The babel is not working even when I have done exactly the same with the tutorial. It does not show any error also.

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
Open your browse, type the following URL and then just navigate to the folder where you have your project files. And you are done!
http://localhost:8000/

44,025 PointsI'm not sure if this will help you but I was having the same issue and had to run the code by starting up a simple server. I used this, in the terminal window, on my mac: python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000.

1,255 PointsHi Michael, I have just tried that and it still not work :((
Hugo Magalhaes
6,064 PointsHi Michel! It works! Thanks for the hint! 🙌

44,025 PointsGood day Maria, All you do, if your on a mac, is type: python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 or for python3: python -m http.server Then go to localhost http://0.0.0.0:8000/ most likely. It could be something different. There you can see your project folder and click it. Sorry if the directions are not clear. Hopefully that helps you. On a Windows machine they should be somewhat similar.

8,521 PointsThank you. I will try this. And it works! Thank you so much! Big help

44,025 PointsTram I noticed that your line <script type ="text/babel" src="./app.js"></script> has a space in it between type ="text/babel" but I ran your code on my system and it ran fine. Are you sure your running it off, at the very least a server?
Tram Nguyen
1,255 PointsI just launch it to the browser by "alt b" and the web page does not have any content. But in the previous lesson (not Babel), the web page did show.
Tram Nguyen
1,255 PointsI have figured out my problem which is Google Chrome does not allow me to run babel, due to "CORS policy". So when I try a different browser and it works. Thank you guys so much for helping me :))

It is really hard to help you with so little information, please provide us with more details.

1,255 PointsHi, I followed the tutorial and do the same to it, but the content using JSX does not appear on the screen or in the html source code in the browser when I ran it. I have tried in the workspace and it worked there.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div id="root"></div>
<script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/react@16/umd/react.development.js"></script>

Here is my app.js file:
const title = <h1>First React Element</h1>;
const desc = <p>I just learn how to create a React node and render it to DOM</p>;
const header = React.createElement(
'header',
null,
title,
desc
);
ReactDOM.render(
header, document.getElementById("root")
);

1,371 PointsI'm having the same issue as well. Here's the link to my workspace: https://w.trhou.se/3j7cwy4kiy
I put what i needed to into babeljs.io but it's doing the same thing.
Leon Hoffmann
6,620 PointsYou will need to run it on a server as @micheal cuddy said in first place (I use MAMP for local development as a server environment) to make it work as expected.
Maria Te
8,521 PointsHow will you make it into a server? Having the same problem!

4,590 Points- go to your terminal and go to the location where your file is ex ./treehouse/scoreboard
- run this code
python -m http.server [here you put your terminal num]ex: python -m http.server 8800 - then go to your browser and type localhost:8800

Courses Plus Student 15,220 PointsFor those of you who would like to use node instead of Python for your simple server check out:

Just follow the instructions on the site, it is pretty simple.
