'npm run watch' not working

[justingolden21]

I solved it by killing my Local WP sever instance, deleting the theme folder from my WP site, copying the theme (without node_modules) from where I installed to the WP site, reinstalling (npm i) and opening the server back up on Local WP.

As a test: When I replaced pb-12 with pb-10 the padding changed to 10 units, even though the pb-1 utility class was not used elsewhere before, so I know it's generating the classes. Still have to refresh the page for it to appear but that's on Local WP.

I'm not able to reproduce this issue. Can you provide more information, like the OS are you using and which node version?

I'm sure that he is not using the unix-like operating system. (Windows?) and not using proper terminal to do that.

I'm on Windows and get this output for npm run watch:
