Not being able to retrieve new metadata

[jakobpack]

Summary

Creating new metadata, a custom field for example, does not get retrieved. Results show "No results found". When I create the metadata by hand locally and then retrieve, it retrieves the field successfully. Is there a new setting? Me and my colleague are experiencing the same with ExperienceBundle.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Create new custom field.
2. Try to retrieve by sfdx force:source:retrieve -m CustomField:Object.Field__c.

Expected result

Retrieves the new field.

Actual result

Doesn't find any results.

System Information

@jakobpack I'm unable to reproduce this with both latest (7.163.0) or latest-rc (7.164.1)

Are you able to provide steps to reproduce the issue? Thanks!

I found the problem. It occurs when multiple path objects are present in the packageDirectories array in sfdx-project.json. Reducing them to only one path, fixes the problem.

@jakobpack Thanks for the update. I just tried to replicate it with the following

• clone https://github.com/salesforcecli/sample-project-multiple-packages (this project already has multiple entries in packageDirectories
• cd sample-project-multiple-pacakges
• sfdx force:org:create -f config/project-scratch-def.json -s
• sfdx force:org:open
• Create new CustomField on Account
• sfdx force:source:retrieve -m CustomField:Account.Test__c

Which was successful:

~/repos/salesforcecli/sample-project-multiple-packages (main*) » sfdx force:source:retrieve -m CustomField:Account.Test__c
Preparing retrieve request... done

Are you able to share a repo that replicates it? Thanks!
