I am currently cd’d onto the server, and I am using nodemon and socket.io to try and connect to the server. So far I ran the command `npm run devStart’ in the terminal, and when I do this it gives me these messages
<code>[nodemon] 3.1.4
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] watching path(s): *.*
[nodemon] watching extensions: js,mjs,cjs,json
[nodemon] starting `node server.js
</code>

</code>

[nodemon] watching path(s): *.*
[nodemon] watching extensions: js,mjs,cjs,json
[nodemon] starting `node server.js
The thing is the last message, “[nodemon] starting ‘node server.js’ is in green meaning that it is attempting to start the server, but it never does! It just stays like that.
In my server.js I have the following code
<code>const io = require("socket.io")(3001, {
cors: {
origin: "http://localhost:3000",
methods: ["GET", "POST"],
},
});
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
console.log("The connection has been established");
});
</code>
<code>const io = require("socket.io")(3001, {
cors: {
origin: "http://localhost:3000",
methods: ["GET", "POST"],
},
});
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
console.log("The connection has been established");
});
</code>
const io = require("socket.io")(3001, {
cors: {
origin: "http://localhost:3000",
methods: ["GET", "POST"],
},
});
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
console.log("The connection has been established");
});
Therefore, when I run npm run devStart I am expecting it to also console.log('The connection has been established') beacuse that is how I will know the server connection has been made.
here is the package.json code relating to the devStart (scripts)
<code> "scripts": {
"devStart": "nodemon server.js",
"test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1"
},
</code>
<code> "scripts": {
"devStart": "nodemon server.js",
"test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1"
},
</code>
"scripts": {
"devStart": "nodemon server.js",
"test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1"
},
I tried to go online, but no one really explained this problem. I am a bit of a beginner to coding, so this might be a simple solution so as always any help would be massively appreciated!
