Changes to HTML files are not affecting the view in the Browser

Question

So I am currently working on a Play Framework Project. Now I wanted to do some changes to one of my HTML files. But if I, for example change the name of a Button, the change won't happen when I look at it in the browser. It doesn't matter what I change: Background color of some div, some simple text. The changes I make won't show up in the browser.

When I try to change the text of a button with javascript, it doesn't work as well. When I make other changes to the javascript file, like an alert box, it works fine.

I already tried to clear the browser cache and to build the project again.

So what can cause this issue and how can I solve it?

EDIT: So I tried to do the same thing with another project. And when I make changes to the views and refresh the browser it works. Also I get those messages in the play console:

[info] Compiling 1 Scala source and 1 Java source to

[info] Compiling 1 Java source to /Users/stefanroth/Desktop/TryAgain/Project Kopie/IDP_Benchmarking-master/target/scala-2.11/classes...

--- (RELOAD) ---

[info] - application - Shutting down connection pool.
[info] - application - Creating Pool for datasource 'default'
[info] - play.api.db.DefaultDBApi - Database [default] connected at jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/~/IDP_Benchmarking
OS is = mac os x
[info] - play.api.Play - Application started (Dev)

I don't get them when I try to do that at my actual Project. So for some reason my project doesn't reload.

Answer 1

I think most of the framework works on a template method.

So that any changes don't affect easily to its core layout and style type.

I suggest you find its template folder (its MVC, so find view section) and try to make changes in it. Once you done with changes, clear cache and build project again.

That might help
