Apple Silicon M1 Support - Error: spawn Unknown system error -86 #139

Closed wrgoto closed 2 years ago

Hey @sindresorhus,

We recently built an arm64 build of our Electron app via Electron Builder and it properly installs and boots up correctly. However, when trying to run active-win on an M1 computer, we run into the following error:

[2022-04-01 18:24:44.289] [error] Error: spawn Unknown system error -86
    at ChildProcess.spawn (internal/child_process.js:403:11)
    at spawn (child_process.js:562:9)

If the user installs Rosetta, the issue goes away. This is on a MacBook Pro M1 Max 14" with macOS 12.3.1 installed.

A couple of notes, we use our own fork of active-win but the problem likely happens with the original seeing that the child process has an issue booting up and our macos.js file is identical.
