odoo.tools.convert.ParseError when restarting odoo-bin

I am working through the developer tutorial here.

I have added two action buttons to a tree view.

Everything worked fine until I restarted the server after adding the button tags to the XML view. I then received the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Invalid view estate.property.offer.tree (estate.estate_property_offer_view_tree) definition in estate/views/estate_property_offer_views.xml

View error context:
'-no context-'

If I remove the button tags, the server starts without error (./odoo-bin --addons-path=../custom,addons -d rd-demo -u estate --dev xml).

I can then add the buttons back and they work correctly but as soon as I restart the server, I get the error again.

Here is the complete record from the view:

    <record id="estate_property_offer_view_tree" model="ir.ui.view">
        <field name="name">estate.property.offer.tree</field>
        <field name="model">estate.property.offer</field>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <tree string="Offers">
                <field name="price"/>

                <field name="date_deadline"/>
                <field name="state"/>
                
                <button name="action_accept" type="object" icon="fa-check" style="color:green" states="new"/>
                <button name="action_refuse" type="object" icon="fa-close" style="color:red" states="new"/>
                
            </tree>
        </field>
    </record>
Solution

  • To fix the error, you must remove the style attribute. You can check the (common.rng) file in the base module, no style attribute in the button definition.

    The view validation will fail when it calls the relaxng method and will raise the following error:

    ERROR:RELAXNGV:RELAXNG_ERR_INVALIDATTR: Invalid attribute style for element button

    It is called to validate the following views: calendar, graph, pivot, search, tree, activity.
