I'm trying to install a new module and I get the following error:

RPC_ERROR

The above server error caused the following client error:

RPC_ERROR: Odoo Server Error

    RPC_ERROR

        at makeErrorFromResponse (http://localhost:8069/web/assets/1/633c130/web.assets_web.min.js:2907:163)

        at XMLHttpRequest.<anonymous> (http://localhost:8069/web/assets/1/633c130/web.assets_web.min.js:2911:13)

This module is already deployed on another server in the company and it works there, but when I try to run it locally, that's what happens.

Even if I remove the view that causes the error from the manifest, the next view in the module throws the same error. Other modules don't have this problem.

Here's the code from project_project.xml file:

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

    <record id="view_project_kanban_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">
        <field name="name">view.project.kanban.inherit</field>
        <field name="model">project.project</field>
        <field name="priority" eval="100"/>
        <field name="inherit_id" ref="project.view_project_kanban"/>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            ...
	​	​    <!-- some code -->
        </field>
    </record>

</odoo>

The error apparently comes from the line 4. I've tried changing record id, name, priority or the contents of the <field name="arch" type="xml"> tag, but it didn't help.

Some possibly related issues at Odoo's GitHub (#163465) were saying to install lxml-html-clean, but I already have it.
