Files created programmatically don't appear in navigator pane

If I create a file from within a project, it does not show up in the editor.

EDIT: added link to project

this project shows the problem.

The package.json start script is:

"echo START && echo in out1 from the command line >out1.txt && cat out1.txt && cat out2.txt &&ls -la *.txt && node server.js"

(formatted as though a shell script for readability)

echo START
echo in out1 from the command line >out1.txt 
cat out1.txt 
cat out2.txt 
ls -la *.txt
node server.js

I manually created out2 in the editor.

You can see both files in the list and in their contents coming from the cat command

But only out2 appears in the editor sidebar.

Open the tools pane and then click on terminal.

When the terminal window loads type in the command ‘refresh’ [without the '] and it should show up in the file tree now.
