i hope it is use full

Hi,

The issue here is with the syntax of your xpath expression.

When targeting an element by its id, you should use @id, and for classes, hasclass('class_name'). In your code, the first xpath expression is written like this:

<xpath expr="//ul['id=oe_applications']" position="replace">

This is incorrect and will cause the error you’re seeing: "the element '' cannot be located in parent view."

To fix it, update the line to:

<xpath expr="//ul[@id='oe_applications']" position="replace">

Once you make that change, the element should be located properly, and the error should be resolved.

Hope it helps!
