Failed to build on Mac M1 (arm - aarch64)

[jacobsandlund]

I tried building using ./gradlew :server:installDist with java version 17.0.2 on the PATH. I get this failure:

Downloading https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.3.1-bin.zip
...........10%...........20%...........30%...........40%...........50%...........60%...........70%...........80%...........90%...........100%

Welcome to Gradle 7.3.1!

Here are the highlights of this release:
 - Easily declare new test suites in Java projects
 - Support for Java 17
 - Support for Scala 3

For more details see https://docs.gradle.org/7.3.1/release-notes.html

Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':server:installDist'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':server:runtimeClasspath'.
   > Failed to calculate the value of task ':server:compileJava' property 'javaCompiler'.
      > Unable to download toolchain matching these requirements: {languageVersion=11, vendor=any, implementation=vendor-specific}
         > Unable to download toolchain. This might indicate that the combination (version, architecture, release/early access, ...) for the requested JDK is not available.
            > Could not read 'https://api.adoptopenjdk.net/v3/binary/latest/11/ga/mac/aarch64/jdk/hotspot/normal/adoptopenjdk' as it does not exist.

* Try:
> Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.
> Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
> Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

From some Googling, I found this issue in a different project, and what may have helped them is updating to Gradle 7.4 and some other changes (see this comment).

For me, I got it working with setting:

# in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.4.1-bin.zip

# in gradle.properties
javaVersion=17

Though there were some intermediate failures:

Compilation with Kotlin compile daemon was not successful
java.rmi.ServerError: Error occurred in server thread; nested exception is:
        java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.jetbrains.kotlin.com.intellij.util.io.FileChannelUtil
...
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.jetbrains.kotlin.com.intellij.util.io.FileChannelUtil
...
Could not connect to kotlin daemon. Using fallback strategy.

Could you check whether this still occurs on the most recent language server?

same thing happened to me.

I had to make the following changes to match the JVM available to gradle

Upgrade to the latest Gradle & kotlin plugin, it ought to work.
