Apple ARM Support

[nschonni]

Now that Apple is releasing ARM based chips, opening a general tracking issue. This will likely hit the same lack of CI support that we run into for general ARM support.

• [ ] Need a CI provider to test and produce binaries
• [ ] Updates to supported architecture

This would likely come as a 5.0.1 or later, and there is no plan to add support for older versions as per https://github.com/sass/node-sass#node-version-support-policy

I just tried building a project on M1 Macbook air and got architecture not supported error. node sass does not yet support your current environment: os x unsupported architecture (arm64)

Is there instructions for building it on arm64? I can try building it and see how it goes. thanks

Same for Raspberry Pi 4 :(

EDIT: for anyone trying to build assets on an ARM64 device such as the RPi4 with Webpack through sass-loader, you can get it working by replacing the dependency node-sass with sass.

We really need official binary support for the ARM64 arch. ARM CPU is slowly but surely being an important part of computing. Since node-sass is a common dependency for JS projects, I'm sure that more and more users will face this issue and come to here.

We'd love to support the new Apple M1 chips however we're blocked until there is a free hosted CI solution that supports that hardware. Currently we're tracking these issues for github actions

• https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/805

You could start with ARM on raspberry pi.... Many many solutions running on rpi....

circleCI announced self-hosted here https://circleci.com/blog/self-hosted-runners-add-arm-support-to-circleci/

I'm willing to donate some raspberry pi4 if circleCI self-hosted is an option you want to consider.

[woolfel]

I have several raspberry pi that I can setup with circleCI self-hosted.

yarn add sass
rm -rf node_modules/node-sass/ && mv node_modules/sass node_modules/node-sass

manually replacing node-sass with the npm sass module works for me. Does yarn or npm have a way to do this in package.json?

It should, in theory, compile eventually, although it's untested with node 15. It can be very slow on r-pis.

Hi, I'm facing this error when running compilation with MB Air M1: Error: Node Sass does not yet support your current environment: OS X Unsupported architecture (arm64) with Unsupported runtime (88) For more information on which environments are supported please see: Apple silicon support would be great!

[nschonni]

@connorlurring that's a different package

[lexos-development]

We'd love to support the new Apple M1 chips however we're blocked until there is a free hosted CI solution that supports that hardware. Currently we're tracking these issues for github actions

• actions/virtual-environments#2187
• actions/runner#805

You could start with ARM on raspberry pi.... Many many solutions running on rpi....

Might be true, but since it never run on raspberry pi's before, but was used by a huge number of developers on Macs, Mac should be prioritised. Anyway, raspberry pi should follow up if possible. ;-)

Chicken and egg.......... If there's no solution for pi, its not going to run there; if there's no possibility to deliver support for new M1, then close that other gap

I've worked with a macbook m1 chip 8gb of ram for almost a month. Each day has been painfully slow because of being stuck with nodejs 14 since node-sass doesn't work with the arm version of nodejs. I'm finally giving up and upgrading to 16gb ram...

For Google wanderers like me trying to get their node-sass working on the site in the meantime the magic trick to use Rosetta 2 is:

rm -rf node_modules
npm install --target_arch=x64

[jhodapp]

Same for Raspberry Pi 4 :(

EDIT: for anyone trying to build assets on an ARM64 device such as the RPi4 with Webpack through sass-loader, you can get it working by replacing the dependency node-sass with sass.

This workaround seems to have done the trick for me on Ubuntu on an RPi4. Thanks!

Hi, I'm facing same error when running on MB Pro M1 (16GB RAM): Error: Node Sass does not yet support your current environment: OS X Unsupported architecture (arm64) with Unsupported runtime (88) For more information on which environments are supported please see:

Did not work for me, will still output architecture not supported - ended up switching to sass as a temporary workaround.

[MokryPatrik]

This worked for me https://stackoverflow.com/a/64902152, not the cleanest solution but it works without any modifications in the project.

[nschonni]

Locked the thread as per the first issue, this is about tracking when we'll officially support these builds. We can't till GitHub actions adds support

[nschonni]

From @Peredery in #3157, it looks like GA for macOS 11 pool should be generally available in the next week or so https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/2486#issuecomment-885458538

[nschonni]

Looks like the runners are available https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/8439

edit: looks like it's still paid only, so we're not there yet

[nschonni]

Runner support landed for OSS https://github.blog/changelog/2024-01-30-github-actions-introducing-the-new-m1-macos-runner-available-to-open-source/ Starting to test it out in https://github.com/sass/node-sass/pull/3390
