graph test throws "Unsupported platform" on any Linux distro other than Ubuntu

[KholdStare]

Which packages are impacted by your issue?

@graphprotocol/graph-cli

Describe the issue

Running graph test on any distro other than Ubuntu throws:

kholdstare@5ced7da9ec4e:~/workspace/code/blockchain/subgraph$ yarn graph test -l
OS type: Debian GNU/Linux
OS arch: x64
OS release: 11 (bullseye)
OS major version: 11
CPU model: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor
/home/kholdstare/workspace/code/node_modules/gluegun/build/index.js:15
    throw up;
    ^

Error: Unsupported platform: Linux x64 11

There should at least be an "escape hatch" where the user either manually specifies which release they want to use, or have a way to point at an existing release with a filepath. Ideally in the long-run, the binary is just statically linked and all of this is moot and it works on any linux distribution.

yeah we are working on improving the support for this #1543

[KholdStare]

@saihaj @dimitrovmaksim How is the migration going? Any updates? Thank you!

This is currently stopping us from using newer matchstick features like assert messages, and dataSourceExists, just because we are using a Debian image.

[dimitrovmaksim]

Hey, @KholdStare, sorry I'm not working on this, so can't give you any updates. Potentially you can build matchstick from source and run it independently from the graph-cli

[saihaj]

@KholdStare it is WIP #1549 had some other pressing issues to fix but do we want to resolve this in coming weeks

[dezzeus]

Any update ? Right now we are manually editing getPlatform in test.js to return binary-linux-22 on Debian… (other than installing postgresql, which is quite annoying)

[KholdStare]

@saihaj @dimitrovmaksim It has been almost 8 months. Is it possible to just add a flag to pass an explicit release on the commandline? This would bypass the check and enable people to use newer versions without hacks.

@KholdStare as I said in my previous comment, I'm not responsible for the matchstick development anymore , nor am I part of the graph team, so I don't have any information at all
