Unable to launch nodemon environment

I'm trying to start my server with nodemon, but it crashes with the following output.

The error ERROR: Unrecognized environment. Aborting. seems quite rare, from a Google search.

Ran the same code in Windows 10 and a WSL2 Ubuntu set up. Both had the same results. The server does start for my coworker for some reason, though.
