Having moved the code from odoo16 to odoo17, I ran into the following error. 

raise ParseError(msg) from None  # Restart with "--log-handler odoo.tools.convert:DEBUG" for complete traceback
odoo.tools.convert.ParseError: while parsing /opt/odoo17/odoo/addons/gb_hr_payroll_community/views/res_config_settings_views.xml:11
Error while parsing or validating view:

Element '' cannot be located in parent view

View error context:
{'file': '/opt/odoo17/odoo/addons/gb_hr_payroll_community/views/res_config_settings_views.xml',
 'line': 2,
 'name': 'res.config.settings.view.form.inherit.hr.payroll',
 'view': ir.ui.view(3364,),
 'view.model': 'res.config.settings',
 'view.parent': ir.ui.view(176,),
 'xmlid': 'res_config_settings_view_form_payroll'}                  

What steps should I follow to fix this?

Hi,

In odoo 17 there is so many changes had occurred inside res config settings. So make clear that you are xpathing the correct location

example:

<record id="res_config_settings_view_form" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="model">res.config.settings</field>
        <field name="inherit_id"
ref="base_setup.res_config_settings_view_form"/>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//setting[@id='mail_templates_setting']"
                   position="after">
                <setting id="company_share_product"
                         string="Inter Company features"
                         help="Automatically generate counterpart documents for orders/invoices between companies "
                         company_dependent="1">
                    <div class="content-group">
                        <div class="mt16">
                            <field name="company_share_product"/>
                            <label string="Common Product Catalog"
                                   for="company_share_product" class="o_light_label"/>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </setting>

       </xpath>

</field>

</record>


Hope it helps

Sorry, later I just added the hr_payroll in depends. Now it shows new error.

You try to install module 'gb_hr_payroll_community' that depends on module 'hr_payroll'.
But the latter module is not available in your system.

Hello Cruz

//setting[@id='display_payslip]" replace with this --> //setting[@id='display_payslip']"

--You have not used ' in above code after payslip

Do step 1:- install hr_payroll first and then install your module

​Step 2 :- Install your module through terminal using -i 'Your module name' if you doing it locally

Thanks
