webdriver-manager downloads mac64_m1 on x86_64 arch

[ciekawy]

I think m1 builds are new and for some reason webdriver-manager sticks to m1 even on intel

I/downloader - curl -o/Users/szymon/git/toptal/plan-simply/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/chromedriver_87.0.4280.88.zip https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/87.0.4280.88/chromedriver_mac64_m1.zip

As I badly needed to get unblocked - here is a hacky workaround for anyone in similar situation (only for x86_64 macOS). In node_modules/webdriver-manager/built/lib/files/file_manager.js update fileUrl.url around 166:

fileUrl.url = fileUrl.url.replace(/_m1/, '');

I did quick investigation yet it was not clear to me what the fixing PR should look like.

@cnishina If I understand the code correctly we need a fix somewhere here https://github.com/angular/webdriver-manager/blob/legacy/lib/binaries/chrome_xml.ts#L37
I don't know what's the osarch reported for m1 CPUs but the problem is that both m1 and x84_64 versions of chromedriver have mac64 in the name so we need to remove the ones that have m1 in the name for x84_64 and for m1 we'd have to remove the ones that don't have m1 in the name

Hi everyone. We'll have a fix this weekend.

This has been published 12.1.8. After updating to version 12.1.8, you will need to run webdriver-manager clean before running webdriver-manager update
