Why is PM2 not launching my Node process?

Question

Previously I have had success implementing PM2, but not currently.

My node app does run just fine if I start it manually, but nothing I do gets it to run

Answer 1

Ok, I got the answer after posting an issue to the pm2 github issues page.

Sharing it here in case anyone else finds themselves in this situation:

(Basically pm2 3.2.5 introduced a bug that causes this issue in Windows. My dev install was 3.2.4. The issue was resolved by reverting to 3.2.4 in production. Simple process, see instructions at link above.)
