Here’s what you can do to solve this issue:

  1. Quit Local by Flywheel if it’s running
  2. Open up VirtualBox.app in /Applications and then Power Off (if not already) and Remove the local-by-flywheel machine
  3. Re-open Local by Flywheel
3

There are no virtualmachines in virtualbox.app. so problem still here

4

Can you try running the following command in Terminal and pasting the contents here?

"/Applications/Local by Flywheel.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/virtual-machine/vendor/docker/osx/docker-machine" ls

Sorry for the trouble!

5

No problem at all

this is what i get

NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM DOCKER ERRORS
local-by-flywheel - virtualbox Error Unknown machine does not exist

6

Can you now try the following command and provide the output?

"/Applications/Local by Flywheel.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/virtual-machine/vendor/docker/osx/docker-machine" rm local-by-flywheel

Thanks, this did the job, it’s working now
