MINOR: Don't install Homebrew's Node.js for JNI macOS build - #1270
Merged
Conversation
Homebrew doesn't provide a bottle for node on x86_64 macOS because Homebrew treats x86_64 macOS as a tier 3 configuration. So "brew bundle --file=arrow/cpp/Brewfile" fails with "node: no bottle available!" and the "JNI macos-15-intel x86_64" job can't install dependencies. We don't need Node.js for the JNI build. So we skip installing it like we already do for aws-sdk-cpp and gRPC.

The
JNI macos-15-intel x86_64job currently fails onmainand on every open PR while installing dependencies:apache/arrow'scpp/Brewfilelistsbrew "node", and Homebrew treats x86_64 macOS as a tier 3 configuration and no longer builds a bottle for it.brew bundledoesn't build from source, so the step aborts before anything is built.We don't need Node.js for the JNI build, so this skips installing it via
HOMEBREW_BUNDLE_BREW_SKIP, the same way #1269 did foraws-sdk-cppand gRPC.Failing runs for reference:
