cm binary 1.6.1: MacOS without Docker: 'Can not access Docker' exception when try to start selenoid with safari from cm

[beregeyko]

cm version - 1.6.1 darwin mac os - 10.13.6

precondition: OS doesn't have installed Docker

STR:

1. download cm as binary
2. try to start selenoid with -browsers safari args

./cm selenoid start -browsers safari

Actual result: Exception Failed to initialize: [can not access Docker: make sure you have Docker installed and current user has access permissions]

Note: works as expected on 1.5.7

@beregeyko starting from release 1.6.0 you should specify --use-drivers flag in order to explicitly enable drivers mode. Automatic fallback was often confusing for users.

@beregeyko did it help?

@beregeyko closing because of inactivity. Feel free to reopen if still not working.

Hey everyone, I'm on MacOS and I receive same exact error but the difference is that I actually have Docker Desktop installed and running. Any thoughts?

[vania-pooh]

@artemBeletzky make sure docker ps command works.

these does nothing, no container is started

@vania-pooh any thoughts?

@dfosticupgrade what is the reason of providing --use-drivers flag? This disables Docker support at all. We never recommended doing this.
