PhpStorm not showing some files on File Search Follow

Created October 24, 2017 17:14

Some of my project files are not showing up when I try to find them on File Search, but they show up when being searched using Class Search.
Here's an example of a file that shows up on both searches:

And here's an example of a file that only show as Class:

I used Global Search (double shift) to better illustrate, but the same thing happens when using Class and File search individually.

Any ideas?

System:

Ubuntu 17.04
PhpStorm 2017.2.4

Hello,

So there are same set of files for SqsClient? Like *Metadata.php, *Stats.php, *Interface.php and others?

What happens if you enter full file name into search field?

Those *Metadata.php, *Stats.php, *Interface.php files are external libs/vendor files and not related to the ones located in my namespace.

Typing the full file name would result in the same behavior: Some files showing as files and classes, others showing only as classes.

By the way, I somehow managed to fix this issue by un-marking my source folder as Source Folder and then marking it as Source Folder again.

A workaround for this issue would be always using double shift, but there's a known bug on linux where the cursor doesn't focus the input when you double shift. :(

I've been experiencing this as well with the file search dialog (cmd + shift + O). Most files show up but it seems the one I'm looking for is constantly missing after recent updates. I figured this was something I was imagining or was isolated to something dumb I had done, but a buddy mentioned it as well so I'm thinking there's something else going on.

Workaround.

File | Invalidate cache / Restart

I was having the same issue, was gonna comment on this post and tried the above.
Now The files show up.

Newly added files in project like doing a git pull adds new files in project but doesn't gets indexed and doesn't show up in search.This should get fixed efficiently.
