Boilerplate/template keeps showing the same contents of App.Js page

So I created a new React App and tried editting the default template/boilerplate file but unfortunately, the page is not reloading despite changing the contents of the app.js
new contents from the App.js

I did a manual reload and got this:
After changing the default app.js boilerplate

What have I done so far?

Deleted node_modules and re-installed it
Run npm start
npm update
Invalidated caches and Restart ( I use Webstorm )

and the hot reload seems not to work.

I´m loosing some hairs already and would appreciate if someone can just point me in the right direction. I know this could be a simple fix but pardon my ignorance as am just starting into the wonderful world of React.

All tips would be welcomed

Edit: This is the error message that pops up in the terminal after punching Npm start

Error in the terminal

Solution

  • It seems like it should be reloading. Maybe it's a caching issue? Try CTRL + SHIFT + R to hard reload.

    Or pull it up in an incognito browser.
