nodemon 2.0.2 package didn't work on windows 10

[mehul9595]

for some windows specific reason, nodemon v2.0.2 kept complaining for below error. Any idea what could be the problem how to fix?

I get the same error for nodemon latest package as well 2.0.3.

D:\Projects\AddressBook\server\node_modules\chokidar\index.js:904
const options = {type: EV_ALL, alwaysStat: true, lstat: true, ...opts};

I had a similar problem, I went around this by installing nodemon globally npm install -g nodemon and not using the dev script. to run this I simply used nodemon server.js instead of node server.js

I recommend you try WSL if you're on Windows. Read this article for how to do this: https://zellwk.com/blog/windows-wsl/
