Should be able to manually restart an app when crashed

[hstonge]

When an app crashes and nodemon outputs [nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting..., we should still be able to manually restart the app.

This is useful in the case the crash was caused by a piece of code found inside ignored folders, or when the crash is caused by an invalid external resource outside of nodemon's watch domain.

At the moment, typing rs + carriage return when crashed yields no effect.

I'm using gulp-nodemon (runs nodemon 1.8.1) and am able to 'rs' after aggressively killing the server with kill -9 <pid>

I've updated nodemon to 1.8.1 to make sure, but the problem is still present on OS X 10.10.5, node 4.2.3.

To reproduce:
1- Save a new file with this content:

setTimeout(function(){
  var test = {};
  test.crashMe();
}, 0);

2- Run the file via nodemon, it will crash;
3- Try to restart by typing "rs" + Enter.

Bumping for news regarding this...

I think you can type rs and Enter and it will restart now.

@jcollum-cambia Indeed it does; i kind of forgot about this report 😑

I'm closing the issue.

On the latest version (1.18.6) I can no longer restart the app with rs after a crash.
Is this working as intended?
edit: its fixed in 1.18.9, see: #1490 (comment)
