Me again..I'm trying to enroll a macOS agent and when I run the enroll command I get the following : ```auto Error: fail to enroll: fail to execute request to fleet-server: fail to decode enrollment response: context canceled Error: enroll command failed with exit code: 1 ``` I've tried enrolling on multiple installs (7.14.1 and 7.14.0) with the same issue... It seems to contact the fleet server but it leaves it in a state of updating : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/2/e2c1d920e90a5a550b39fb0ae7629685c92ca37e.png) ---

Can you please provide the command you are using to enroll? ---

Just the one that fleet gives you when you use the add agent dialogue ---

I second @zx8086 knowing the OSX version would be great? Also what is the execution directory you are running from? Seems that its having trouble getting its current work directory. ---

Are you running it from the installation directory ? Have you tried with HTTPS ? ---
