You need to add `define('WP_ENV', 'development');` to your wp-config.php, while developing, so your Roots won’t look for the minified version.

- `grunt dev` basically will do all the work but\* minifying;
- `grunt watch` will run `grunt dev` when something is modified;
- `grunt build` will do all the work + minify, so you can send your project to your production server.

The process as I understand:

1. Add `define('WP_ENV', 'development');` to wp-config.php;
2. Work on your project with `grunt watch`;
3. Finishes the project -\> runs `grunt build`;
4. Send the project to production server (where the WP\_ENV won’t be “development”).
