Build with frontend-maven-plugin fails on mac M1: Could not download Node.js

The frontend-maven-plugin tries to download a node file which does not exist.

When I look into https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.15.3 I can only see a file named node-v10.15.3-darwin-x64.tar.gz

Solution

  • This is a bug in the frontend-maven-plugin. An upgrade to the current version should help:

    <plugin>
    <groupId>com.github.eirslett</groupId>
    <artifactId>frontend-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.12.1</version>
    ...
