Supporting info

Note that I truncated the log file, then shut down Local, restarted, and restarted the site I’m working with to narrow the focus.
local-lightning.log (3.3 KB)

After starting the Site shell I immediately see the following output.

When executing any WP CLI command I see the following output before my command response is displayed.

I just noticed that xdebug support is on (even though I’ve never been able to get it working). I disabled that option and restarted the site. Upon opening Site shell I immediately see the following output:

Then after running an WP CLI command I get the same output:

Hey @commadelimited!

Can you verify which version of the Local application you have installed?

Specifically, whether you are running the Intel or the Apple Silicon version?

If you go to the Application Folder and select Get Info you’ll see here:

Heya Nick, I have an Apple Silicon Mac, but it appears I’m using the Intel version of Local.

Looks like that might be the problem?

If I download and install the alternate version will I need to set my sites up again?

[Nick-B]

You should be able to download the Apple Silicon version from our releases page here: Releases - Local

And then replace you current application:

As always, it’s never a bad idea to back up your work first just in case something were to go awry. You could use our Cloud Backups addon, or the export feature to simply save zip copies of your site(s) to your desktop for example.
