Google Closure Compiler on Mac with M3 chip #4146 Running Multipass about multipass HOT 6 CLOSED

Hey @ssg3d, since you're on a M3 try installing 1.13.1. There were some issues with QEMU that should be fixed. It doesn't seem like that is the issue here, but it's good to try. Since you don't have any logs or error message, I can't say what this might be otherwise. I'm going to close this issue, but if you find a problem with Multipass, feel free to reopen or create a new issue.

For the record, I tried installing google-closure-compiler using on a vm with Linux host and had no issues like you described.

Hi @sharder996, thanks for the help.

I installed 1.13.1, but still have the same issue: calling google-closure-compiler does nothing.
Checking multipass version in Mac terminal:

me@mymachine ~ % multipass --version
multipass   1.13.1+mac
multipassd  1.13.1+mac

Also, note that while inside the ubuntu instance terminal, I installed the closure compiler using sudo npm install -g google-closure-compiler, and that my node version is v20.11.0 and npm version is 10.4.0.

Try sudo apt install default-jre and then try invoking google-closure-compiler.

I did some more investigation and a teammate found what most likely is the problem. The issue seems to be coming from the arm64 version of google-closure-compiler. Its calling java jar /usr/local/lib/node_modules/google-closure-compiler/node_modules/google-closure-compiler-java/compiler.jar and since the java runtime environment doesn't exist in the base image, nothing happens. I'd recommend filing a bug at https://github.com/google/closure-compiler-npm.

Thanks @sharder996 for the analysis.

Try sudo apt install default-jre and then try invoking google-closure-compiler.

Thank you @sharder996, it works after installing default-jre.
