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

Question

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):
  File "/home/keith/src/odoo/odoo/service/server.py", line 1246, in preload_registries

odoo.tools.convert.ParseError: while parsing /custom/estate/views/estate_property_offer_views.xml:3
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="partner_id"/>
                <field name="validity"/>
                <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>

First thing i miss are `string` (labels) on the buttons. Did you try to add them? — CZoellner, Jan 10 '22 at 12:16
Yes I originally had `string` parameters but removed them because I only want to show the icons. The error still occurs with `string` parameters. — kpg, Jan 10 '22 at 13:54

Remove the style from the button on tree view

<button name="action_refuse" type="object" icon="fa-close"  states="new"/>

style attribute is not adapting in tree architecture for button only, you can do with class-based.

With CLass:

    <button name="action_refuse" type="object" icon="fa-close"  states="new" class="btn-primary my_class"/> <!--my_class your custom class  -->

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. You can check the (common.rng) file in the base module, no style attribute in the button definition.

To fix that error, you must remove the style attribute
