Hi,

for the life of me I don't get what is wrong with this xml file and when I try to install the module I get: 

AssertionError: Element odoo has extra content: record, line 4
My XML


  • hr.expense.view.form
    hr.expense

<record id="hr_expense_view_form" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">hr.expense.view.form</field>
<field name="model">hr.expense</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//field[@name='product_uom_id']" position="after">
<label for="x_total_price_divided_by_6" string="VAT"/>
<field name="x_total_price_divided_by_6"/>
</xpath>
</field>
<field name="depends">
<module name="lrukvat"/>
</field>
</record>

Hi,
The added code in the comment was not in the proper syntax, it was a mix of adding new form and inheriting an existing form.

So if you are trying to inherit and add the form, specify the record to inherit using the inherit_id key and using the xpath expression locate the node and perform the needed operation.

Thanks

You most likely have an incorrect xml. Read this post: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/nasty-assertion-error-element-odoo-has-extra-content-malekinejad/. I also had a typo that would have never found. My IDE also didn't highlight it.

Please enter the code properly for reference. This error usually occurs when there’s extra element in the record. Like an additional attribute or extra field which don’t belong to the model.
