My first guess is that the browser isn't actually loading the JavaScript file you're editing.
I'd open F12 > Network or Sources and check the exact path of the .js file being served. It's surprisingly common in older ASP.NET Core 2.2 projects to edit one file while the application is serving a bundled, minified, or copied version from somewhere else (often under wwwroot).

In my experience, that's usually where the problem turns out to be.
