Grunt in magento not compiling files - docker

Question

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 :)

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.

loading grunt-contrib-clean 76ms ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 29%
clean:xx 90ms ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 34%

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.
