  • VSCode Version: Code 1.17.2 (b813d12, 2017-10-16T13:47:41.889Z)
  • OS Version: Darwin x64 16.7.0
  • Extensions: the listing length exceeds browsers' URL characters limit

Steps to Reproduce:

mkdir -p empty-dir
cd empty-dir
code .
ln -s foo bar
# see bar not showing up in file explorer
touch foo
# see both foo and bar show up in the file explorer
rm foo
# see both files disappear again

I would expect to see the file in the explorer, and when selected to be notified that the linked file does not exist.

Reproduces without extensions: Yes
