`hermesc` is not built for Linux ARM64 - Cannot set `hermesCommand` in react-native-gradle-plugin

[florian-besser]

Description

I'm trying to run ./gradlew :app:createBundleReleaseJsAndAssets on a ARM64 machine.
Due to the machine being ARM64 hermesc is not delivered as part of react-native, so I installed it from source in /home/bitbucket_runner/hermes_workingdir/build/bin/hermesc

The installation followed https://github.com/facebook/hermes/tree/rn/0.73-stable and the binary seems to be working fine.

Steps to reproduce

The following commans all exhibit the error below:

• ./gradlew -Pproject.react.hermesCommand=/home/bitbucket_runner/hermes_workingdir/build/bin/hermesc :app:createBundleReleaseJsAndAssets
• ./gradlew -Preact.hermesCommand=/home/bitbucket_runner/hermes_workingdir/build/bin/hermesc :app:createBundleReleaseJsAndAssets
• ./gradlew -PhermesCommand=/home/bitbucket_runner/hermes_workingdir/build/bin/hermesc :app:createBundleReleaseJsAndAssets

I also attempted to set the following in gradle.properties, with the same outcome as below:

• hermesCommand=/home/bitbucket_runner/hermes_workingdir/build/bin/hermesc
• react.hermesCommand=/home/bitbucket_runner/hermes_workingdir/build/bin/hermesc
• project.react.hermesCommand=/home/bitbucket_runner/hermes_workingdir/build/bin/hermesc

It seems in either case the error message seems incomplete. I've additionally asked around the Discord, without success either.

I'm trying to run ./gradlew :app:createBundleReleaseJsAndAssets on a ARM64 machine.
Due to the machine being ARM64 hermesc is not delivered as part of react-native, so I installed it from source in /home/bitbucket_runner/hermes_workingdir/build/bin/hermesc

You don't need to download hermesc manually because we distribute a universal build of it inside the react-native package.

I'm actually developing on a M1 machine daily and I don't need any of this.

[florian-besser]

Unfortunately @cortinico this does not quite work for us - if we don't set the hermesCommand we get the stack trace from above:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: OS not recognized. Please set project.react.hermesCommand to the path of a working Hermes compiler.

This is because we're on ARM64 but not on OSX

But if you're telling me the build with RN is universal could you then tell me how to set hermesCommand so that it works?
Could you provide an example for setting hermesCommand to point to the RN binary for mac-OS please?

[cortinico]

This is because we're on ARM64 but not on OSX

Ah I see. That's because you're on Linux and not on Mac.

This issue needs to be transferred to the Hermes repo where they can help you better.

[tmikov]

@cortinico Hermes is buildable and works on Linux arm64, but React Native builds and distributes Hermes and decides which platforms to support. How can we help here?

[tmikov]

@cortinico @florian-besser what is the actual problem you need us to help with here? I examined the entire issue and I don't understand.

[cortinico]

Hermes is buildable and works on Linux arm64, but React Native builds and distributes Hermes and decides which platforms to support. How can we help here?

We do build Hermesc using the CMake files from the facebook/hermes repo, so we'll need to find out how to publish 2 distributions of hermesc for Linux.
