install-extension vadimcn.vscode-lldb: wrong platform aarch64 expecting x86-64

• Local OS: ubuntu20.04
• Remote OS: ubuntu20.04
• Remote Architecture: x86_64
• code-server --version: 3.8.0 c4610f7829701aadb045d450013b84491c30580d

REF: https://github.com/vadimcn/vscode-lldb/issues/402

on a fresh install with cache dir’s cleared:

code-server -vvv --install-extension vadimcn.vscode-lldb

installs extension but for the wrong platform (ARM aarch64 when expecting x86_64)

When manually downloading https://storage.googleapis.com/vscode-extension-assets/vscode-extensions/vscode/vadimcn/vscode-lldb/1.6.0/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.VSIXPackage?redirect=true&install=true I find that the package is for ARM.

I’m not sure if this is a bug in the extension manifest or platform detection that might be passed through a web request.

I think it would be best to download the version that corresponds to your architecture and OS and then install it via code-server --install-extension.

Sure, but this only works after the user has realized what the problem is.
If you want to make this smooth for your users, you need to arrange that your scraping process picks codelldb-bootstrap.vsix package (which is the one I publish to MS Marketplace). Upon activation, it detects current platform and downloads the appropriate full package.
