Odoo module upgrades, done for you

ParseError: Invalid view definition โ€” after upgrading Odoo

ParseError: Invalid view definition is the generic shell around dozens of upgrade breakages โ€” attrs, tree/list, removed fields, wrong xpath targets. The log usually names the file and line:

odoo.tools.convert.ParseError: while parsing my_module/views/views.xml:42
Error while validating view near:
    <field name="some_field_that_no_longer_exists"/>
Field "some_field_that_no_longer_exists" does not exist in model "sale.order"

The frustrating part: fixing one ParseError just reveals the next. A module crossing several versions typically has dozens queued up behind the first โ€” which is why we fix until the install is clean rather than patching the one line in the traceback.

Send us the module and target version. We fix every view error until install is clean. Try it live, then $50 to download.

Common questions

Why do I keep getting new ParseErrors after fixing one?

Odoo stops at the first invalid view per module load. Each fix lets validation reach the next broken view. The queue only ends when every view matches the target version's schema.
