Unable to acces view in Odoo - view

Question

I'm trying to define custom settings in Odoo. I used this link to help me http://ludwiktrammer.github.io/odoo/custom-settings-odoo.html.
I replaced
<menuitem id="your_settings_menu" name="Your settings"
parent="base.menu_config" action="your_settings_action"/>
by
<menuitem id="mattermost_settings_menu" name="Mattermost settings" parent="base.menu_administration"
action="mattermost_settings_action" />
Because I had this error: External ID not found in the system: base.menu_config"
Now, there is no compilation error and when I click on the menu I have this error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'settingView' of undefined
http://127.0.0.1:8069/web/content/514-0b4bd55/web.assets_backend.js:5
Traceback:

Here is my xml file:
<record id="res_config_settings_mm" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">Mattermost config</field>
<field name="model">mattermost.settings</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<form string="Your configuration" class="oe_form_configuration">
<header>
<button string="Save" type="object"
name="execute" class="oe_highlight"/>
or
<button string="Cancel" type="object"
name="cancel" class="oe_link"/>
</header>
<group string="Company">
<label for="id" string="Name & Phone"/>
<div>
<div>
<label for="company_name"/>
<field name="company_name"/>
</div>
<div>
<label for="company_phone"/>
<field name="company_phone"/>
</div>
</div>
</group>
</form>
</field>
</record>
<record id="mattermost_settings_action" model="ir.actions.act_window">
<field name="name">Mattermost config</field>
<field name="res_model">mattermost.settings</field>
<field name="view_id" ref="res_config_settings_mm"/>
<field name="view_mode">form</field>
<field name="target">inline</field>
</record>
<menuitem id="mattermost_settings_menu" name="Mattermost settings" parent="base.menu_administration"
action="mattermost_settings_action" />
Here is my python file:
class MattermostConfig(models.TransientModel):
_inherit = 'res.config.settings'
_name = 'mattermost.settings'
company_name = fields.Char()
company_phone = fields.Char()
#api.model
def get_default_company_values(self, fields):
_logger.critical('\n\nget_default_company_values\n\n')
company = self.env.user.company_id
return {
'company_name': company.name,
'company_phone': company.phone,
}
#api.one
def set_company_values(self):
_logger.critical('\n\nset_company_values\n\n')
company = self.env.user.company_id
company.name = self.company_name
company.phone = self.company_phone
Do you know how to resolve this ?

Answer 1

First, base.menu_config is base_setup.menu_config in new versions of Odoo.
Second, on the log you are showing, the problem lies in a view that inherits from assets backend. So, if the problem persists and you have a Bash shell, you could try the following:
cd <your_module's_directory>
find . -type f -exec grep -I -n "settingView"
else you could comment all your XML files at the __manifest__.py file and then uncomment them one by one.
