Everything was running fine, but when I choose a new database and try to install/activate the module again this error was coming, prior it was working fine when I changed some views of different models.

This is the code where parse error is :

Its a form view with chatter.


 <record id="office_employee_view_form" model="ir.ui.view">
        <field name="name">office.employee.view.formfield>
        <field name="model">office.employeefield>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">

            <form string="Office_Employee_Form_View">

Hi,

As it stated, there is something wrong inside the specified xml file, it may be wrong syntax or some wrong content placed at the wrong place.

As in the error message see what is the line 23 of the line and see if everything is properly written.

Thanks

Thanks for responding, I have mentioned, it is the form view with chatter which is on line 23 which the error says, inside my code. Here is a link to complete file and project please see.
