`npx run-script-os` fails on Apple Mac M1

[brionmario]

I recently changed my workstation to an Apple Mac M1 and I was running the run-script-os with npx. With the above system change, suddenly the commands we failing with the following error.

Script

  "compile": "npx run-script-os",
  "compile:win32": "..\\..\\node_modules\\.bin\\tsc -p tsconfig.json --incremental",
  "compile:default": "../../node_modules/.bin/tsc -p tsconfig.json --incremental",

Stacktrace

run-script-os was unable to execute the script 'npx'
npm ERR! Lifecycle script `compile` failed with error: 
npm ERR! Error: command failed

npm ERR! Lifecycle script `build` failed with error:

When I remove the npx prefix, everything works. Any ideas?

Having the same issue on a different environment (Linux).

For macOS you would need to ensure you have the development dependency:

• npm i -D dmg-license

If that fails you can always add "build:default". Pretty much been using "build:default" as the m1 detector. I know this is not very reliable but it's what you got.

We ended up removing run-script-os entirely from our project.

@FranciscoKloganB I added architecture detection in this PR so you can specify arm64, x64, etc- https://github.com/charlesguse/run-script-os/pull/54
