Hi there,
I'm on M2.3.1 (composer install) and am trying to set-up Grunt to automatically update the front-end CSS files when I change my custom theme's .less files. My theme's parent is Magento\blank which I believe is being loaded from vendor/magento/theme-frontend-blank
My theme's vendor/theme = a1/lws
My dev/tools/grunt/configs/themes.js looks like this:
...
lws: {
area: 'frontend',
name: 'a1/lws',
locale: 'en_US',
files: [
'css/styles-m',
'css/styles-l',
'css/email',
'css/email-inline'
],
dsl: 'less'
}
I am running in dev mode.
After running
grunt exec:lws
grunt less:lws
grunt watch
My changes are seen by the grunt task runner:
$ grunt watch
Running "watch" task
Waiting...
>> File "pub/static/frontend/a1/lws/en_US/css/source/_theme.less" changed.
Running "less:lws" (less) task
>> 4 stylesheets created.
>> 4 sourcemaps created.
Done.

However the changes don't show up on the front end. The CSS is being loaded from
/static/version1557417466/frontend/a1/lws/en_GB/css/styles-l.css
If I delete view_processed folder AND pub/static/frontend/a1/lws/en_GB/css/styles-l.css then refresh I do see the change, but that is no different whether the grunt watch task is running or not.
Any ideas what I've missed please?
