I'm just following the tutorial step by step and even in this way I'm getting an error. Here in Extend the default Header chapter -> https://www.odoo.com/documentation/12.0/howtos/themes.html#extend-the-default-header
In Website/Configuration/Apps I install my theme, and then in Website/Configuration/Settings I click the button Choose Theme, and once there I select my theme for use.
However at this point an error message like this appears:
Error:

odoo.tools.convert.ParseError: "theme.ir.ui.view" while parsing None:4, near
<data inherit_id="website.layout" name="Custom Header">
<!-- Assign an id -->
<xpath expr="//div[@id='wrapwrap']/header" position="attributes">
<attribute name="id">my_header</attribute>
</xpath>
<!-- Add an element after the top menu -->
<xpath expr="//div[@id='wrapwrap']/header/div" position="after">
<div class="container">
<div class="alert alert-info mt16" role="alert">
<strong>Welcome</strong> in our website!
</div>
</div>
</xpath>
</data>
What am I doing wrong? is it me or the tutorial is not updated?
Just to clarify, although at the bottom of the traceback appear a <data></data> tags, it's only here where is like this, because in my code at that position I have a <template></template> tags.
After many hours searching on the Internet for an answer to my question. I found that the problems were two in fact.
The first one is the need to append the 'website_theme_install' app in my depends in the manifest.py. It's not said anywhere in the tutorial, and I don't know why it was already installed in my Odoo instance, maybe is default in Odoo 12.0. This is what caused the KeyError: 'theme.ir.ui.view'.
The second was the fact that in the website.layout template which is itself inherited from the portal.frontend_layout template there is no div after the header, actually there we have a nav, but not a div just after the header like was searched here:
<xpath expr="//div[@id='wrapwrap']/header/div" position="after">
So I had to change it to:
<xpath expr="//div[@id='wrapwrap']/header/nav" position="after">
Cause there was a nav at that position. Didn't changing this was throwing a ParseError.
After change this it was working perfectly. Hope this can be helpful for others
