Not reloading on file change

See original GitHub issue

Description

When I attempt make changes to a Component it doesn’t re-build inside of npm start as shown below:

npm start or yarn start

Runs the app in development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will see the build errors and lint warnings in the console.

Expected behavior

When I change a file I would expect the source for my app to update so that upon reload I could see my changes

Actual behavior

Nothing Happens

Environment

npm ls react-scripts (if you haven’t ejected): XXX> npm ls react-scripts XXX@0.1.0 XXXX `-- react-scripts@0.9.5
node -v: v7.7.3
npm -v: 4.4.1
Operating system: Windows 10
Browser and version: Chrome Latest
