Can't recreate expression evaluation when paused at breakpoint.

Hi,

I was following Craig in the Build the State Change video. I was able to create the breakpoint in the DEBUG method, but when execution suspended there, the Evaluate Expression command was grayed out in the Run menu in Intellij Idea 2016.3, and the Windows keyboard shortcut Alt+F8 did not work. I am running Windows 7. Any ideas?
