Local CircleCI doesn't support 2.1 preview about circleci-cli HOT 9 CLOSED

Should this be reopened now that 2.1 is out of preview? Will running 2.1 config jobs locally be supported in the future?

Hello @brianmhunt,

Thanks for your reply.

I was able to process your config locally, after removing the funky character around line 43.

Could you try running the build locally after processing the config?

i.e.

$ circleci config process .circleci/config.yml > process.yml
# Run the build locally
$ circleci local execute -c process.yml --job deploy-master

This got pretty far for me, at least until make install failed.

Please let me know if you have any other trouble using the CLI! 🙇

from circleci-cli.

$ circleci config process .circleci/config.yml > process.yml
# Run the build locally
$ circleci local execute -c process.yml --job deploy-master

This should be the docs :-)

Thanks @zzak! I got it all sorted! Lots of tinkering, but nothing out of the ordinary for a preview release. :)

Hello @brianmhunt,

Thanks for your report!

The circleci switch command is for people with CLI verison 0.1.0 and less who wish to upgrade seamlessly to this CLI.

Could you send me your whole config, so that I can test it myself? Otherwise, our support staff would be happy to help assist with your config.

You've also found a doc bug! We renamed this command to circleci config process but missed some of the docs, sorry about that! I will fix it right away.

I should mention that circleci config expand just prints the help, though it's mentioned in the config-preview-sdk/README.md:

Local builds do not support 2.1 configuration. There is a work-around, however: You can use the new circleci config expand command (requires upgrading your CLI to the new version) to process your configuration then save the result locally in your config.yml file and run it as a local build.

@brianmhunt Ahh, regarding your original problem, I re-read this and understand now!

So we don't support 2.1+ config syntax for local builds.

You can use circleci config process to pre-process your config into a version that local builds can run (see circleci help config process for more information).

This command should warn if your config version is unsupported as of #76.

Hi @zzak. Thanks for the great follow-up.

There've been a few errors that I diagnosed (once I found the Workflows panel), that now seem to be (or should shortly be) sorted.

Cheers

+1 For @iancrowther's clarification: the command

circleci config process .circleci/config.yml

will just print the 'local-compatible' config.yml to the standard output; it needs to be redirected to a file that you can specify as the --config argument of circleci local execute. (I noticed in particular that version 2.1 was changed to version 2).
