Workspaces doesn't work..!

Hi! every time I launch workspaces, make changes to it and preview, it doesn't work... I even deleted all app.js code, saved the file and previewed it and it previews as if the code was still there..

js/app.js 
//Prevent spoilerphobes from seeing spoilers
//Solution: Hide spoilers and reveal them through user interaction

//1, Hide spoiler
$(".spoiler span").hide();
//2, Add a button
$(".spoiler");
//3, When button pressed
  //3.1, Show spoiler
  //3.2, Get rid of button

    <title>Star Wars Spoilers</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" title="no title" charset="utf-8">

<body>
    <img src="img/deathstar.png" />
    <p class="spoiler">
        <!--Spoiler:-->
        <span>Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's Father! Noooooooooooo!</span>

It sounds like you may be forgetting to save your changes, using the menu or the control-S shortcut.

If your work has been edited but not been saved, there should be a little orange dot next to the file name on the tab.

Hello Steven!

I've made some changes to workspaces, saved them and previewed. Nothing seems to happen. I even deleted all the app.js code, saved it, and it still displays as if nothing happened :/

I already updated chrome
