Jul 31 06:48:04 PM ==> Build failed :disappointed:

Hi, community!
My build process failed because nodemon not found but in devDependencies is it installed :
“devDependencies”: {
“nodemon”: “^2.0.22”
}.
Please help!

  1. devDependencies are deleted after the build process. If you need it in Production (on Render) it’s not a dev dependency.
  2. nodemon isn’t necessary on Render, Render restarts the process even if it exits. You can leave nodemon in devDependencies, and use a different start command for Production.
