With recent versions of SFDX and Salesforce, I am receiving XML parse errors (without any details) when trying to retrieve source from the production instance.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Authenticate with production
2. sfdx force:source:retrieve --manifest "manifest/package.xml" --verbose --apiversion=46.0

Expected result

It should have retrieved the source!

Actual result

Using the same package.xml with sfdx force:mdapi:retrieve works fine.

It seems to partially retrieve the source, but encounter a problem within or after the installedPackages files. This is the status of the git repo folder after the error.

@jeremyhiggs can you run the command with --dev-debug and send us the output. We have a feeling this issue has to do with a specific metadata type. We are also going to take a look at the error message and make some updates to make it more helpful in the future.

[jeremyhiggs]

Do you have any insights into how to fix this?

[nramyasri-sf]

@jeremyhiggs, is there a possibility to share the source code? Or, could you please create a salesforce support ticket and let us know the case number so we can investigate this further?Thank you.

[jeremyhiggs]

Would you need the source code for the manifest? I can do that.
package.xml.zip

[amphro]

Hey @jeremyhiggs - your debug output is a different error than the one you posted about. It is for ERROR running force:source:retrieve: Missing one of the following parameters: manifest metadata sourcepath packagenames when means you ran it without the manifest params. We need the debug output for when you receive ERROR running force:source:retrieve: XML parse errors reported

In addition, the package.xml is not enough. We need the source that is causing the XML parse error. So we would either need a ZIP of your entire source, OR a simple repository that reproduces the problem with a scratch org create, deploy, then retrieve.
