@songemma Thank you for fixing this! I wonder if there is a bigger issue here though. In #1826 we see that when files are updated externally, the contents on their corresponding open editor in CodeEdit do not get updated in response.

After discussing this with other maintainers, we believe this is a result of an underlying issue where some updates are not making their way to the UI. You are welcome to dig into this further if you'd care to, otherwise please let us know and we can later on.
