Error in sfdx force:source:retrieve -m ManagedContentType:news

[RajaPaul]

Summary

I was trying to get ManagedContentType with sfdx cli and org browser-VSCODE and it was throwing error

Steps To Reproduce:

Connect an org to VSCODE which has ManagedContentType or create some metadata
Open VSCODE orgbrowser and try to pull that ManagedContentType metadata into source
You will get the following error

Starting SFDX: Retrieve Source from Org

15:28:39.978 sfdx force:source:retrieve -m ManagedContentType:news
ERROR running force:source:retrieve:  We can’t retrieve the specified metadata object: ManagedContentType. Certain metadata types, like ManagedContentType are not currently supported by the CLI.
File a bug here: https://github.com/forcedotcom/cli/issues and provide the name of the unsupported metadata type
15:28:55.51 sfdx force:source:retrieve -m ManagedContentType:news
 ended with exit code 1

Expected result

It should retrieve metadata

Actual result

Throws error.

And this Metadata type has coverage

Same issue:
ERROR running force:mdapi:convert: An error was encountered processing path: metadata/unpackaged/managedContentTypes/news.managedContentType

@RajaPaul Thank you, we are contacting the team that owns this metadata to get them to fix it.

FWIW, "Source Tracking" in the coverage report, not so clearly, means support for source format in the CLI. The reason is without source tracking pull won't work which is what source format was originally for. Now that there is source:deploy/retrieve we need to be better about breaking that correlation.

I am also awaiting this resolution

[gwynnebaer]

@clairebianchi - neither of the closed items above resolves this issue. It seems unclear if this was meant to say this issue (418) is resolved or not?

I still have this issue (though the error message from the CLI is more descriptive:)

Looks like this is coming in Winter '21:

Hi @FabienTaillon and all,
Trust you are doing good.

I'm unable to get the below CLI working:
cmd
sfdx force:source:retrieve --apiversion 54.0 -m ManagedContentType -u SF_USERNAME@DOMAIN

log:
sfdx-log.txt

Also tried SF CLI

cmd
sf retrieve metadata --api-version 54.0 --metadata ManagedContentType -o SF_USERNAME@DOMAIN

log:
sf-log.txt

[FabienTaillon]

@mdonnalley could you give some input on why it's not planned ? Is it because it's not supported by Source Tracking ?
