Eric, I’d likely need to see a log with debug logging enabled for metadata retrieval to see why the first one didn’t work properly. Is this consistently reproducible for you? If so, do you mind capturing and attaching/emailing a log?

The core issue here seems to be the IDE’s VFS (virtual file system) not refreshing properly when asked to do so immediately after the retrieve/populate completes, and it seems specific to Mac/Linux as I haven’t seen it on Windows. I have, however, seen this happen on both my Mac and Linux test configs, and I’ve aded debug logging to try to capture it in action, though so far I haven’t been able to get anything useful. Keeping this open for further investigation.
