I get the following error while trying to install my custom addon module on odoo 9.0, what should I do to fix this?

Odoo Server Error

Hello Jeferson,

In your XMl file, there is an extra tag. So it gives error as extra content. Please Check your XML file.

UPDATE:-

Remove the <data></data> tag and try <odoo></odoo> tag instead of <openerp></openerp> tag.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<odoo>

// Your XML File

</odoo>

Thanks,

Qutechs, Ahmed M.Elmubarak

Hi, it should works fine with current tags

Mubaris ct

thanks Mehtha i had the same error and this answer worked

Ray Carnes (ray)

Also check that you don't use < or > (like if you want to define a string in your file that is actually an HTML 'a' link) and instead use < and > otherwise the parser will think you are defining tags.

rock_solid

there is not only extra tag can cause the problem,but also some misstyping , open the xml file with IE and you'll find the extra content easily,then delete it

Hello all,

I facing same issue but I solved out my mistake.

Kindly check xml tag spelling. It might be code have wrong spelling.

like..

True <menuitem>

wrong <menitem>

True word is sequence

Wrong word is seqence

Hope this help you.

Best Thanks,

Ankit H Gandhi.

In my case that was just a mistyping of web_icon form a menu, i wrote web-icon instead :

<menuitem id="purchase_menu" name="Achats"
web_icon="......."
sequence=""/>

Hi,

I think your code has a lot of issues. But I think the one which generated this error is that you're putting the <button> field out side the <tree tag

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<data>

<field name="name">order.tree</field>

<field name="model">helpdesk.order</field>

</tree>

</field>

<button string="New Order" name="%(action_order_form_view)d" type="action"/>

<p class="oe_view_nocontent_create">Create the first order</p>

</field>

</record>

Try to remove or comment this line and try again ...

@Dep and @Jignesh I checked my code and I can't find any extra tag or close tag missing. I understand through the log that this problem is because of <data></data>, but this doesn't make sense. Please can someone look at my code and help me.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<data>

<field name="name">order.tree</field>

<field name="model">helpdesk.order</field>

Try with my updated code.

I got the same error and it is due to miss placing tag <record> instead of <act_window>

Thanks..

ABU K
