Empty directory causes error

[mattangus]

Here is the error that pops up in the bottom right of VSCode:

Command failed with exit code 1: dvc list . output/train_results --dvc-only --show-json ERROR: failed to list '.' - The path 'output/train_results' does not exist in the target repository '<path to project>' as an DVC output.

This error showed up after trying to expand the train_results folder in the DVC Tracked pannel in the side bar.

And the relevant stage in my dvc.yaml:

  train:
    ....
    outs:
      - output/train_results/

Finally the output of tree:

$ tree output
output
└── train_results

This is with the most recent extension version: v0.1.0-b2528b59f1bf99c9c750a06076eae8d802ea9852.

@mattangus hey, thanks for reporting this! It's related to this DVC issue that will be taken care of soon - iterative/dvc#6106

Fixed by #1030. The error still remains in DVC but we are using a different approach to get the data now.
