Visual Studio not pull any objects from Salesforce

Question

I have all the classes and everything else but I could not get the any objects in MS VS Code. What am I doing wrong? I did use SFDX: Retrieve Source in Manifest but that did not help either.

This is what I have tried so far. Where am I making the mistake?

    <types>
        <member>Account</members>
        <name>StandardObject</name>
    </types>


    <types>
    <member>*</members>
    <name>StandardObject</name>
   </types>


   <types>
        <member>*</members>
        <name>CustomObject</name>
    </types>

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You'll need to include custom objects in your manifest in order to retrieve them.

Add an entry like

<types>
     <members>*</members>
     <name>CustomObject</name>
</types>

to your package.xml to retrieve all custom objects.

Note that this will not retrieve customizations to standard objects. You'll need to add an individual <members> line for each standard object you wish to retrieve.

Edit

There is no such entity as StandardObject. Customizations to standard objects are retrieved with the CustomObject entity, but you must specify each one individually by name. The wildcard * is not supported for retrieval of standard object customizations.

For example:

<types>
     <members>*</members>
     <members>Account</members>
     <members>Opportunity</members>
     <name>CustomObject</name>
</types>
