• Remote Architecture: x86_64
• code-server --version: 3.9.2 109d2ce

Steps to Reproduce

> code-server --force --install-extension ms-toolsai.jupyter
Installing extensions...
Installing extension 'ms-toolsai.jupyter' v2021.5.0...
Extension 'ms-toolsai.jupyter' v2021.5.0 was successfully installed.

Expected

Jupyter extension has version 2021.5.0

Actual

Jupyter extension has version 2021.3, note that even the available version list doesn't show 2021.5.0.

Notes

I started debugging this after extensions didn't auto-update, manually checking for updates didn't show anything. Restarting the server and trying again didn't work either.

This issue can be reproduced in VS Code: N/A (can't test)

I was able to reproduce this locally. I think this is because by default, it installs from Coder's extension marketplace (which we are soon deprecating and moving towards OpenVSX and guessing we don't have the latest version in there.)

Notes

I tried downloading 2021.5.0 from vsixhub and installing from the VSIX file but received an error message:

The latest version may not work until we upgarde to VS Code 1.55.

Suggested Workaround

I think the only workaround we can suggest is to use an earlier version of the extension.
