# Problem

I got error when refresh(Shift+R) a directory containing FIFO or socket:

```
E605: Exception not caught: NERDTree.InvalidFiletypeError: Cant handle FIFO files: /path/to/fifo
```

# Steps to reproduce

chdir to /tmp, find some fifo or socket file ( 'find -type s' or 'find -type p' )

open that directory using NERDTree

press Shift + R
