Conflict detection error when retrieving source from manifest for the first time

[ben-koch]

Summary

When starting a new project and running "Retrieve Source in Manifest from Org" for the first time, an error is thrown during conflict detection and the retrieval action fails.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Create Project with Manifest
2. Authorize a new SF Org
3. Run "Retrieve Source in Manifest from Org"

Expected result

Conflict detection should be skipped or return no conflicts and the manifest retrieval should succeed, assuming no other issues.

Actual result

An error is thrown and the retrieval fails. Error is as follows:

"No components in the package to retrieve
An error was encountered during conflict detection. Error: Conflict Detection failed to retrieve org file state"

Additional information

Manually disabling conflict detection and running the retrieval is successful. Once there are components in the VS Code project, re-enabling conflict detection and running Retrieve Source in Manifest from Org no longer results in an error and conflict detection works normally.

VS Code Version: 1.56.2

OS and version: MacOS Big Sur 11.2.3
