Getting error: "Error (1): No results to format" when trying to get the entity data

https://confluence.internal.salesforce.com/display/PLATFORMDX/Adding+2GP+Managed+Packaging+metadata+channel+support

I'm following this doc to have my entity be supported for packaging, and I have registered the entity (AffinityScoreDefinition) to the CLI in this repo, but I'm still getting that error when I run these commands:

sfdx force:mdapi:convert -r -d force-app/

which I believe should have resolved once my metadatype was registered (https://github.com/forcedotcom/source-deploy-retrieve/blob/main/src/registry/metadataRegistry.json).

Can't find any information on slack about this, can anyone help?

Hello @rheacherian814 👋 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 rc or nightly versions. (docs)
• Try running the doctor command to diagnose common issues.
• Search GitHub for existing related issues.

Thank you!

your type was included in SDR v10.7.0 (and a small fix about the suffix included in 10.7.1):
https://github.com/forcedotcom/source-deploy-retrieve/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#1071-2024-04-01

The CLI needs to use that SDR version (or higher) to recognize the type in your project.

"deploy-retrieve 3.2.35 (core)",

the force:mdapi:convert command is part of the deploy-retrieve plugin, v3.2.35 is using SDR 10.5.3 so that explains why it doesn't work.

The available nightly has SDR v10.7.0 but it may not work because of the suffix fix, maybe wait for tomorrow to get the new nightly and try again?:

Updating the nightly worked for me -- thank you!
