This reverts commit f09ab88891, reversing
changes made to effc761e0e.
This is being temporarily reverted to make it easier to release an
urgent fix for v10.15.1.
There are a few issues encountered when running `yarn setup` on new
Apple Silicon (aka M1, aka arm64) Macs:
* The script halts when attempting to run the install step for
the `chromedriver` package with the message "Only Mac 64 bits
supported". This is somewhat misleading as it seems to indicate that
chromedriver can only be installed on a 64-bit Mac. However, what I
think is happening is that the installation script for `chromedriver`
is not able to detect that an arm64 CPU *is* a 64-bit CPU. After
looking through the `chromedriver` repo, it appears that 87.0.1 is the
first version that adds a proper check ([1]).
Note that upgrading chromedriver caused the Chrome-specific tests to
fail intermittently on CI. I was not able to 100% work out the reason
for this, but ensuring that X (which provides a way for Chrome to run
in a GUI setting from the command line) is available seems to fix
these issues.
* The script also halts when attempting to run the install step for
the `electron` package. This happens because for the version of
`electron` we are using (9.4.2), there is no available binary for
arm64. It appears that Electron 11.x was the first version to support
arm64 Macs ([2]). This is a bit trickier to resolve because we don't
explicitly rely on `electron` — that's brought in by `react-devtools`.
The first version of `react-devtools` that relies on `electron` 11.x
is 4.11.0 ([3]).
