I am getting this error while trying to fetch(retrieve) source from VS Code and SF Extension Pack.
STR :
Right click on sfdx-project-json -> click on Retreiev Source from Org.
The file is present in the directory. So the problem doesn’t exist here.

Method 1
The problem is that your sfdx-project.json file isn’t a source file that can be retrieved. You’ll need to select something valid to retrieve.
This can be a particular metadata file (e.g., a specific class file to retrieve just that class), a folder (e.g., the classes folder to retrieve all classes in the folder) or a manifest (package.xml file).
Method 2
While retrieving using sfdx:force:source:retrieve --manifest <path of Package.xml> was getting InvalidPackageDirectory error.
Steps:
- Go to Package.xml file
- Right-click on this file and select “Retrieve Source in Manifest from Org.
Resolution:
From sfdx-project.json file removed unnecessary path.
My sfdx-project.json looks like this.
