brunch build does not create directory and files

Question

I am building a small hapijs app with brunch as asset management tool.

Running brunch build doesnt produce any compiled files. My project structure is similar like the structure sample in https://github.com/brunch/brunch/tree/stable/docs

brunch-config.coffee:

    exports.config =

        server:
            path: 'index.js'
            port: 8000
        paths:
            public: 'public'
        conventions:
            ignored: 'app/templates'
        files:
            javascripts:
                joinTo:
                    'js/app.js': /^app/
                    'js/vendor.js': /^vendor/

            stylesheets:
                defaultExtension: 'css'
                joinTo:'css/app.css': /^app/

$brunch build -d produces:

      brunch:watch Loaded plugins:  +0ms
      brunch:watch File 'app' received event 'addDir' +9ms
      brunch:watch File 'vendor' received event 'addDir' +20ms
      brunch:watch File 'package.json' received event 'add' +4ms
      brunch:watch File 'brunch-config.coffee' received event 'add' +0ms

      brunch:watch File 'vendor/css/normalize.css' received event 'add' +0ms
      brunch:file-list Reading 'vendor/css/skeleton.css' +0ms
      brunch:watch File 'vendor/css/skeleton.css' received event 'add' +0ms
'add' +1ms
      brunch:file-list Reading 'vendor/scripts/jquery-1.11.2.min.js' +0ms
      brunch:watch File 'vendor/scripts/jquery-1.11.2.min.js' received event 'add' +0ms

Do I miss something? Thanks for any help

Apparantly I have to install mandatory plugin first such javascript-brunch and css-brunch( or any [style-language]-brunch plugin depending on your style language).
This thing are subtle and it's not described explicitly in brunch docs. Had to reread and reread again of brunch guide https://github.com/brunch/brunch-guide/blob/master/content/en/chapter04-starting-from-scratch.md to get the 'aha' moment.
