Install native LS build for Apple Silicon (arm64)

[radeksimko]

This should not be merged until hashicorp/terraform-ls#350 is merged and released, i.e. when there is an actual darwin/arm64 build of LS available.

That PR is currently also on hold due to go-nv/goenv#164

Hi, just a kind reminder, that's all of your requirements seems to be meet :)

[radeksimko]

@pszypowicz Thanks for the reminder.

Yes, the conditions I mentioned are met. We just had an internal conversation about how the unavailability of darwin/arm64 build of Terraform may affect the experience. There is certainly plan to release it soon, but not before significant number of official providers are released for that platform.

I'm sure that this could be worked around by passing -tf-exec flag to ensure that Terraform runs via Rosetta, but I don't think that's a great first-time UX (forcing users to change configuration to make it "just work"), so I think we're going to wait until the build is available.

Terraform itself is now fully natively available too! 😄 Along with most/all major providers 👌 I think it may be time!

@billinghamj The team has plans to release native darwin/arm64 support soon, but it has not done so yet from what I know:
https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.15.0/

It is possible that you compiled Terraform for that platform yourself, or downloaded a binary compiled by a third party?
This may work, but it's not explicitly tested/supported by the maintaining team yet.

[billinghamj]

A lot of people get terraform from brew, which has been distributing it compiled for arm64 for many months. Hashicorp's insistence to keep waiting for other dependencies has resulted in Terraform being - by far - the slowest to make progress on Apple Silicon support across all the tools I use

I mean no ill will to you, but as a policy it's really very frustrating and has unnecessarily delayed every single component of Terraform :\ Maybe if some of the engineers at Hashicorp used M1 machines, you might realise how bad it's been 😞

From a testing/supporting perspective, I don't know if you're aware, but Terraform is not stable on Rosetta 2 - it never has been. It's virtually unusable versus just running it with native builds, which - to my knowledge - haven't had a single issue. They just required Go 1.16

[radeksimko]

Terraform 1.0.2 was released with darwin/arm64 support.

There is a bug fix release scheduled to go out soon, but I'll make sure this is part of the following release, most likely next week.
