transform.Rotate will not work

Question

{ public float moveSpeed; public float rotSpeed; public Animator anim;

 // Start is called before the first frame update
 void Start()
 {

 }

 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update()
 {
     if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
     {
         gameObject.transform.Translate(-moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0);
         anim.SetTrigger("WalkForward");
     }
     if (!Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
     {
         gameObject.transform.Translate(0, 0, 0);
         anim.SetTrigger("Stop");
     }
     if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
     {
         //gameObject.transform.Rotate(Vector3.up, -rotSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

         gameObject.transform.Rotate(0, 0, rotSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
         print("turn");
     }
     if (!Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
     {
         gameObject.transform.Rotate(0, 0, 0);
     }
 }

} I have use Transform.Rotate countless times in the past and for some reason here it will not work. I have tried going through forums and videos making a dozen tiny tweaks and none of them work. So what am I doing wrong?

Code looks fine, btw "gameObject" in front of .transform is redundant and so are these two parts:

 if (!Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
      {
          gameObject.transform.Translate(0, 0, 0);
      }

 if (!Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
      {
          gameObject.transform.Rotate(0, 0, 0);
      }

You do not need to tell your gameobject not to rotate or translate.

And to help you with your problem, I would check these things (I assume that print("turn") works): isn't rotSpeed set to 0 (e.g. in the inspector)? Isn't Time.timeScale set to 0? Is this script attached to the correct gameObject?

@g_raver got rid of the gameObject part (didn't have it their originally, just something I added in an attempt to make it work) turn prints, got rid of time.deltatime, rotspeed is greater than 0, yes it is on the correct gameObject
