Missing build platform, M3 Mac arm64

[andyclarke]

I'm using an M3 Macbook Pro and am trying to load/use the Couchbase package

Using the below example code give the following error after installing the couchbase package:

Error: Could not find native build for platform=darwin, arch=arm64, runtime=electron, nodeVersion=20.18.1, sslType=boringssl loaded from /Applications/RunJS.app/Contents/Resources.

Example code:

import {
  Bucket,
  Cluster,
  Collection,
  connect,
  GetResult,
} from 'couchbase'

const cluster: Cluster = await connect(
    'couchbase://127.0.0.1',
    {
      username: 'username',
      password: 'password',
    })

  const bucket: Bucket = cluster.bucket('default')
  const coll: Collection = bucket.defaultCollection()
  await coll.upsert('testdoc', { foo: 'bar' })

  const res: GetResult = await coll.get('testdoc')
  console.log(res.content)

I guessing this is an amd64 / x86_64 conflict but I'm not sure how to resolve it. I assume the Node arch type is embedded in the RunJs application (as it says node v20.18.1 and I have v20.19.4 in my cli)

Try building couchbase via your cli. This is the directory you will need to target: ~/Library/Application\ Support/runjs

I like the idea, I was looking for the location of where something like that might be but couldn't find it. Unfortunately it made no difference.
I even tried changing the arch type to x64 using the cli command env /usr/bin/arch -x86_64 /bin/zsh --login but that made no difference either. I then put it back to arm and still the same. I don't know enough about how Electron works. Have you seen this kind of thing before?
I will say that I've had similar Couchbase package issues before trying to use files from my x86 build server but doing a local npm install fixes it, just not here.

It does look like electron support in couchbase is/was a problem: couchbase/couchnode#125
