My node.js application runs smoothly with "npm run dev" and includes some typescript scripts/files. Nodemon is used to execute my code:
This is an excerpt from my package.json file:
{
"scripts": {
"start": "ts-node ./src/index.ts",
"dev": "nodemon --watch \"./src/**/*.ts\" --exec \"ts-node\" ./src/index.ts"
},
"devDependencies": {
"@types/express": "^4.17.2",
"@types/socket.io": "^2.1.4",
"nodemon": "^2.0.22",
"ts-node": "^8.10.2",
"typescript": "^3.7.2"
},
"dependencies": {
"express": "^4.17.1",
"socket.io": "^2.3.0"
}
}
Here is the structure of my files:

I am trying to display console.log messages that I have written in the server.ts file, but unfortunately, they are not showing up in the console.
I attempted using the --inspect flag in the dev script:
"dev": "nodemon --watch \"./src/**/*.ts\" --exec \"ts-node\" ./src/index.ts"
by adding:
"dev": "nodemon --inspect --watch \"./src/**/*.ts\" --exec \"ts-node\" ./src/index.ts"
but encountered an error:
Unknown or unexpected option: --inspect
I also tried:
--inspect-brk
But received Unknown or unexpected option: --inspect-brk
As shown here:

The console does not display any messages from the typescript files. I would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this issue either with nodemon or by alternative means. Thank you in advance.
