unable to retrieve the visualforce page tab

Question

I want to retrieve and deploy the custom visualforce tab page from salesforce environment. I tried so far the following piece of the block in package.xml but could not retrieve the custom visualforce page.

 <types>
    <members>VOIP_Settings</members>
    <name>CustomTab</name>
</types>

This block allows to fetch custom tab but it seems it is not fetching the custom visualforce page tab. I tried to hunt a lot but could not find a way to retrieve the visualforce custom tab from the org.

Answer 1

You need to retrieve it like this:

<types>
  <members>TabName.tab</members>
  <name>CustomTab</name>
</types>
