To solve this issue we need to clear the cached HTML and JS files from AEM.

Browse the "Adobe Experience Manager Web Console Script Cache Status" http://localhost:4502/system/console/scriptcache

at the bottom of the page there is a "Clear Cache" button, click on the button to clear all the above listed cached scripts. You may also clear one by one if you doesn't want to clear all of them. To remove the individual script click on the remove button next to that script in right.
