      1. On windows command prompt do grunt --root=admin/tool/templatelibrary/amd and ensure it only runs only the amd tasks.
      2. Try some other variations and ensure grunt --root=path/to/dir matches the behaviour of cd path/to/dir && grunt (you can't test the non-root alternitve on windows)
      3. Provide a --root which doesn't exist and ensure the job fails gracefully with a fatal error
      4. Repeat the same tests on linux and ensure they match the cd alteratnive

    Description

      On linux it will let you run grunt in a subdirectory and it will only build that directory. On windows we cant do this easily because grunt hides the current working directory.

      I think it's possible to get around by requiring windows devs using "grunt -b ." to change the base directory - which is what this issue is about.
