Winner not getting picked

Winner not getting picked in Lottery Smart Contract . I waited for a long time but nothing happens, the winner does not get picked automatically after a particular time duration.

@yatinkhandelwal You were I think in lesson 10, Am I right?

Written that already but still not working.
Do I need to deploy that again before running yarn dev ?

@yatinkhandelwal Just run the lottery project node in a separate terminal, enter some players to the raffle, then run the mock script on the separate terminal and then see on frontend.

yeah I'm able to see now. Thanks for the help. But some questions I have

I have to refresh the page in order to see the previous winner it does not render automatically, why so?

And wasn't it supposed to be automated that after a particular period of time the winner will be picked but it doesn't happen and I have to run the mockOfChain.js file separately in order to get the winner

@yatinkhandelwal Because we are running on Mocks on the testnet or mainnet it will function as you want.

If we try this on rinkeby testnet then what happens?
