Comment (by azaozz):

 Replying to [comment:59 afercia]:

 > `src/wp-includes/assets` directory isn't copied over the `build`
 directory during the build.

 Right, it is not copied from /src, it is created every time when building,
 here: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/Gruntfile.js#L358.
 This ensures the dependencies are always "fresh" and coming from Webpack,
 same as the js files.

 Don't seem to be able to reproduce this. How exactly did you build WP?
 What command did you use? I suppose the directory can be copied from /src
 and then overwritten after Webpack outputs the assets file, but better to
 get to the bottom of this first.
