Develop an App with CLI and Source Control

Hi Friends, 

I am trying to work though the Trailhead Project Develop an App with CLI and Source Control.  When I try to pull down my source from the  CLI I get the following error.

ERROR running force:source:retrieve:  A default package path string is required for SourceWorkspaceAdapter.

With the JSON flag the following is returned.

Thank you in advance for any thoughts on solving this. 
  
$ sfdx force:source:retrieve --manifest assets/package.xml --targetusername pdii --wait 10 --json
