          You don't need --sourcepath. It looks at where you are pointing and tries to pull items which match what you have there already.



          What you do need is a package.xml file to get your entire metadata database; you might need help getting that file for your particular org.



          Instead, you can do the following to get going with Apex or Lightning Component development:



          force:project:create -n MyProject
          cd MyProject
          sfdx force:source:retrieve -m CustomObject
          sfdx force:source:retrieve -m ApexClass
          sfdx force:source:retrieve -m ApexPage
          sfdx force:source:retrieve -m ApexClass
          sfdx force:source:retrieve -m AuraDefinitionBundle
          sfdx force:source:retrieve -m LightningComponentBundle


          or you can use this nifty one-liner:



          sfdx force:source:retrieve -m CustomObject,ApexClass,ApexPage,ApexTrigger,LightningComponentBundle,AuraDefinitionBundle


          That will populate your source tree, and --sourcepath will work when it's pointed at one of those folders.

          Another option is to use the SFDX: Create Project With Manifest command in VS Code (equivalent to using sfdx force:project:create with the -x or --manifest option), which will create your project with a manifest/package .xml file, that includes wildcard selectors for all the custom code types: ApexClass, ApexComponent, ApexPage, ApexTestSuite, ApexTrigger, and AuraDefinitionBundle, as well as StaticResource. Once you've authorized to a dev org or sandbox org that has code in it, you can use SFDX: Retrieve Source in Manifest From Org within VS Code. You can right-click on the package.xml file or use the command palette to find the command. This command is equivalent to sfdx force:source:retrieve -x ./manifest/package.xml.
