[Question] How can I use Jest-dynamodb in Apple Silicon?

Dynamodb-local seems to be not compatible with Apple Silicon

According to the log, sqlite4java cannot find the corresponding support platform for Apple Silicon - (fat file, but missing compatible architecture (have ‘i386,x86_64’, need ‘arm64e’)

As the last update of the sqlite4db was before Apple M1 release, Jest-dynamodb is based on dynamodb-local which is based on sqlite4db.

Is there any suggestion on how to solve this issue? is it possible to wrap the docker version for the Jest-dynamodb?

Thanks

For those who read this thread, I just found the other “fix” - there is a community build for the sqlite4java for M1. Download it from https://search.maven.org/artifact/io.github.ganadist.sqlite4java/libsqlite4java-osx-arm64/1.0.392/dylib and replace ibsqlite4java-osx.dylib. (use it as your own risk)

For future readers, jest-dynamodb works fine on my Apple Silicon M1 machine in Oct 2022.
