Notes

I was using 4.100.3 previously and it was working fine. After upgrading the 4.105.1, it's no longer able to install extensions with CLI.

You would not happen to have apache installed would you? #7461

[joelynlqy]

No, apache is not installed.

I have code-marketplace (v2.3.1) hosted in my environment and the extensions are installed via whatever is available there. I was looking through the logs in code-marketplace and this is what I found:
CLI installation of alefragnani.bookmarks in v4.105.1 :

Manual installation of alefragnani.bookmarks in v4.105.1 works, here's the logs:

From the above logs, when running new version of code-server CLI installation, it's using different endpoints. Hence, resulting in 404.

[code-asher]

Ah you are using code-marketplace. We added support for the /latest endpoint in 2.4.0.

[joelynlqy]

I've updated to the latest version of code-marketplace and verified the /latest endpoint to be working. Thanks!
