Which one are you using? ghcr.io/cirruslabs/macos-sonoma-base:latest?

[timwoj]

Yeah:

macos_sonoma_task:
  macos_instance:
    image: ghcr.io/cirruslabs/macos-sonoma-base:latest

Something changed with it just recently because we were able to do Sonoma builds 3 or 4 days ago, but one last night failed.

It's weird since seems Command Line Tools are there:

xcode-select -p
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

But we can reproduce with m4. There was a recent bump from macOS 14.1 to 14.4.1. Let us check what happened there.

[fkorotkov]

Seems it's a breakage in macOS itself. @edigaryev was able to reproduce it locally on bare metal.

As a workaround you can try to use ghcr.io/cirruslabs/macos-sonoma-xcode:latest. It hasn't yet picked up the 14.4.1 change and will do it on Saturday April 6th.
