Unable to get machine image running locally with CLI

I have reduced this to a minimum set

version: 2.1

executors:
  main:
    machine:
      image: ubuntu-2004:202104-01
      docker_layer_caching: true

jobs:
  test:
    executor: main
    steps:
      - run:
          name: 'test'
          command: |
            echo hello
workflows:
  version: 2
  test:
    jobs:
      - test

This configuration (which uses the same executor we’re using in production) cannot be run locally with the circleci tool. The output is as follows

▶ circleci local execute --job test

I did the obvious “docker login” but it appears that some other form of authentication is needed.

We’re trying to run our build locally to diagnose some mysterious exit code 243 problem in our build so this is a major blocker.

Hi @metalsheep ,

As per our documentation, this is a known limitation of the CircleCI CLI.
