sf project retrieve start -m "FieldSet:OBJECT.FIELD_SET_NAME" - Metadata API request failed: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'split')

zfrench commented 1 month ago

Summary

I am trying to retrieve a field set from an org using the following command: sf project retrieve start -m "FieldSet:OBJECT.FIELD_SET_NAME and an error is being returned "Error (10): Metadata API request failed: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'split')". I have used this command before and confirm the api name of object and field are correct.

Steps To Reproduce

Code for a project cannot be returned due it being confidential information.
Create a fieldset in salesforce on either a standard or custom object.
Update the command below with the object and field api names then run the command from the bash shell: sf project retrieve start -m "FieldSet:OBJECT.FIELD_SET_NAME"

Expected result

The fieldset should be retrieved from the Salesforce environment it was attempting to be retrieved from.

Actual result

Fieldset is not retrieved and an error message is produced. Error (10): Metadata API request failed: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'split')

I'm created a field set on a custom object and was able to retrieve it:

➜  dreamhouse-lwc git:(main) ✗ sf -v
@salesforce/cli/2.44.8 darwin-x64 node-v20.10.0

Screenshot 2024-06-03 at 11 12 56 AM Screenshot 2024-06-03 at 11 13 22 AM

Could you run the command with the --dev-debug flag and share the debug logs? could something with your project or maybe git-bash.

@cristiand391 Below is the partial output of the debug logs. I had to remove the file name directory and file references. I am actually seeing a new error now and the file fieldset is generated but produces the error message below.

Error (1): Metadata API request failed: Could not find HEAD.

it says it's an API error but I'm pretty sure it's coming from the source-tracking library: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aisomorphic-git%2Fisomorphic-git+%2FCould+not+find+HEAD%2F&type=issues

did you cut out some part at the end of the logs? there's no errors in what you shared.

Since you can't repro the original error (Cannot read properties of null (reading 'split')) and now get a source-tracking one, could you retry this using a new scratch org with the same project? if that works then maybe your source tracking info in the previous org got messed up.
