Cannot install extension manually

I was trying to download and install Jupyter manually since the marketplace doesn't have it. But can't install the .vsix file, and the error message was like: "Corrupt ZIP: end of central directory record signature not found".

I downloaded it from here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-toolsai.jupyter

And I tried to install other extensions:
[Successed] C#: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dotnettools.csharp
[Successed] Vetur: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=octref.vetur
[Failed] Go: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=golang.Go

Any ideas?

Hmm so far I haven't had any luck replicating on 3.6.2. Does unzipping those files manually work?

Can I ask how to unzip and install it? I didn't find any vsix file after the extraction.

It seems like I can only install the extensions that code-server marketplace has, whether automatically or manually...

I was thinking of unzipping the extension on the command line. If it works then it indicates code-server is the problem but if it doesn't then it means the zip actually is corrupt. For example: ``` unzip golang.Go-0.18.1.vsix ```

You're right. I can only unzip some of the files. Maybe it caused by my OS? The file names are not highlighted as expected in the terminal.

Oh that's interesting. I think `ls` only colors based on the file extension or permissions so maybe the permissions are different? Could check with `ls -l`. If the permissions aren't different then I'm not sure; maybe it's checking the file content which makes the corrupted files not get colored since they aren't valid archives. It could be caused by a network glitch causing the download to be incomplete or corrupted. Does re-downloading help at all? What do you get if you run `sha256sum *.vsix`? Here's what I've got: ``` 6f659add350b4109c19b5ff19c3081f5266313e5b1cf9c01b6d8c312d7fcaa51 golang.Go-0.18.1.vsix 93e6b322c187ce726a81882ae3903af9f146694836542853995ea15f6e9e8035 ms-dotnettools.csharp-1.23.6.vsix bd388b0abd52bf1c56a19cf8c583bae215da5293ab4a26498520118e20829b2d ms-toolsai.jupyter-2020.11.358541065.vsix 80886e117c8f007d6ab1f0df9e99df14c1489e1d57b4933bdbb3d325ea01b5aa octref.vetur-0.30.2.vsix ```

Re-downloaded and it works! Thank you!

Glad to hear it! I'll go ahead and close this since I don't think there's anything we can do on the code-server side. If you think of anything though let me know.
