fails, a user‑defined rollback script runs automatically to revert any partially applied changes, thereby providing a safety net for database migrations. Currently nodemon only restarts the Node.js process on file changes and does not wrap the --exec command in
In large-scale Node.js projects, managing the nodemon watcher scope is critical to prevent high CPU overhead and infinite restart loops. One common approach is to monitor the root directory while using the --ignore flag to filter out heavy directories like node_modules, build artifacts, or local logs. An alternative is to use the --watch flag to explicitly m
When using nodemon to monitor large project structures with a high volume of dependencies or assets, the process may encounter system-level limits regarding open file handles. This typically occurs when the native file watcher attempts to track more directories than the operating system allows. The goal is to maintain automatic restarts without exceeding the
I want to confirm whether nodemon’s --delay option coalesces multiple rapid file changes into a single process restart, or whether each change event can still trigger a separate restart. The --delay milliseconds flag postpones a restart after a file change so editors have time to finish writing. It is unclear whether edits that arrive while the delay timer i
Nodemon monitors file system events to automate application restarts upon file modifications. Documented behavior indicates inconsistent handling of symbolic links across file systems. When a watched path contains a symlink, changes to the target directory or file may not be observed if the symlink inode or metadata remains unchanged. This creates uncertaint
Nodemon vs Node.js Process: Duplicate Write Concerns Goal Determine how to configure Nodemon so that the Node.js application does not produce duplicate log entries when the process restarts immediately after a file change. Constraints Nodemon triggers a restart on every detected file event, and the underlying OS file‑watcher may emit multiple rapid events fo
nodemon --delay restart delay and termination signal handling Goal: Configure nodemon --delay to postpone restarts after file changes in a low-traffic development workload while keeping shutdown predictable when nodemon receives SIGTERM or SIGINT. Constraint: The documentation does not state whether the configured delay is honored if a termination signal arr
Watcher choice and restart timing I am configuring nodemon for a development workflow and need to understand one unresolved point before locking in our setup: since nodemon v1.0 switched its default file watcher from Node's native fs.watch to chokidar, restart timing and resource usage reportedly differ from the older implementation. The --legacy flag is doc
