Cannot find a job named `build` to run in the `jobs:` section of your configuration file - again

I am completely new to circleci, but our expert has left our company. I’m trying to debug our script by running it locally. This is the original. Becasue it is version 2.1 it won’t run locally

version: 2.1
executors:
  mac_exe:
    macos:
      xcode: "10.1.0"
  linux_exe:
    docker:
      - image: gcr.io/rmx-staging/circleci:0.0.13
  elm_exe:
    docker:
      - image: gcr.io/rmx-staging/elm:0.19.1

jobs:
  side_chain_tests:
    ...

workflows:
  build_and_test:
    jobs:
      - side_chain_tests
      - side_chain_build
      - elm_runtime_build
      - web_upload_assets:
          requires:
            - side_chain_build
            - elm_runtime_build
      - web_release:
         filters:
           branches:
             only: master
         requires:
           - side_chain_tests
           - web_upload_assets

Folowing the cli instructions I did

circleci config process .circleci/config.yml> .circleci/config2.yml
circleci build --config .circleci/config2.yml

But that gives me

Docker image digest: sha256:6331ae078d92837f2513d5aca3f6344189531ab1bdf79bd7231392c7a4b0aa45

circlecli2.yml concludes with

workflows:
  build_and_test:
    jobs:
    - side_chain_tests
    - side_chain_build
    - elm_runtime_build
    - web_upload_assets:

            only: master
        requires:
        - side_chain_tests
        - web_upload_assets
  version: 2

What could I do next?

Try to specify the name of your job:

circleci build --config .circleci/config2.yml --job side_chain_tests
