How do I deal with the "Invalid XML for View Architecture!" error?

Question

Let's just say I hand craft some lovely XML for a view, update the module and am brought to a screeching halt by this error message:

except_orm: ('ValidateError', u'Error occurred while validating the field(s) arch: Invalid XML for View Architecture!')

How would you approach resolving this issue?

Is there a way to see more detail about what the complaint is?

Would you cut out everything inside

<field name="arch" type="xml"> </field>

then add it back a piece at a time until the error shows up again?

You can see more details about the error (offending view, what is the problem) in the server log file.

It is sometimes more convenient not to work with OpenERP as a service when developing. If you run openerp-server without the --log-file option, it should output to stdout . ( /path/to/openerp-server --config=/path/to/openerp-server.conf --debug )

In a general manner, when you develop, you better have to activate the debug logging's level, so you'll have more details about the errors in the lo
