Envoy --version giving segmentation fault when following consul guide

Consul
#1

I’m following the guide below:

My device specs are:
Macbook Air
OS Version: MacOS Monterry 12.2.1
M1 Chip 2020

When I run envoy --version, I get “zsh: segmentation fault envoy --version”.
I have added the env variable as mentioned in the tutorial.

#2

Segmentation issues are memory related, so it’s something locally in the environment that is causing conflicting memory usage. If you remove Envoy, restart the computer, and attempt to re-install. Does that resolve the error by chance?

There’s a known issue with envoy proxy not working with Monterey version.

To resolve this,

  1. I upgraded to Monterey 12.3.1
  2. Downloaded Xcode since having only xcode command line tools is not enough. Also, I had to fix active directory for xcode as mentioned here(macos - xcode-select active developer directory error - Stack Overflow)
  3. Built envoy from source: brew install -v --build-from-source envoy. This installed v1.21.1 release of envoy. This step takes a while. After this, I removed the old installation of envoy which was suggested in the guide from usr/local/bin directory.

After the above steps, I was able to get envoy proxy working. I’m not exactly sure where the issue occurred but I would suggest to add a note about this to the consul tutorial as well when setting up the sidecar proxy if you feel it’s the right place.
