svgmin outputs empty svg file?

I just installed svgo and then svgmin with grunt. Instead of minifying my code, when I run the svgmin command it just outputs a 0 kb file with no content. The task itself is registered in my gruntfile and runs successfully in the console.

My gruntfile has this function...

svgmin: { //minimize SVG files
        options: {
            plugins: [
                { removeViewBox: false },
                { removeUselessStrokeAndFill: false }
            ]
        },
        dist: {
            expand: true,
            cwd: 'main/svg',
            src: ['*.svg'],
            dest: 'main/svg',
            ext: '.success.svg'
        }
    },

What am I doing wrong?

I was having the same problem, the solution is quite easy actually. You just need to set the plugin cleanupIDs to false:

options: {
        plugins: [
            { cleanupIDs: false },
            { removeViewBox: false },
            { removeUselessStrokeAndFill: false }
        ]
    },

It seems that the cleanupIDs plugin removes all groups (<g>) and symbols (<symbol>) that contain IDs, instead of just removing the IDs. Once you set it to false, you'll be grand.

Hope that helps.
