Can't get local development to work

[lime heath]

Hi guys!

I can't seem to get the local development to work and I'm not getting any errors that would point me somewhere so I'm writing here.

I tried running npx convex dev --local --once multiple times, but each time I get the cloud deployment.

It also states this in the docs:

You'll also always be given the option for a local deployment if you run npx convex dev --configure. Other flows may assume you want a cloud deployment in some situations, for example when connecting to a project for which you already have a cloud development deployment.
Since I am trying this with an existing cloud development deployment, I tried runnig npx convex dev --configure, but it didn't offer anything related to local development.

What do I do?

There's an active discussion happening with some others who are experiencing issues with local deployment. Might be worth checking out: https://discord.com/channels/1019350475847499849/1413642521938231368

Doesn't really seem helpful because it seems they managed to get somehwere with the local development and than ran into issues - I can't even get it to offer me local development (when running with --config)
