Odoo will raise odoo.tools.convert.ParseError: "Invalid number of arguments" because of contains function used in div.

You can check in the XPath documentation provided by Odoo that contains is a function to manipulate strings:

contains(s1, s2)
    returns true if s1 contains s2

Use XPath to locate the div with o_kanban_manage_button_section class and make it invisible.

Example:

<record id="view_pos_config_kanban" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">pos.config.kanban.view</field>
    <field name="model">pos.config</field>
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="point_of_sale.view_pos_config_kanban"/>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <xpath expr="//t/div/div/div[@class='o_kanban_manage_button_section']" position="attributes">
            <attribute name="invisible">True</attribute>
        </xpath>
    </field>
</record>

thanks for your answer , it give me hint to solution , i was wrongly located the div i want — Hashim khalid, Aug 13 '20 at 08:02

This kind of XPATH is very risky It will break by other xpath that addes div, when I target a div that don't have a name or a special class I target a special child inside then go up to it, `//field[@name='dummy']/parent::div` and you can keep going up as much as you want as i remember, bottom line avoid using index of element as much as possible – Charif DZ Aug 14 '20 at 15:40
And onething more dont use `@class='value'` instead use `hasclass('value')` because class can change a lot especially in website templates by other modules – Charif DZ Aug 14 '20 at 15:43
