Hello @hmultaniucop :wave: It looks like you didn't include the full Salesforce CLI version information in your issue.
Please provide the output of version --verbose --json for the CLI you're using (sf or sfdx).
A few more things to check:
- Make sure you've provided detailed steps to reproduce your issue.
- A repository that clearly demonstrates the bug is ideal.
- Make sure you've installed the latest version of Salesforce CLI. (docs)
- Better yet, try the

Hey @hmultaniucop, we have had occasional reports of this over the years. We were able to resolve a related issue in 2023, but haven't seen this much since.
Do you remember which version of the CLI you updated from? Was it a really old version?
Generally, deleting the source tracking files in you projects .sf folder will resolve the issue. Please let me know if you a consistent way to reproduce this error, and we can debug further
I've been having this issue suddenly too; never had it before. The only fix for me was to delete the ENTIRE .sf/orgs folder, sign out of the orgs and back in again; restarting the IDE between each step. I also updated git for good measure. Tracking was messed up after this so ran sf project tracking reset, now it seems to be functional again
In recent times we have been seeing similar issues on an intermittent basis. We have not been able to identify any particular circumstances to reproduce the problem.
