Some folks have reported an issue with compatibility between io.js and nodemon. Might be worth the nodemon maintainers spinning up an install of io.js just to check. It might be easier for you to find the issue since you understand your own app architecture:

Are you using the execMap for io.js or letting nodemon use the node alias to io.js?

I am using exeMap, but it did't help :

{
  "verbose": true,
  "execMap": {
    "js": "iojs"
  }
}

Okay, cool, I'll give this another try (I thought I tested it and it worked
tho).

Can you also share what OS you're running with any extra details?

Sorry, forgot to mention. Using OS X 10.9.5 and nodemon is installed as global.
If you want some verbose_messages I can send, but I can't see anything suspicious there...

I'm on Mac OS X 10.9.5 also, and it's working fine for me:

screen shot 2015-01-19 at 19 33 41

I'm using a ~/nodemon.json that looks like this:

{
  "execMap": {
    "js": "iojs"
  }
}

Anyone able to dig a little deeper to work this out with me?

Note that my install process for io.js was:

  1. Install node.js (many months ago).
  2. Install io.js (last week) - noticed that now node on the command line was aliased to iojs, so -
  3. Re-install node, and now I can use node as node and iojs as io.js

I suspect others don't have the step 3, which might be hiding some issue...

Nodemon get it's output fine, but console.log inside my main.js script is not visible. I have Express-application; haven't tried with pure node. I will do it this evening.

With nodemon :

Esan-iMac:iris$nodemon main.js
19 Jan 21:57:13 - [nodemon] v1.2.1
19 Jan 21:57:13 - [nodemon] reading config /Users/esa/devel/iris/nodemon.json

19 Jan 21:57:13 - [nodemon] ignoring: /Users/esa/devel/iris/.git/**/* /Users/esa/devel/iris/node_modules/**/* bower_components .sass-cache

19 Jan 21:57:13 - [nodemon] watching 15,612 files
^C19 Jan 22:04:47 - [nodemon] exiting

and it should be something:

Esan-iMac:iris$node main.js
 >> node-dev-mode-enabled.
{ [Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/bson'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }
js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version
=> Iris listening on port 9042 /no-SSL/w:dev

js-bson error is due to something with MongoDB (connect-mongo@0.6.0) , but 2 other rows should come by 'console.log'
(f.ex. last row .... => Iris listening on port .....)

Can you replicate with an io.js script that you can share (via a gist perhaps)?

And with node-supervisor it shows :

  program 'main.js'

OK, I put mine 'main.js' script in some gist. It takes some time; have not used Gists for a while.

I'd suggest trying to get it down to something really small and basic - rather than your whole main.js. If only to keep things sane!

Whole 'main.js' is in gist : https://gist.github.com/netmiller/520957cc727950c69a8d

It's not very big script; only a bunch of Express-specific 'require' s etc.
But you can easily find few console.log messages I'm using.

Yeah, I'd need the package.json for all the deps - which is why I said I
wanted a simple main.js...

I will try to generate some simple Express-app later this evening.
Meanwhile my package.json is here :

Anyway; pure node start works fine, and also supervisor is working without problems. Can't help much, but I'll try to make really simple test script soon.

I get this (with your updated main.js):

Hmm, weird. I might try to reinstall iojs (which will kill off node), there might be something in that.

Still this 'console.log' is not visible running via nodemon.
This time I have't execMap, but nodemon is still installed as global?
Can it make some difference; I guess no....

Tried to install nodemon locally, but no difference (= no 'console.log' output).
It must be something with iojs.
Maybe I can install latest node again and test if it works with "pure" Node.js.

Yes, one step forward. Installed pure Node .pkg (v.0.10.33) and simple 'test10.js' works now. It must be inside 'iojs.js'.

Confirmed it by installing iojs over node.js - and it kills output.

I will investigate.
