NodeJS Manager show apps in stopped state even they're running

Hi all!

After update to 1.19, the NodeJS Manager show apps in stopped state even they're running.
If kill app in shell and start in panel button, the app runs, but still showing in stopped state.

How to solve this issue?
It's critical to us.

Thanks

Hi Mate,

Same issue here. I've sent a ticket to CWP yesterday (#673168) but initial response is (you are not a paid support customer etc). Currently trying to get them to realise it is a CWP node.js manager bug caused by 1.19 that can be replicated & needs to be passed to the developers. Thus far no further progress with them. Hopefully the developers will notice this post.

Issue: All Apps show as stopped. Clicking the start application button gives error 'Application can not start' & beware do not click the NPM Install button, it will unseat all node packages & the server will go nuclear trying to repeatedly restart the app but be unable to find the files it requires.

Currently it repeatedly spawns the below error every few seconds. I'm managing apps via terminal as a workaround.
