If you are using intellij you may have to go to Tools > File watchers and add Babel. In the watcher setting add a new scope with the pattern file[root]:public/js/*.jsx If you do not do this, Babel also parses the .js files since the file type is "Javascript" (there is no JSX file type in intellij) Make sure you specify the file type that the watcher will “watch” for you and run the program. If you use some custom file extension, e.g. .es6 or .jsx, check that it’s associated with JavaScript file type in Preferences | Editor | File types
