Workarounds for M1 Mac local development

Rosetta

Docker requires Rosetta to run amd64 binaries. It should be installed by default, but if that wasn’t the case, run softwareupdate --install-rosetta.

Puppeteer

If you hit a Puppeteer error stating “The chromium binary is not available for arm64”, you need to install Chromium for Puppeteer via Homebrew.

   brew install --no-quarantine chromium

Check that Chromium opens correctly:

   open -a /Applications/Chromium.app

If you hit an error above, try allowing the app under System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General Tab > Allow Anyways. If it was successful, exit Chromium and point Puppeteer to Chromium by adding the following to your shell configuration (e.g. ~/.zshenv)

   export PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=true
   export PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH=`which chromium`

and updating your shell (e.g. source ~/.zshenv).

Jaeger

Get the Mac version of Jaeger, extract it, then

”`

Set PROJECTS to where you’re storing the sourcegraph repository.

export PROJECTS=~/work/ cd ~/Downloads curl https://github.com/jhchabran/jaeger/releases/download/v1.28.1/jaeger-1.28.1-darwin-arm64.tar.gz -L | tar -xz cp ~/Downloads/jaeger-1.28.1-darwin-arm64/jaeger-all-in-one $PROJECTS/sourcegraph/.bin/jaeger-all-in-one-1.18.1-darwin-arm64 “`

(adjust ~/sourcegraph to point to you local clone of github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph).
