Below is my grunt file. My watch:news doesn't work, and I'm not sure why.
When I work in verbose mode, I see that all NPM modules load without problems, and it checks that the watch:news task is started, as it should be, but then it just does not accept any changes have occurred?
I'm sure this is probably a typo or some kind of small / easily fixed problem, I just can’t notice it?
Any help is much appreciated!
