Having an issue:

I have the same on macOS High Sierra. All php modules are present.

This seems to be the likely issue, as per Line 214 in MagentoProject.php $localXml = file_get_contents($projectPath . $localFile);

http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php which states: An E_WARNING level error is generated if filename cannot be found

As the local.xml does not exist yet, it throws exception. That seems to match what we are seeing. I'm not sure of what needs to change in MagentoProject.php, but that looks like the problem. It needs some logic to handle the exception

@richdynamix Any chance you can fix? There are multiple reports of the same

Having the same problem on High Sierra. Workaround before this problem is fixed is to go into sudo su - before running magestead

Thanks! I’ll give that a try when I have time. Have since moved to using Box.Scotch.io and works perfectly.
