I really need guidance on this one. Hopes for suggestion. Thanks n Regards

Answer 1

I had the exact same issue when I was going to install a custom module on my live-server that I had developed on my test-server where it was working perfectly fine.

Finally to make it work I had to comment out everything except the -tags. Odoo would then install the view without any errors. Next I took away the comment-tags so I had the code intact again, I could make an update and odoo parsed the XML without errors.

I have no idea why this worked though.

Answer 2

Put the div class="oe_chatter" block inside the form tag. For clarification refer sale_view.xml of sale module
