Current behavior:

Trying to execute local job with

circleci local execute test

with a config as simple as:

version: 2.1
jobs:
  test:
    macos:
      xcode: 14.3.1
    steps:
      - run: echo running

workflows:
  test:
    jobs:
      - test

and I get this message:

Build-agent version  ()
Creating a dedicated VM with xcode:14.3.1 image
Error: We had an unexpected error preparing a VM for this build, potentially due to our infrastructure or cloud provider.  Please retry the build in a few minutes

Error: 
Unexpected environment preparation error: failed to create host: remote docker is not available on this installation

Step failed
Task failed
Error: Unhandled prepare executor error: failed to create host: remote docker is not available on this installation

Expected behavior:

Run the job locally

When did this begin / Was this previously working?:

First time trying this so I never got it executing.

Additional Information:

Unfortunately, only docker executor jobs can be run locally. From the CLI docs:

You cannot use the machine executor in local jobs. This is because the machine executor requires an extra VM to run its jobs.

A job with the macos property is implicitly a machine executor job (as are jobs with the machine property). Find out more about executor types in the config reference.

Thanks for the reply @loderunner, I actually read that part but didn't connect the dots on that one. Can I suggest making the error clear?
