SCSS won't compile

The plugins installed successfully, and the other tasks are running fine. Am I maybe selecting the wrong files? No files are getting generated. When I run grunt I get the following:

    Done, without errors.
    MacBook-Pro:portfolio-grunt marcmurray$ grunt
    Running "uglify:dev" (uglify) task 
    >> 1 file created.

    Running "sass:dev" (sass) task

My gruntfile:

    module.exports = function(grunt) {

    // Configure tasks
    grunt.initConfig({
        pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
        uglify: {
            dev: {
                options: {
                    beautify: true,
                    mangle: false,
                    compress: false,
                    preserveComments: 'all'
                },
                src: 'src/js/*.js',
                dest: 'js/script.min.js'
            },
            build: {
                src: 'src/js/*.js',
                dest: 'js/script.min.js'
            }

        },
        sass: {
            dev: {
                options: {
                    outputStyle: 'expanded'
                }
            },
            files: {
                'src/lad.css': 'src/sass/style.scss'
            }
        },
        watch: {
            js: {
                files: 'src/js/*.js',
                tasks: ['uglify:dev']
            }
        }
    });

    // Load the plugins
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-sass');

    // Register tasks

    // To run these tasks, just type grunt
    grunt.registerTask('default', ['uglify:dev','sass:dev']);
    // To trigger tasks here, type grunt build, this says when build project, minify everything.
    grunt.registerTask('build', ['uglify:build']);
    // You can make whatever ones you want, normally a good idea to split into     development tasks and production tasks.
};

Would appreciate some help, love to get this into my workflow!

Hi,

I had the same problem, changing outputStyle to 'compressed' in the build options sorted this for me..

Hope this helps.. :)
