Seems like the date command behaves differently on macOS

Thanks for submitting an issue!

Jap, we sadly do not support macOS at the moment. For reference, this is also stated in: https://github.com/green-coding-solutions/eco-ci-energy-estimation?tab=readme-ov-file#limitations--compatibility

Did you spot a mismatch somehwere , where we may false-advertised that macOS is supported? If so please send us a link so we can update that.

2. In order to make macOS supported the following would need to be done:

• Create an energy model for the underly macOS hardware with the output format of https://github.com/green-coding-solutions/cloud-energy
• Patch the relevant files where the Linux only date +%s%N and date +%s%6N is used

If you are keen on supporting this project and taking on a PR we are happy to help. Let me know :)

I think this can be closed

I would keep it open. I would see this as an open issue. Even if we currently have no timeframe when to support it
