Summary

When installing on Apple Silicon (arm64) with yarn I get the following error. Is this something that can safely be ignored, or do you actually need the cpu-features package?

It is a dependency of ssh2. So no ssh tunneling for you :/ . You're in bad luck with your apple hardware right now, I know it is a pain in the ass which is why in all projects we're working on we officially banned m1 hardware completely (after it cost us many many hours of trying). So this means I also don't have any such hardware available, and wont have, so you're on your own if you want to fix this issue. The SSH Tunnel feature is especially important in enterprise environments with tight security constraints, so you might or might not need it.

If you want this fixed, please go upstream to tunnel-ssh, ssh2 and https://github.com/mscdex/cpu-features and see if they either already fixed that issue (kindly report me if this is the case then we can give it a bump) or open tickets there respectively.

I ran into the same gyp error on my Intel MacBook Pro. Perhaps the ssh tunneling features could be moved into a separate package so those that don't need it have a simpler set of dependencies?

[andy-isoc]

Same issue as above. Maybe ssh could be made an optional or peer dependency?

[wzrdtales]

I understand you feel pain, but you must realize that this is a massively used package and not a wish palace. We won't make this an optional peer dependency because this would be a breaking change. A breaking change only for a minority group is not acceptable.

I repeat what I wrote already earlier. Check with the upstream module to get it working with m1, and then we will happily bump the package. Unfortunately, it is what you buy in when you buy an m1, an incomplete ecosystem, this is something you have to deal with, not everyone else. So no +1 in this issue will ever help it get resolved, only your brainpower can help and would be very appreciated, by us, by the maintainer of the packages mentioned and the open source community.

[ryanb]

We won't make this an optional peer dependency because this would be a breaking change.

Another option is to extract a core npm package without the dependency which this package uses. That wouldn't be a breaking change. I can understand it's more work to maintain two packages so not ideal.

I repeat what I wrote already earlier. Check with the upstream module to get it working with m1, and then we will happily bump the package.

I'm on an Intel Mackbook Pro and ran into this error. It's not specific to M1.

Thanks for your time considering this issue.

[wzrdtales]

well then you placed your answer in the wrong issue, this issue is about m1 only @ryanb . please file a new issue and try to point down the issue so that can be solved independently.

[Diluka]

As far as I see, macOS(intel), Windows, docker image node:14 neither support to install.

[wzrdtales]

nah that is wrong. works on intel just fine, works on docker image node:14 just fine (never use alpine and slim images, they can't work when native addons are implied, if you need it slim in total put together a proper build pipeline). windows was never on the supported so not sure.

[wzrdtales]

i locked this issue, since every new comment is about non apple silicon problems. please open a separate ticket and properly 100% reproducible document the issue
