'VS Code Explorer is not showing any project directory or files

I have this one project for which VS Code is not showing any files or directories in the Explorer tree

The actual project files and directories at the root are these:

VS Code is working fine for other projects.

How can I fix this?

Solution 1:^[1]

Another solution: Go to Settings and check "Files: Exclude" in both "User Settings" and "Workspace Settings". Delete the files/folders needed to appear.

Solution 2:^[2]

I had that same problem today (Version: 1.61.0) and fixed it by:

Opening ("Open...") another project on which folders WERE shown.
Opening the original project right after by selecting ("Open..."), but NOT "Open Recent".

Solution 3:^[3]

The easiest way it worked for me was to drag the folders from Windows Explorer into VS Code. That restored the entire directory tree for me.

Solution 4:^[4]

I was facing the same problem. I reinstalled the vscode and it worked for me.

Solution 5:^[5]

This happened to me a while ago and it took me over a month to realize what was happening. In my case, for some reason I added the glob pattern "**/*" for the property Files: Exclude. Basically, I told vscode to exlude all the files in the project, just remove the pattern and you should be fine. I hope someone finds this useful.

Solution 6:^[6]

create a folder using terminal with command "mkdir folder-name" then go to "file" in menu and then to "open folder" then select the folder u used while creating mkdir. This woked for me.

Solution 7:^[7]

Restarting VS Code was enough for me to get it working.

Solution 8:^[8]

go to the directory you want then press right click and press open with then select vs code
