As nearcore has dependencies that doesn't support M1 chip, we can only build nearcore and sandbox (a specially configured version of nearcore) as Darwin x86-64. So we'll need to fix: always download Darwin x86-64 build of sandbox binary. And M1 users will be able to run with rosetta

Hey @ailisp

I built the nearcore from the source but still when I am trying to install near-workspaces-ava, I am getting error.

[shivamiitgoa]

The error is same as above

[shivamiitgoa]

I am able to get it working using these steps:

1. Remove node_modules and yarn.lock
2. arch -x86_64 zsh This activates the cli in x64 mode
3. yarn to install dependencies

It worked after this 🎉

[shivamiitgoa]

I am closing this issue.

@shivamiitgoa Your workaround seems to require a "dirty state" repo, as it didn't work after freshly running npx near-workspaces-init. A reproducible way to get it to install is:

yarn install # this will actually fail
arch -x86_64 zsh -c 'npm install'
# Now it looks like it worked, but AVA wouldn't start until I added the following
npm install ts-node

Several other versions I tried didn't work, specifically I couldn't get it to work with either yarn or npm alone. npm complained about an old-format package-lock.json (which didn't exist when invoking it), but hey, it kind of works.

Edit: I request keeping this open, as the install step works, but it won't run. I'll be presented with

I tried running e.g. arch -x86_64 npm test or with a zsh -c squeezed in, but obviously wasn't that successful.

Edit2: A very dirty workaround is to redefine getPlatform in node_modules/near-sandbox/dist/getBinary.js:

function getPlatform() {
    const type = os.type();
    const arch = os.arch();
    if ((type === "Linux" || type === "Darwin") && arch === "x64") {
        return [type, "x86_64"];
    }
    if (type === "Darwin" && arch === "arm64") return [type, "x86_64"];
    throw new Error(`Unsupported platform: ${type} ${arch}`);
}

The tests will however run.
