Description
If you make a change to a css file, e.g. src/wp-admin/css/forms.css while grunt watch is running, the change will be copied to build/wp-admin/css/forms.css but build/wp-admin/css/forms.min.css is not updated
It is necessary to independently run
grunt cssmin
to get the minified css files updated.

Ideally both SCRIPT_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG should be enabled when developing. Perhaps best would be if we can force these when doing grunt watch. This will also let us stop minifying js files while "watching" to save some CPU cycles :)
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Historically the Grunt watch tasks did not run the CSS and JS minify tasks as
SCRIPT_DEBUGwas definedtruewhen developing in thesrcfolder.With the new build process JS files are minified as part of the watch task, we should do the same for CSS files
