After creating a directory, two folders are displayed.

Description

I've enabled the renderer.group_empty option. After I created a directory, two folders are displayed. This is only a visual issue.

        },
    })
end

Steps to reproduce

1. nvim -nu nvt-min.lua directory_with_an_empty_folder_inside
2. press "A" to create a directory at the same level with that empty folder
3. move back to see what's the that folder

Expected behavior

No response

Actual behavior

Thanks for the detailed reproducer.

Confirmed, files and directories:

• mkdir -p a b/A/i b/A/ii b/A/iii c
• open b
• a b/B
• open b

Refresh resolves the duplicate.

Having this same problem since couple of days.

Regression since 1fe3228

This has surfaced an issue with grouped nodes:

• Manual refresh when watchers disabled will not ungroup nodes.
• expand / populate_children does not ungroup nodes.

Possible solution for the find file case: find and refresh the grouped parent when node is not present.

@virezox @pritom-5 I'd be most grateful if you could test this branch. The tree structure will be properly updated following creation.

cd /path/to/nvim-tree.lua git pull git checkout 2305-grouped-extra-created-nodes

As tested, this issue appears to have already been fixed.

Many thanks. I'll soak that for a few more days.
