setup-node@4 fails to run on arm64 builds

[lokeshgoel177]

This is the github action I am trying to execute.

  build:
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      matrix:
        include:
          - os: ubuntu-latest
            platform: linux
            arch: arm64
          - os: macos-13
            platform: darwin
            arch: arm64
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    steps:
      - shell: pwsh
        run: echo "target=${{ matrix.platform }}-${{ matrix.arch }}" >> $env:GITHUB_ENV
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: 20
          architecture: ${{ matrix.arch }}
          cache: 'npm'

. There are other steps later but for arm64 builds, it fails at setup-node@v4 step with the following error

Is there any specific step I am missing for running Arm based builds? It works fine for x64 builds though

Hello @lokesh-couchbase, Thank you for creating this issue and we will look into it :)

[aparnajyothi-y]

"Hello @lokesh-couchbase, Thank you once again for creating this issue. We have investigated about the issue and found that the error is due to the runner that you are using .i.e. macos-13 and it is giving the Unknown system error -86, which typically means that the system is having trouble starting a new process due to some unknown condition as macos-13 doesn't support arm64. For arm64 we need to use the github hosted runner tag macos-13-arm64 to support the arm64 builds. We tried the same with macos-13-arm64 runner and able to run arm64 builds successfully using setup-node@v4. Please find the screenshots for reference. Please update the runner and let us know if you are still facing the issue.

Thanks for your reply @aparnajyothi-y , Based on your suggestion I changed to another runner (macos-13-xlarge) which is built for mac arm and it worked.

Just 1 question, why is macos-latest failing when it is getting built using M1 cores itself? Is Mac OS Sonoma not yet supported?

[aparnajyothi-y]

Hello @lokesh-couchbase, We don't have arm64 image pushed to macos-latest runner. Please refer this document. Please let us know in case of any other clarifications needed.
