Doesn't update when new files are added

[robahl]

I really don't know when this is happening. But it seems that sometimes when I add files with touch file.txt the fuzzy-finder does not list it, and you have to close the window and reopen it to show it (reload window also works). Worth noting is that it appears as it should in the tree-view.

Hitting this as well as of Atom (0.100.0).

Err, correction, it finally found it after trying ~6 times and it just sitting there saying no matches found; it never looked like it was trying to refresh while I waited. I switched away from the app and when I switched back it seemed to perform the refresh and find the file.

I'm hitting this as well: Atom (1.0.2), fuzzy-finder (0.87.0).
Once I opened the file from the tree view fuzzy-finder can find the file, but not before that.

I've run into this frequently as well and noticed that if you wait about ~2 seconds, the fuzzy finder eventually completes reindexing and finds the new file:

On initial search:

Then after about 2 seconds:

I'm running Atom 1.0.11 and fuzzy-finder 0.88.0.

It looks like reindexing is lazily performed when the fuzzy-finder window is invoked. I wonder if it could be tweaked to reindex every time a new file is added to the filesystem?

In my case, simply waiting does not fix the problem. Newly created files are never found until the window is reloaded.

Happens to me when checking out between branches.

[gustavomanolo]

I have the same problem, just like @sirianni

+1 on v1.7.4

This is happening to me as well. My fuzzy search does not update with newly added files, even if they are added and saved with Atom. Version: 1.8.0

Quitting Atom and Reopening it makes the file show up.

You can press CTRL-ALT-R (On PC), or for MacOSX it might be CTRL-ALT-CMD-I

In my case, this started happening after I upgraded to Atom 1.8.0 (on OS X 10.11). The file finder indicates that reindexing is occurring, but it never finishes and no new files are added until I quit and re-open the project.

EDIT: A week later, I was able to update to 1.9.6 and this plugin seems to work with new files again.

I have noticed this problem with Atom 1.9.2 on OSX. I am using the advanced-open-file package to create files. Although I think I have noticed a similar problem with create new by Cmd-N then Cmd-S to save. It seems that the fuzzy-finder is not rebuilding it's index, or if it is, unpredictably.

[rumpelsepp]

Running into this every time I add new files with the tree view using alt + \ + a. I also, ran into the issue that renamed files are not recognized; instead fuzzy finders opens the no more existing files.

[stwr667]

Yep, it happens to me too all the time when changing branches.
+1 for a fix.

[Gkupce]

Atom 1.18.0
Fuzzy finder 1.5.8
currently has the problem.

Could we get a Force index refresh option so that at least we don't need to reload the editor?

[nicnilov]

An externally created file shows up in the treeview but is not available in the fuzzy finder window.

Atom 1.22.1
fuzzy-finder 1.6.1

Any updates on this bug? It's been around for nearly 4 years???

@theworkerant commenting on the age of the bug won't help - if there's been any updates regarding the status of this bug we'll announce them here. If you'd like to see this fixed sooner rather than later we would definitely appreciate a well-written PR!
