### Issue Summary Local has been working fine for me this week until today, and I’m not sure what changed. Today, when I tried pushing my work up to our dev server for this site on wpengine, it started giving me the error “Local couldn’t load the file list!”. When I try pulling, all the files come up so it seems to work there… I just can’t push. I downloaded and installed an update for Local today, so it might be related to that? Otherwise, I’m not sure what would’ve changed between yesterday and today. And everything else still seems to work - I can still run sites and access them like always. #### Troubleshooting Questions - Does this happen for all sites in Local, or just one in particular? All sites - Are you able to create a new, plain WordPress site in Local and access it in a Browser? Yes #### Replication Describe the steps that others can take to replicate this issue. If you have screenshots that can help clarify what is happening, please include them! 1. Try to push a WPEngine site up 2. See the error “Local couldn’t load the file list!” instead of the usual list of modified files to be pushed #### System Details - Which version of Local is being used? Version 7.1.0+6396 - What Operating System (OS) and OS version is being used? Mac OS Ventura 13.4.1 - Attach the Local Log. See this Help Doc for instructions on how to do so: [local-lightning.log](https://community.localwp.com/uploads/short-url/vldX4vJPd13AohfjGgmSs44PDrY.log) (377.1 KB) ### Security Reminder Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed. ---

@NikoB This is related to a known bug we are investigating at this time. We should have a fix for this rolled out later today and I’ll update you when that’s ready! ---

Thank you so much, fellow Nick B! That at least makes it easier on my end. Thanks for all you do with this great piece of software. ---

We’ve got a Beta version rolled out with a potential fix. Check out the link below for more details: > [@Unable to push to WP Engine after latest update](https://community.localwp.com/t/unable-to-push-to-wp-engine-after-latest-update/38275/19): > > Hey everyone, We were able to zero in on the issue with pushing to WP Engine. It seems that there was a regression that wasn’t properly handling slightly different file lists between the local site and the remote site. This situation would arise if there were certain operations happening either locally or remotely at the time a push was done. For example, if you were trying to push while a plugin update was happening, or a Webpack process was watching/rebuilding things during a push. This most… ---
