Instead change the require of index.js in …/node_modules/nodemon/bin/nodemon.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

Release going up now. I need to find time to drop that module entirely… 😮‍💨

@alexbrazier the thread is here on that very topic: https://github.com/remy/nodemon/issues/1961

I just don’t have the time and no one else has proposed (or pushed) anything that aligns with what I want for this project.

2.0.18 is live now - which reverts back. Ideally the next release drops update-notifier entirely.

@Garamani you shouldn’t see the same issue unless you’ve somehow managed to bump update-notifier to 6 (which, shouldn’t happen at all - check your npm ls).
