What does not located within the filtered view of the tree mean?

I'm trying to Download a file with Get Revision... and Force Operation on Perforce. The log says that the operation was completed.

p4 sync -f /Folder/.yarnrc#head
    1 file updated

But when I switch to the Workspace tree I get the error:

The folder /Folder/.yarnrc is not located within the filtered view of the tree.
  • The workspace mappings are the same I've used on three other machines and they were fine.
  • Other sibling files (files inside /Folder) were downloaded correctly
  • Looks like this is happening only with files that begin their name with a dot.
Solution

  • The "filtered view of the tree" is a P4V thing, not a general Perforce thing (i.e. it's not the same as the View in your client spec). If you look for a little funnel icon on the taskbar that's where the filters are set for the workspace pane -- maybe something is set there that excludes this file? Like a setting to exclude "hidden" files?
