Encountering an issue where changes I make to the code are not being reflected on the server side

Hi

I'm encountering an issue where changes I make to the code are not being reflected on the server side. Here’s what I’ve been doing:

I followed the steps outlined in the Hot Reloading GWT Code with Super Dev Mode section of the README.

After clicking the "Dev Mode On" bookmarklet, a popup appears with a button to compile the code module.

I press the button, and the GWT CodeServer compiles the module incrementally.

However, after the compilation, instead of the expected result, I get a completely blank (white) page.

Environment Details:
OS: macOS
IDE: IntelliJ IDEA
Browser: Chrome
Server: Running locally
Is there something I might be missing in the setup or execution process? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

This compilation method does not work. You must compile traditionally with the ant command. You can speed up compilation by not compiling Companions, with the ant noplay command.

Note that true changes to the backend server aren't affected by SuperDevMode regardless. That is, stuff under appengine/src/com/google/appinventor/server can only be rebuilt with ant noplay.
