changes in views of index.pug file are not reloading live or after refresh using nodemon while running in node.js in Windows 10

Question

I searched this issue but this answer did not solve my problem.

whenever I make changes in app.js, then they don't seen in browser. nodemon doesn't work, it just shows output in terminal as [nodemon] restarting due to changes.. but not "actually" refreshing.

I start my app.js using npm start and start script is "start": "nodemon -e js, pug" , even when I manually run nodemon app.js then only it doesnot refreshes automatically and dynamically.

I am fetching data from MongoDB and have used mongoose.

app.js works perfect when I stop nodemon by CTRL+C and npm start , but not hot reloading.

is this problem of my template engine-pug.js?

Drop the space, you should run nodemon -e js,pug as nodemon is parsing the arguments using spaces, so it's seeing the extensions as "js" and not "js and pug".

That should do the trick.
