Problem

Using brew install vector or brew upgrade downloads https://packages.timber.io/vector/0.43.1/vector-0.43.1-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz for my Intel MacBook Pro Sequoia 15.2.

Error indicates architecture is not x86_64 - Bad CPU Type

$ which vector
/usr/local/bin/vector
$ vector
-bash: /usr/local/bin/vector: Bad CPU type in executable
$ file /usr/local/bin/vector
/usr/local/bin/vector: Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

Un-taring vector-0.43.1-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz and running file on vector in bin also shows an arm64 executable.
Expected behavior - an x86_64 executable

Configuration

brew install vector

Version

-bash: /usr/local/bin/vector: Bad CPU type in executable

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This broke when we changed our macOS runner here.

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/using-larger-runners/about-larger-runners#limitations-for-macos-larger-runners

We need to use macos-latest-large for Intel architecture and ensure that the verification step catches this.

Is there a plan to release a fixed vector-0.43.1-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz

I am taking a look at this now. Will post updates to this ticket.

Thank you - looks like Vector could publish to both intel and arm64 for macOS.

In the meantime, I'm making a local compile as per "installation/manual/from-source/#linux" - easy!

Yes indeed, I am working on that.

Great! I will pull the bad release from Github and S3 in the meantime.

The next release is scheduled for Jan 13th. We will not spend time re-releasing this one for macOS. We will probably be able to also support ARM architectures going forward!
