Values supported for --ext option

[ankurparihar]

Hey

I cannot find any documentation for nodemon, wanted to know what are the options supported by --ext flag?

I wanted to enable nodemon for all the files regardless of the type.

I've not tried it personally (and am on mobile ATM) but have you tested --ext="*"?

Thanks for reverting, tried with * but it crashed

> nodemon --ext `*` start

@ankurparihar just confirming, you've got a work around right (so I can mark as closed)?

I wouldn't have expected the crash the way you were seeing, so I might investigate this all the same.

hi @remy , we've got workaround, closing this
