Got aarch64 binary from extension even if code-server runs on x86_64 machine

• Remote Architecture: x86_64
• code-server --version: 3.9.0 fc6d123

I'm running code-server on a x86_64 machine, exposing the port and setup a SSL certificate. Everything works well regarding editing the code. However, after installing ms-vscode.cpptools, 1.2.0, I saw these errors when I open the webpage:

1. The C/C++ extension failed to install successfully. You will need to repair or reinstall the extension for C/C++ language features to function properly.
2. Unable to start the C/C++ language server. IntelliSense features will be disabled. Error: Launching server using command /home//.local/share/code-server/extensions/ms-vscode.cpptools-1.2.0/bin/cpptools failed.
3. Couldn't start client cpptools

What is more interesting is that, this file ~/.local/share/code-server/extensions/ms-vscode.cpptools-1.2.0/bin/cpptools is actually built for aarch64!!

$ file ~/.local/share/code-server/extensions/ms-vscode.cpptools-1.2.0/bin/cpptools
/home/<name>/.local/share/code-server/extensions/ms-vscode.cpptools-1.2.0/bin/cpptools: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1, for GNU/Linux 3.7.0, BuildID[sha1]=8fba084eb8358497b78b28a3543e1821da36842c, with debug_info, not stripped

Does anyone see similar problem before? Is there a way to manually install extension so that I can get the correct architecture?

Thanks

After manually downloading the vsix file from the release page, everything back to normal. So there must be something is wrong when detecting the architecture of the platform.

This is similar to #2120 where the same issue was found.

Closing as a duplicate of #2120.
