Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

[yundddd]

Hi, I encountered this error since version 1.0.0

extensions/ms-vscode.cpptools-1.0.1/bin/cpptools: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

The language server does not start when VS code is started.

Downgrading back to 0.29.0 works again.

16.04.1-Ubuntu
VS Code: v1.48.2

Our extension doesn't output Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")". Is that text translated from another language?

Is there anyway to check who spit that out? This is literally what's outputted from cpptools' extension console.

It looks like the error is from your OS or shell. What happens when you run ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-vscode.cpptools-1.0.1/bin/cpptools? Do you get the same error message? Which binary did you install? Did you use an offline vsix?

You are right it came from my OS. For some reason vscode on my x86 system downloaded ARM version of the executable for both 1.0.0 and 1.0.1:

Version 0.29.0 looks fine:

I think this might be specific to code-server I'm using. See coder/code-server#2120
Feel free to close if this is not cpptools related.

Sorry, we don't support code-server.
