[BUG]New USS Files Not Showing in Masks

[CBriggeman]

I am having this old visual studio code issue on the IntelliJ version of the plugin:
https://github.com/zowe/zowe-explorer-vscode/issues/3693

Tried restarting IntelliJ and my computer to no avail. Deleting and readding the views does not alleviate the issue either. Can see files in the Visual Studio Code version of the plugin.

Hello @CBriggeman
Thank you for adding the issue.
Please, provide more info, such as:

1. Type of the file being created (+ permissions)
2. Is the file actually created (you can see it elsewhere, e.g. 3270 or bare SSH)
3. The version of the plugin you are working with
4. The version of the Intellij IDEA you are using with the plugin
5. Are there any related messages when the file is created
6. Do you see it when trying to list the files with some other mask / absolute path
   Thank you!

Usually I am trying to make txt/cpp/py files. Directories also won't show. Permissions are usually owner = read/write/execute and everything else is read/write

It gets created. I can see it in the Visual Studio Code version and on bare SSH.

I am on Plugin version 2.2.0-243

Jetbrains IntelliJ version is 2025.2

I don't receive any messages when the file is created

I can see files in masks one level bellow my home file. /z/[userid]/cppProjects will show, but /z/[userid] and /z/public will not show

Hi @CBriggeman
I tried to investigate the issue with the USS paths
At first, I thought it is something related to issues we fixed in the past (like this one: 547b9678), but I don't see it as a problem right now...
Perhaps, there is something we are still missing, so let me try to figure out more details again:

1. The paths you are trying to list, are those in the correct case? (in USS explorer we distinguish upper and lower case paths, so /z/MYUSER and /z/myuser are the different ones)
2. The files you are trying to create, do they have any special characters or characters that do not belong to any special encoding?
3. What is the version of z/OS you are working with
4. Specify exactly what you see:
   • as soon as you create the mask, do you see the list of files under it (after the fetch operation is complete) or is there "No items found" / "Permission denied"?
   • when you try to refresh the mask, are there any changes in the displayed content?
   • do you see any error notifications when you try to open the path with the plugin?

Thank you in advance, I will try to do my best to resolve it as soon as possible.
Also, the issue you provided is not related to the plugin, as we do not have this kind of functionality. The plugin works in a different way to fetch the list of USS entities.
