Hi folks,

I’m on MacOs 10.15.5 using Docker Desktop v20.10.7 and I’m getting the following error when trying to run circle ci locally:

$> circleci local execute --job test

I’m getting the same, I can’t seem to find a solution for this. I’m on MacOS 11.4, v20.10.7

Running into the same error as well. I’m using the go repo from the guide here: Using the CircleCI Local CLI - CircleCI

Hitting the same issue with:

Mac OS 11.4
Docker 20.10.7
CircleCI 0.1.15410+ba6fe81 (homebrew)

5

Same here.

6

Same issue with similar versions as above:
MacOS 10.15.5
Docker 20.10.7
CircleCI 0.1.15410

7

Same here:

Ubuntu 20.04
Docker 20.10.7
CircleCI 0.1.15528+45a6052 (release)

Also, docker info shows following details under storage driver:

 Storage Driver: overlay2
  Backing Filesystem: extfs
  Supports d_type: true
  Native Overlay Diff: true
  userxattr: false

Using circleci convenience image cimg/python:2.7

Found this article https://fabianlee.org/2020/01/15/docker-use-overlay2-with-an-xfs-backing-filesystem-to-limit-rootfs-size/
but seems involved and I’d rather not mess around with my local filesystem

Hi all.

Anyone find a resolution for this? Anything else I can do to get this issue noticed?

I was seeing the same message on ubuntu and it went away when I ran with sudo

I spent a chunk of time debugging this today and discovered the problem. The “circleci local execute” command caches a “circleci/picard” container image locally and uses this image to run local builds.

The problem is that once it fetches this container image, it never updates it. At some point it seems we’ve all pulled a picard image that was sending bogus --storage-opts to docker.

The fix is simple: remove ~/.circleci/build_agent_settings.json and run your “circleci local execute” command again. It will fail to find the local cached version and pull the latest image, which appears to work.

If that doesn’t do it for you, you can try the same picard version I just tested locally that works. You’d set the ~/.circleci/build_agent_settings.json file content to

{"LatestSha256":"sha256:50fe208295ca3bbde6f0c0f7059806df9a9450b66fde41e296a9602e19ca3d54"}

This made it work for me. Deleted the file and the next build was successful. Thank you so much! I spent way too much time on this issue.
