• nodemon -v: 2.0.7
• Operating system/terminal environment (powershell, gitshell, etc): Windows 10. win32 x64 cmd.exe
• Using Docker? What image: N/A
• Command you ran: nodemon app.js

Steps to reproduce

app.js

const readline = require('readline');
const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout });
rl.question('Enter anything: ', (answer) => {
  console.log(answer);
  rl.close();
});

nodemon app.js

Enter text and press enter.

Expected behaviour

App should exit.

Enter anything: a
a
[nodemon] clean exit - waiting for changes before restart

Actual behaviour

App does not exit, continually displays input text. Must exit with Ctrl+C.

Enter anything: a
a
a
b
c
d

[remy]

Any reason why you’re not using --no-stdin flag, as per nodemon --help options?

Because I get this:

@remy alluding to the fact that --no-stdin is required in this case explains it well enough for me. Thanks!
