Summary

Once I have authorised a Sandbox org (changing the url in the sfdx-project.json) I try to retrieve the source from the Manifest access and I always have the error popup in VS Code "Retrieve Source from Org Failed to run"

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Create a Project with Manifest
2. Authorize a Sandbox org changing the sfdx-project.json to have the test url.
3. Retrieve source code org from the manifest.

Expected result

Source code should be retrieved

Actual result

Error popup "Retrieve Source from Org failed to run"
Error in the console:
sfdx force:source:retrieve --manifest /Users/jzabalegui/Coding/SFDX/test/manifest
ERROR: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read.

I have downgraded my java version. Still same issue

[inakirzabalegui]

it works using CLI so it looks like a problem of the extension with VS Code

sfdx force:source:retrieve --manifest /Users/jzabalegui/Coding/borrar/manifest/package.xml

Thanks for reporting this @inakirzabalegui. I think this is happening because you are triggering the retrieve by right-clicking the manifest folder instead of right-clicking the package.xml file. Could you try the retrieve by right-clicking the file ?

This error is Node error seems to come from when trying to retrieve information from multilevel directories in for instance Dashboards.

In the example, the dashboard is under folder structure: KPIs/Sales/

Used with VS Code --> SFDX: Retrieve This Source from Org
or by CLI: sfdx force:source:retrieve -x manifest/package.xml

This examples of package.xml file vil give you a "ERROR: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read.":

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata"> <types> <members>KPIs</members> <members>Sales</members> <members>Sales/gIYNRmAuUHjMQTRSMIYbAOWZhrDwOK</members> <name>Dashboard</name> </types> <version>43.0</version> </Package>

This examples of package.xml file vil give you a "ERROR: Cannot read property 'getWorkspaceElements' of undefined.":

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata"> <types> <members>KPIs/Sales/gIYNRmAuUHjMQTRSMIYbAOWZhrDwOK</members> <name>Dashboard</name> </types> <version>43.0</version> </Package>

I have so far not found any good way of retrieving this information with the use of manifest and package.xml.

[inakirzabalegui]

@lcampos you are right. Problem is the option sometimes does not appear in the menu of package.xml but in the manifest folder.

[lcampos]

@inakirzabalegui I'll close this as duplicate of #678 and we'll continue the conversation there.

@Triopticon you're comment is also on the other thread and will address it there. I still have to be able to replicate it but I do see that the origin for it is different since you are in fact executing the retrieve on the package.xml file.

Related to #690

Why was this issue closed? I dont see any relation to #690 . I am also getting this error for dashboards

[jordanbaucke]

Agree with @q-jack here, the issue remains unresolved, and I have observed as recently as today (again dealing with nested Reports/Dashboards) as mentioned in https://github.com/forcedotcom/salesforcedx-vscode/issues/690

I am getting below error while retrieving source from the dev org

ERROR running force:source:retrieve: Invalid or unsupported zip format. No END header found

[stixwix]

Still an issue in version 1.37.1

[nagensahu]

This is still an issue with version 1.39.2.

Had to remove Reports, Dashboards and Documents from the package.xml to get the retrieve to work

[harshitagarwal2]

A fix to the problem from trying to retrieve it from the folder is to open the package.xml file and make a retrieve request from the file location.

[shailnedra]

i removed the below content from package.xml
< types >
< members >* < name >StaticResource it works fine for me..Fyi..

[HazenFley]

I don't think this is a folder issue. I have removed everything by the CustomObject Metadata and I am still getting this error. I reinstalled windows this weekend and it is giving me this error now. ERROR running force:source:retrieve: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read

I am running the retreive through the terminal: sfdx force:source:retrieve -x .\manifest\ -u UOSandbox

Here is my package file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

For some reason after 7 to 8 times of retrieval it stops working and the Retrieve doesnt work at all.
I have tried updating VS as well. But every time I have to retrieve in 2 different projects and then combine because after 7 - 8 times retrieving command it doesnt work.
