Bug: generate fails with "Provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/mongodbatlas v0.0.1 does not have a package available for your current platform, darwin_arm64."

Bug:

The tfplugindocs generate command returns the following error when running for https://github.com/mongodb/terraform-provider-mongodbatlas

Error executing command: unable to generate website: exit status 1

Error: Incompatible provider version

Provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/mongodbatlas v0.0.1 does not have a
package available for your current platform, darwin_arm64.

How to reproduce the issue:

• Download https://github.com/mongodb/terraform-provider-mongodbatlas
• Download tfplugindocs binary via release page https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-docs/releases
• Run tfplugindocs generate in the terraform-provider-mongodbatlas

tfplugindocs generate                                                            

rendering website for provider "terraform-provider-mongodbatlas" (as "terraform-provider-mongodbatlas")
exporting schema from Terraform
compiling provider "mongodbatlas"
using Terraform CLI binary from PATH if available, otherwise downloading latest Terraform CLI binary
running terraform init
Error executing command: unable to generate website: exit status 1

Error: Incompatible provider version

Provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/mongodbatlas v0.0.1 does not have a
package available for your current platform, darwin_arm64.

Provider releases are separate from Terraform CLI releases, so not all
providers are available for all platforms. Other versions of this provider
may have different platforms supported.

Installing tfplugindocs via go install fixed the issue

go install github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-docs/cmd/tfplugindocs@latest

Hi @andreaangiolillo 👋 Thank you for reporting this and glad you resolved your issue.

To help others, could you explain how you originally installed or had tfplugindocs available to run?

In your reproduction steps:

Download https://github.com/mongodb/terraform-provider-mongodbatlas
Run tfplugindocs generate in the terraform-provider-mongodbatlas

The first step would not make tfplugindocs available as a command to run locally in the second step. We would love to ensure that our documentation is clear for future travelers to help prevent this issue. Thanks!

I download the binary via the GH release page https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-docs/releases. I updated the description of the issue. Thanks

Thanks -- I was able to reproduce by downloading the incorrect architecture binary (amd64) for my arm64 workstation:

$ mv ~/Downloads/tfplugindocs_0.16.0_darwin_amd64/tfplugindocs ~/go/bin/tfplugindocs-amd64
$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/go/bin/tfplugindocs-amd64
$ file ~/go/bin/tfplugindocs-amd64
/Users/bflad/go/bin/tfplugindocs-amd64: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
$ tfplugindocs-amd64 generate
rendering website for provider "terraform-provider-mongodbatlas" (as "terraform-provider-mongodbatlas")
exporting schema from Terraform
compiling provider "mongodbatlas"
using Terraform CLI binary from PATH if available, otherwise downloading latest Terraform CLI binary
running terraform init
Error executing command: unable to generate website: exit status 1

Error: Incompatible provider version

Provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/mongodbatlas v0.0.1 does not have a

Provider releases are separate from Terraform CLI releases, so not all

may have different platforms supported.

macOS allows amd64/x86_64 binaries to run emulated on arm64 hardware as if its runtime is amd64/x86_64, so when Terraform commands are called, if Terraform is arm64, then there will be a mismatch between where it expects providers to be installed.

The way we fixed this was by setting GOOS and GOARCH to what the error was complaining about

GOOS=darwin GOARCH=amd64 go generate ./...
