I found a bug in Zend Studio for Eclipse the other day. I created a new QA subdomain for one of my web project. When I tried to view the new directory in Zend Studio for Eclipse, it wouldn’t show up. Nothing that I did in Zend Studio would make it show up.

It drove me nuts until I found a clue in this discussion on the Zend Forums. Zend Forum member adlorenz posted the clue, saying

… it seems like bug concerns only files/directories that have leap day date of last modification …

Turns out that any directory or file created or last modified on Feb 29 of this year won’t show up in FTP Remote Systems connections in Zend Studio for Eclipse. I logged into my account, touched the directories and files that were dated Feb 29 ($ touch dirname), and I could finally see the directories and files in the Remote Systems Explorer.
