I have the following code structure:

--src
----config
------env
--------development.env
--------index.js

Here's my nodemon.json file:

{
    "watch": ["src"],
    "events": {
        "start": "cls || clear"
    }
}

It works when I make a change to index.js file, but when a change made in development.env nodemon doesn't get restarted.

I tried the following to make it works but no success:

"watch": ["src", "src/config/env/development.env"]

check ignore flag in `nodemon.json` or `ignore` key in `nodemonConfig` in package.json – Daniel Sep 20 '20 at 15:30

Have you tried using the `--ext` [option](https://stackoverflow.com/a/44739752/7700187)/[property](https://github.com/remy/nodemon/blob/master/doc/sample-nodemon.md)? – James T Sep 20 '20 at 15:32
@Daniel I don't have `nodemonConfig`property in my **package.json** – Ayoub k Sep 20 '20 at 15:34

@JamesT thanks, `ext: "*"` works – Ayoub k Sep 20 '20 at 15:44
