Error: Bindings not found on MacOS / NodeJS 20.16 for for ARM64 (M1/M2/M3 etc.) architecture

[webhype]

Hello, having a bit of a challenging out-of-the box experience here...

How to reproduce:

index.ts:

console.log(process.arch, process.version);

package.json:

{
	"name": "test-swc",
	"version": "1.0.0",
	"description": "",
	"scripts": {
		"start": "node -r @swc-node/register index.ts",
		"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
	},
	"keywords": [],
	"author": "",
	"license": "ISC",
	"devDependencies": {
		"@swc-node/register": "^1.10.9",
		"@types/node": "^22.4.0"
	}
}

Node version:

$ node -e 'console.log(process.arch, process.version);'
arm64 v20.16.0

swc-node version: 1.10.9 (see package.json)

Steps to reproduce:

$ npm install
$ npm run start

Expectation: That it output something like arm64 v20.16.0

Reality:

$ npm run start

> [email protected] start
> node -r @swc-node/register index.ts

/Users/macuser/mm/test-swc/node_modules/@swc/core/index.js:255
        throw new Error("Bindings not found");
        ^

Node.js v20.16.0

If it wasn't clear from arm64 mentioned above, and /Users/macuser paths, the test was on Mac OS Ventura 13.6.7 (22G720), on an M2 chip with the arm64 version of NodeJS 20.16.0.

FWIW on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy and x84_64 architecture, everything works as expected:

$ npm run start

> [email protected] start
> node -r @swc-node/register index.ts

x64 v20.16.0

Any ideas?

maybe you have to specify @swc/core directly in your package.json. The installation of @swc/core should pull the correct bindings for the platform you are invoking npm install on
