Following the guide on the last video to set up a python server, it runs on localhost:8000 as expected: however, my app.js is empty in my dev tools! I can't even get my console.log(title); command to work.
I've tried reloading the page. I've manually put in an h1 tag to test if index.html is running and it works. My app.js is seems to be lost.

Joseph Spirito
11,007 PointsThe alternative you suggested works! The only problem is I have to quit the server every time the file changes. Correct me if I'm wrong, but could I use Gulp's Browser-Sync for this?

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,738 PointsThis problem will solve itself when you get to the later stages of the react course, you'll get the live reloading feature from webpack when you run npm start (not now, later).
Joseph Spirito
11,007 PointsI'm currently using Browser-Sync to get through this. I do want to point out that I do appreciate your time. If it wasn't for you stating an alternative, I would have never connected the dots to use a gulp plug-in.
Thank you!

11,007 PointsI am on the 'Learning React' track video #3
On video #2 we download the source files and are directed to set up a 'simple http server' and the teachers notes have us download Python. My version is 2.7. My terminal command is python -m SimpleHTTPServer
It just doesn't want to see this code:
const title = React.createElement( 'h1', { id: 'main-title', title: 'This is a title' }, 'My First React Element!' );
console.log(title);
or any code in app.js
