nodemon filters styl file changes

Question

I had nodemon wathcing .styl files using the following settings in nodemon.json without any ignore rules:

"watch": [
  "src/css/*.styl",
  "src/css/includes/*.styl"
]

Any changes were supposed to trigger my build scripts defined in package.json.

However after editing a .styl file, nodemon seemed to have filtered the changes:

Express app running on 3001
[nodemon] files triggering change check: src/css/main.styl
[nodemon] matched rule: **/src/css/*.styl
[nodemon] changes after filters (before/after): 1/0

Any ideas about what went wrong?

add watching extensions in nodemon.json:

"ext": "js json css styl jade"

I was having the same issue for typescript files. This worked `{ "verbose": true, "watch": ["server/**/*.ts"], "ext": "ts js json", "ignore": ["server/**/*.spec.ts"], "exec": "ts-node index.ts" }` – Adrian Moisa Mar 11 '17 at 10:22

@AdrianMoisa Use `ts,js,json`. No spaces, but commas as delimiter. – Jeff Huijsmans Aug 08 '17 at 14:42
Was having this issue with a Next/React project and needed to add tsx to this – redcartel Jul 17 '23 at 17:36
