I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here re: border-radius

The challenge task here is: Create a rule using the class .roundy. Give .roundy a width of 150px and a border-radius of 50%. Then, create a rule that targets .img-author and allow it to extend the properties of .roundy.

I keep getting an error that I need to set border-radius to 50%. Pretty sure that's what I've been doing. Is this a bug, or am I missing a mistake?

style.scss 
%roundy {
  width: 150px;
  border-radius: 50%;
 }

 .img-author {
  @extend %roundy;
 }

When I do that it breaks the @extend command, and I get this error:

Bummer! There's something wrong with your Sass stylesheet. Please review your code and try again. Sass Error: ".img-author" failed to @extend "%roundy". The selector "%roundy" was not found. Use "@extend %roundy !optional" if the extend should be able to fail.
