Nodemon detects changes, says it is restarting but doesn't actually restart

It was working before but it stopped. If I crash the express app in the app.js file, nodemon will restart at first, but once the app.listen() is executed it won't restart. I tried to isolate every element on the app.js file but the behavior continues. I also added some package recently and I deleted them to see if they caused the behavior but it remains.

{
  "name": "",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "app.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node app"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "bcryptjs": "^2.4.3",
    "body-parser": "^1.18.2",
    "compression": "^1.7.1",
    "connect-flash": "^0.1.1",
    "cookie-parser": "^1.4.3",
    "cookie-session": "^2.0.0-beta.3",

  }

Are you sure that you are using nodemon, because the start command should be:

"start": "nodemon app"
