      1. On Windows with a Moodle install, Node JS being the correct version as mandated by 'package.json' in the Moodle root folder and having initialised with 'npm install'.
      2. Edit '.eslintrc' and disable linebreak style with 'linebreak-style': ['off', 'unix']
      3. Build the 'accessreview' block (or any other core module with AMD JS and adapt the command) AMD JS with the command 'grunt amd --root=blocks\accessreview' in the Node.JS Command prompt in the Moodle root.
      4. Observe the minfied file and map have been created / updated in the blocks\accessreview\amd\build folder.

      On MDL-77995, the functon 'babelRename' was changed to:

      {{
      const babelRename = function(destPath, srcPath) {
      const path = require('path');
      destPath = srcPath.replace(`amd${path.sep}src`, `amd${path.sep}build`);
      destPath = destPath.replace(/\.js$/, '.min.js');
      return destPath;
      };
      }}

      However, 'grunt' always uses the forward slash and so on Windows that uses a backslash (as would be seen in the path separator variable) then the 'build' files end up in the 'src' folder and not the 'build' folder.

      This can be evidenced by changing the code to:

      {{
      const babelRename = function(destPath, srcPath) {
      const path = require('path');
      console.log(srcPath);
      destPath = srcPath.replace(`amd${path.sep}src`, `amd${path.sep}build`);
      console.log(destPath);
      destPath = destPath.replace(/\.js$/, '.min.js');
      return destPath;
      };
      }}

      then with the Adaptable theme installed (on Windows) - https://moodle.org/plugins/theme_adaptable/401.1.5/29152 - run the command (either in cmd.exe (right in screenshot) or the Node.js Command Prompt(left in screenshot)) in the Moodle root -> 'grunt amd --root=theme\adaptable' and observe what the code sees in its strings and the resulting build files in the src folder:

      The fix / workaround is simply:

      destPath = srcPath.replace(`amd/src`, `amd/build`);
