Missing application.yml file - Atom hiding vcs ignored files

Question

I am using Figaro to set up ENV variables. Ever since installing it, my application.yml has disappeared. When I do a search for the file in my editor, all that comes up is the reference to the file in my secrets.yml file to ignore application.yml. However, when I go to create a new application.yml in the config folder, it says that application.yml already exists.

I can see it in the finder as well.

I uninstalled Figaro and it still didn't come back, so now I'm not even quite sure it's absolutely connected to Figaro.

Any ideas? I'm happy to set up ENV variables manually, to try Enviable or another gem, but I'd like to find out what is causing this issue.

This question has been edited to show that the problem is with Atom and not Figaro, please see Zhurora's answer.

Answer 1

In Atom: goto Atom > Preferences > Packages > tree-view, check Hide VSC Ignored Files. Atom hides files which are in your .gitignore by default.
