IBM Semeru fails to install ARM64 build: Unsupported architecture for IBM Semeru: arm64, the following are supported: x64, x86, ppc64le, ppc64, s390x, aarch64

[vlsi]

Description:

The action fails to install Semeru arm64.

I guess the installer should use .distributionArchitecture() instead of .architecture: https://github.com/actions/setup-java/blob/9eda6b51cc4f6ee99be3dd5537b85e389e47bda9/src/distributions/semeru/installer.ts#L36C47-L36C59

For example, Microsoft installer uses .distributionArchitecture():

setup-java/src/distributions/microsoft/installer.ts

Line 51 in 9eda6b5

const arch = this.distributionArchitecture();

Hi, @vlsi 👋 Thanks for the issue, we will take a look!

[IvanZosimov]

@vlsi, actually, Semeru supports only these types of architectures: x64, x86, ppc64le, ppc64, s390x, aarch64. You can check it on their official web-site: https://developer.ibm.com/languages/java/semeru-runtimes/downloads/. I think that in your case, you may use aarch64 which is basically the same as arm64. I'm closing this issue now, if you have any additional questions feel free to reach out.

@IvanZosimov , could you please double-check?

The issue is that setup-java action attetempts to use arm64 by default.
In other words: the documentation for actions/setup-java reads that the default architecture is derived from the runner machine.

In practice, actions/setup-java fails if running at arm64 machine and installing semeru.

The root cause is that nodejs returns arm64 while the action misses to treat it as aarch64.

@IvanZosimov , check this:

setup-java/src/distributions/microsoft/installer.ts

Lines 51 to 52 in 9eda6b5

	const arch = this.distributionArchitecture();
	if (arch !== 'x64' && arch !== 'aarch64') {

microsoft/installer.ts uses this.distributionArchitecture() which makes arm64 -> aarch64 conversion:

setup-java/src/distributions/base-installer.ts

Lines 190 to 191 in 9eda6b5

	case 'arm64':
	return 'aarch64';

The conversion is missing in semeru/installer.ts, so it causes semeru installation failure.

Thanks for clarification, @vlsi I'll check that and get back to you with updates.
