Can't start a local deployment

Hey guys, thanks for building an amazing database!

I can't start the local deployment:

~/workspace/humanbase % npx convex dev --local --once
waiting for local backend to start...
✖ Local backend did not start on port 3210 within 10 seconds.
✖ Hit an error while running local deployment.
Your error has been reported to our team, and we'll be working on it.
To opt out, run `npx convex disable-local-deployments`. Then re-run your original command.

convex --version
1.21.0
convex --version
1.21.0


I was able to start the local deployment earlier (~1 month ago) when checking out Convex. Today I opened an old project, updated Convex, now can't start the local deployment.

I've already tried disabling local deployments & reenabling them again.

I've also tried 
rm -r ~/.convex/convex-backend-state/
rm -r ~/.convex/convex-backend-state/
. After that, I ran 
npx convex dev --local --once
npx convex dev --local --once
 again, maybe a couple of times. Now there are two directories:

~/workspace/humanbase % ls ~/.convex/convex-backend-state/
local-denis_gorbachev-humanbase-1       local-denis_gorbachev-humanbase_d7728
~/workspace/humanbase % ls ~/.convex/convex-backend-state/
local-denis_gorbachev-humanbase-1       local-denis_gorbachev-humanbase_d7728


How to enable the logs to see the error?

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
