I have a problem with the local installation (docker) magento.
I tried to make some css changes, unfortunately grunt.js does not compile my files. After the “grunt watch” command has been initiated, the console displays “Waiting …” but does not update any files. Please help 🙂

@btek Yes, I added theme. Grunt exec command returns me warnings:

grunt exec:xx --force
Running "exec:xx" (exec) task
Running "clean:xx" (clean) task
>> 7 paths cleaned.

Done.

Magento supports 7.0.2, 7.0.4, and 7.0.6 or later. Please read http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v1.0/install-gde/system-requirements.html>> Exited with code: 1.
>> Error executing child process: Error: Process exited with code 1.
Warning: Task "exec:xx" failed. Used --force, continuing.

Done, but with warnings.

And grunt less:

>> Destination pub/static/frontend/xx/css/styles-m.css not written because no source files were found.
>> Destination pub/static/frontend/xx/css/styles-l.css not written because no source files were found.

Done.

Grunt in watch mode doesn't update my css files :(
