Error message

You are using ${process.env} platform on arm64 which is not supported by Cube Store

What it means

In getTarget (rust/cubestore/js-wrapper/src/utils.ts:34), arm64 is supported only on Linux-GNU and macOS (darwin). Any other arm64 platform throws this error because no prebuilt Cube Store binary exists for it. The message interpolates ${process.env} by mistake instead of ${process.platform}.

Solutions

Move the workload to a supported platform: macOS arm64, Linux arm64 (GNU), or x64 on win32/linux/darwin
Run Cube Store as a standalone service on a supported host and connect remotely
Build Cube Store from source on your platform and supply it via CUBEJS_CUBE_STORE_BINARY_PATH

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

const supported = (process.arch === 'x64' && ['win32','linux','darwin'].includes(process.platform))
  || (process.arch === 'arm64' && ['linux','darwin'].includes(process.platform));
if (!supported) throw new Error(`Cube Store unsupported: ${process.arch}/${process.platform}`);

Prevention

Verify arch/platform in CI before deploying Cube with local Cube Store
Use remote Cube Store on a supported host for exotic platforms
Run a startup platform check instead of discovering the failure at binary-resolution time

When it happens

Trigger: process.arch === 'arm64' and process.platform is neither 'linux' nor 'darwin' when the wrapper resolves the Cube Store binary target.

Common situations: Running Cube on Windows-on-ARM, FreeBSD/arm64, or unusual emulated arm64 environments reporting a non-standard platform string.
