'missing required CPU features' error

[ysoftman]

I'm using latest zellij(Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64) on Apple M1 Max
When I start zellij, it displays plugin error.
When I exit zellij, it show 'missing required CPU features' error like below:

zellij.log

ERROR  |zellij_server::plugins::w| 2023-11-27 11:17:47.907 [async-std/runti] [zellij-server/src/plugins/wasm_bridge.rs:815]: failed to start plugin 1 for client 1

Basic information

zellij --version: 0.39.1

uname -av or ver(Windows): Darwin ysoftman-MacBook-Pro.local 23.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 23.1.0: Mon Oct 9 21:27:24 PDT 2023; root:xnu-10002.41.9~6/RELEASE_ARM64_T6000 arm64

I solved this by installing the latest(0.39.2) zellij

# install latest zellij
arch -arm64 brew install zellij

# check 0.39.2 version
/opt/homebrew/bin/zellij --version
zellij 0.39.2

# and it is an arm64 binary
file /opt/homebrew/bin/zellij
/opt/homebrew/bin/zellij: Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

Fyi, I'm running 0.39.2 and the same issues still persists.

How about if you delete the cache folder and try again? This can sometimes happen due to old corrupted cache artifacts from running a development version or some such.

[yohannes]

@imsnif i see. I checked in ~/.cache folder, there's no zellij.

@imsnif i see. I checked in ~/.cache folder, there's no zellij.

I found the cache folder to be in ~Library/Caches/org.Zellij-Contributors.Zellij. Deleting it solved the problem.

[LukeCarrier]

Should the cache directory be architecture specific to avoid collisions?

I'm running on macOS and have two Homebrew installations (/opt/homebrew for arm64 and /usr/local/homebrew for amd64) for some projects which aren't very portable. I currently have to remove the cahce directory when switching between them 🙃
