Finally, as a side note - your Oracle function code should not have OUT parameters. An Oracle function returns one and only one value, the datatype of which must be specified by the RETURN clause. Parameters passed to an Oracle function should be IN parameters, and you do not have to specify the keyword "IN".
Actually this is just a sample function in real there would be an IN parameter and I can forgo with OUT parameter but not the SELECT clause; the function will have to use an SELECT clause as it's going to query a table based on the IN parameter.
As you suggested I modified the Oracle function without OUT parameter now it looks like:
But still the problem persists.

Can you copy/paste the exact Terminal session that shows what exactly you executed and what exactly you encountered as a result ?
Here's it is. I deliberately gave a wrong funciton name (test_fn1)(in blue) NOTE: I created a "testing" directory and touched "file1", "file2" & "file3" which (in red) can be seen listed when error occurs.
