Issue with WaveAnalyticAssetCollection retrieval causing ENOENT error and missing folders

[Alfystar]

Description:
I encountered an issue when trying to retrieve WaveAnalyticAssetCollection metadata using the Salesforce CLI (sf-cli). The command used was:

sf project retrieve start --target-org PROD_RM --ignore-conflicts --manifest fullRetrieveArtifact/package_WaveAnalyticAssetCollection_0.xml --output-dir fullRetrieve_Artifact/retrievePack/dir_630 --wait 240

The package.xml used was:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>EstrazioneAdoptionRolling</members>
        <members>EstrazioneAdoptionRolling_ogni_luned</members>
        <members>Estrazione_primo_del_mese</members>
        <members>EstrazioniOneShot</members>
        <members>Ogni_6_Mesi</members>
        <members>Scarti_SDD</members>
        <members>Signature_Pad</members>
        <members>TP_di_QCD_non_creati</members>
        <members>subentri</members>
        <name>WaveAnalyticAssetCollection</name>
    </types>
</Package>

The command failed with the following error:

Error (ENOENT): ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/Users/ea_enel/Documents/01_repo/sfdc-ci-enel-mercato/fullRetrieve_Artifact/retrievePack/dir_630/main/default'

I created the missing directory manually:

mkdir -p /Users/ea_enel/Documents/01_repo/sfdc-ci-enel-mercato/fullRetrieve_Artifact/retrievePack/dir_630/main/default

However, the result was:

 ›   Warning: Nothing retrieved

The directories I created were deleted during the process.

I obtained the list of WaveAnalyticAssetCollection using the command:

sf org list metadata --metadata-type WaveAnalyticAssetCollection --target-org 'PROD_RM' --json

Request:

1. Please investigate and resolve the issue with the WaveAnalyticAssetCollection retrieval causing the ENOENT error and the missing folders.
2. Ensure that the retrieval process does not delete manually created directories if they are required for the process.

Any news?

@Alfystar - there are 2 different problems here. One of them is server side and one of them in the CLI.

1. The main issue is that nothing is retrieved. It looks like there is a server side error reported in the retrieve result: Unable to retrieve file for id 0lk1n000000PAsD of type WaveAnalyticAssetCollection. The Collection Signature_Pad has no associated Folder.
2. The other issue is that when using the --output-dir flag, the ENOENT error is thrown which is a CLI bug. I'll create a work item for this.

For issue 1 above, please open a support case so they can create an investigation for the owning server side team. Tell the Support rep that the owning team is called, "TUA-Collaboration Slack Experience" in the Tableau Unifed Analytics cloud.

[shetzel]

@Alfystar - a fix for the CLI issue has been applied in the latest version of the deploy-retrieve plugin. If you'd like to test it out locally you can sf plugins install [email protected] then run the retrieve command again. When done testing locally you can sf plugins uninstall deploy-retrieve. This fix will be in the next release candidate (next Wednesday) and in production the following Wednesday.
