Stuck on `npm start`

It keeps hanging on Starting '<anonymous>'

Did rm -rf node_modules && yarn install now, works fine for me. What node version are you using?

I got 7.2.0

I was using 6.9.1, but now tried with 7.2.0 as well. Same results as before. Can it be that the single & doesn't work on windows?

Running just: node ./etc/devserver --verbose works, as wel as just gulp. The later seems to be hanging on Starting <anonymous>, but I guess that is as designed? The second part of the script gulp & nodemon ./etc/devserver --verbose doesn't seem to be invoked.

If windows doesn't support the forking & operator, this behavior would make sense.

hmm you're probably right, never done much Windows CLI stuff. feel free to submit a PR if you come with a cross platform solution, I'll have a look at it after midterm tests

I found a solution here: https://github.com/este/este/issues/460. It does work when I use concurrently:

    "start": "concurrently \"gulp\" \"nodemon ./etc/devserver --verbose\"",

Okay; The PR must wait, because I'm not tracking your repo any more since you've switched from saga's to observables. But this is in my opinion the best fix:

yarn add --dev npm-run-all

package.json:

"scripts": {
    "start": "run-p gulp nodemon",                   // change
    "nodemon": "nodemon ./etc/devserver --verbose",  // add
    "gulp": "gulp",                                  // add

npm-run-all turned out to be a better solution than the earlier mentioned concurrently

thanks for the input! i'll add it asap
