'gradle wrapper reports x86-64 architecture instead of arm-v8 architecture on Mac m1

Hello when working from a Mac m1, Gradle wrapper task reports incorrect architecture compared to gradle :

Here is the result of ./gradlew clean :

operating system 'Mac OS X'
architecture 'x86-64'
osx
x86_64
x86_64

Here is the result of gradle clean :

operating system 'Mac OS X'
architecture 'arm-v8'
osx
aarch_64
aarch64

Does someone have an explanation for that.

Additional information : output of gradle --version

Kotlin:       1.5.31
Groovy:       3.0.9
Ant:          Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.11 compiled on July 10 2021
JVM:          18.0.1 (Homebrew 18.0.1+0)
OS:           Mac OS X 12.2.1 aarch64

here is the content of my build.gradle to display architecture :

println org.gradle.nativeplatform.platform.internal.DefaultNativePlatform.currentOperatingSystem;
println org.gradle.nativeplatform.platform.internal.DefaultNativePlatform.currentArchitecture;
println osdetector.os
println osdetector.arch
println System.getProperty("os.arch")

I generated the Gradle wrapper from my Mac m1 using gradle wrapper.

Thanks to @Jesper's comment here is a solution to that issue.

TL;DR

List the JVMs on your system and verify that you have at lease one (arm64) JVM.

?  ~ /usr/libexec/java_home -V
Matching Java Virtual Machines (3):
    18.0.1.1 (arm64) "Oracle Corporation" - "OpenJDK 18.0.1.1" /Users/you/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-18.0.1.1/Contents/Home
    18.0.1.1 (x86_64) "Oracle Corporation" - "OpenJDK 18.0.1.1" /Users/you/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-18.0.1.1-1/Contents/Home
    18.0.1 (arm64) "Homebrew" - "OpenJDK 18.0.1" /opt/homebrew/Cellar/openjdk/18.0.1/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home
/Users/you/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-18.0.1.1/Contents/Home

Setup your JAVA_HOME environment variable to an arm64 JVM :

export JAVA_HOME=`export /usr/libexec/java_home -a arm64`

What happened in my case :

This is caused by multiple JVMs installed on the system. Some JVMs are compiled for arm64 and run natively, and some other are compiled for x86_64 and run in a "translator" (rosetta).

  • Oracle x86_64 JDK installed by intelliJ IDEA.
  • OpenJDK arm64 installed by Homebrew as a dependency of gradle.

Did not follow the "Caveat" of openJDK :

==> Caveats
For the system Java wrappers to find this JDK, symlink it with
  sudo ln -sfn /opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk/libexec/openjdk.jdk /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk.jdk

So the homebrew installed gradle was using the homebrew installed JVM. But gradlew scripts were using the default system JVM (the Oracle x86_64 JVM).
