    {
  "name": "commonsensev2.0",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "homepage": "http://localhost:9080/server/react",

  "scripts": {
    "build-css": "node-sass-chokidar src/sass/App.scss -o src/css/",
    "watch-css": "npm run build-css && node-sass-chokidar src/sass/App.scss -o src/css/ --watch --recursive",
    "start-js": "react-scripts start",
    "start": "npm-run-all -p watch-css start-js",

    "numeral": "^2.0.6"
  }
}

when i do npm run build i cannot see the changes on the html pages, i m using node 8.11.1 i downgraded it because i found somewhere that it maybe the reason why it does not work i'm also using "node-sass-chokidar": "0.0.3" and the backend is a java server

I had the same issue, I deleted the old build folder on my local environment and ran npm run build again to generate a new build folder.
