Local server not starting automatically or reloading.

I've installed everything and updated to add the build step as outlined in this question: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/webpack-doesnt-output-bundlejs

With that I do have a bundle.js file at the root of the project.

Yet, I am not getting a web server to start at all. If I go to localhost:8080 manually the Scoreboard app is there but it doesn't reload on changes.

What am I missing here?

When I run npm start, here is the output:

$ npm start

> react-redux-course@1.0.0 prestart /Users/joshua/Code/react/react-redux-course
> npm run lint


> react-redux-course@1.0.0 lint /Users/joshua/Code/react/react-redux-course
> eslint ./src/**/*.{js, jsx} --fix


> react-redux-course@1.0.0 start /Users/joshua/Code/react/react-redux-course
> webpack-dev-server --progress --inline --hot

But the web server doesn't start. When I change one of the player names and save, the project doesn't reload. Without this, I can't go any further.
