`tflint --langserver` fails to start, complains about exec format error in google ruleset

[Ian Chesal]

Summary

Trying to use the language server integration for tflint along with the tflint-ruleset-google ruleset `v0.25.0.

Running the linter, standalone, with this ruleset and configuration works fine. But starting it in LSP mode has it fail with:

> /Users/ianchesal/.local/share/nvim/mason/bin/tflint --langserver
15:27:50 langserver.go:28: Starting language server...
15:27:50 langserver.go:32: Failed to start language server: fork/exec .tflint.d/plugins/github.com/terraform-linters/tflint-ruleset-google/0.25.0/tflint-ruleset-google: exec format error

I'm using tflin version:

> /Users/ianchesal/.local/share/nvim/mason/bin/tflint --version
TFLint version 0.48.0

And it's been installed via Mason in my NeoVIM environment. Mason is starting the server like so:

 Config: tflint
 	filetypes:         terraform
 	root directory:    /Users/ianchesal/src/infrastructure
 	cmd:               /Users/ianchesal/.local/share/nvim/mason/bin/tflint --langserver
 	cmd is executable: true
 	autostart:         true
 	custom handlers:   

Note: if I get rid of of my.tflint.hcl file, the LSP mode works as expected.

Command

tflint --langserver

Terraform Configuration

N/A -- the server doesn't even start up so there's no Terraform being scanned

TFLint Configuration

config {
  plugin_dir = "./.tflint.d/plugins"
}

plugin "google" {
  enabled = true
  version = "0.25.0"
  source  = "github.com/terraform-linters/tflint-ruleset-google"
}

And suddenly it's fine. I have no idea why.
