QuickBuild is mis-gendering my macos box. #4457

I have two Mac OSX boxes showing incorrectly in the QB agent list. Here is their info from the operating system:

macbuild@osx11rel1-1:~ $ uname -a
Darwin osx11rel1-1.iscinternal.com 20.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 20.3.0: Thu Jan 21 00:07:06 PST 2021; root:xnu-7195.81.3~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

macbuild@osx11arm64rel2-1:~ $ uname -a
Darwin osx11arm64rel2-1.iscinternal.com 20.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 20.3.0: Thu Jan 21 00:06:51 PST 2021; root:xnu-7195.81.3~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T8101 arm64

However, in the QB agent grid, both of these machines show up as:

os.arch: x86_64
os.name: Mac OS X
os.version: 10.16

QB seems not to recognize v11 of MacOS, nor the arm64 (aka 'm1') architecture. Can you look into it? I am on QuickBuild v12.0.10. I tried removing and reinstalling the agents but the information did not change.

Hi@drdt

Do you find these from system attributes table? Those params are reported from JDK and is a bug from JDK, see discussions below:

and bug report below:

it seems that the bug is fixed in JDK 18.

My workaround was to create user attributes on the afflicted agent to override the values of os.version and os.arch to match the output of "uname -a". The user attributes are picked up by the resource definition logic in the build grid and node selection logic in build steps. For example:

[All agents with specified attribute value] "os.arch" [equals] "arm64".

I have a job that runs whenever a new agent connects to the server to update this and other attributes used in node selection.

Just wanted to follow up to say, we encountered this same issue on Windows 2022. Upgrading to Java 17 solved it.

Java 8 on Big Sur reports os.name as "Mac OS X" and os.version as "10.16"
