MacOS: Failed to extract binary. Trying to re-download again

[kkomelin]

Two users reported the same issue on MacOs after running localnet start the first time. The Github actions for MacOS failed because of the same issue Failed to extract binary. Trying to re-download again

Summary

Mysten Labs did not include many pre-compiled binaries in the latest 1.25 MacOS assets.

Workaround

Users can force Suibase to download/install a specific version with a change to suibase.yaml. Example to force localnet to stay on the last known version working:

force_tag: "devnet-v1.24.0"

Details

Comparison of 1.24 vs 1.25 released assets.

Suibase detects that some required binaries are missing and fails.

I will contact Mysten Labs. This might be a temporary glitch.

Issue now open with Mysten Labs: https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui/issues/17770

===

For better user experience in the future, I am considering to implement the following logic:

If the download of the latest succeed but the required binaries are not present, then Suibase will fallback to the previous version (unless being forced in suibase.yaml)

Thank you @mario4tier!

Suibase will now always ignore macos arm64 v1.25 release and download previous version instead:

A new function "is_valid_assets" in __globals.sh can be used to hard code more exclusion in the future.

===

If somehow you must use v1.25 on your setup, then specify "precompiled_bin: false" in suibase.yaml to force a cargo build.

@mario4tier Thank you for the work! It's a little bit disappointing. Will we exclude more releases in the future? What did Sui guys answered? I can try to reach them out as well if necessary

[mario4tier]

Mysten has re-release v1.25 with a fix ( https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui/issues/17770 )

I did revert the workaround in Suibase, so everyone should now be able to update to 1.25

@kkomelin Thanks for reporting this.

Great @mario4tier. Thank you. That's good news because separate conditions for every buggy version of a dependency could lead the code to a mess.
