I want to replace a JS file in Odoo 9.

This is the original xml file in the web_editor addon located in web_editor/views/editor.xml:

editor.xml (original)

<openerp>
    <template id="editor" name="Editor">
        ...
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/web_editor/static/src/js/transcoder.js"></script>
        ...
    </template>
</openerp>

I have created a module (addon_extra) with my JS file and this xml view:

editor.xml (custom)

<openerp>
    <template id="web_editor.editor" name="Editor">
        ...
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/my_module/static/src/js/transcoder.js"></script>
        ....
    </template>
</openerp>

__openerp__.py:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
{
    'name': 'My Module',
    'version': '1.0',
    'category': 'web',
    'depends': ['web_editor'],
    'data': ['views/editor.xml'],
    'demo': [],
    'test': [],
    'installable': True,
    'application': False,
    'auto_install': False,
}

But that doesn't work. When I try to install it, an error appears:

Uncaught Error: Widget type 'html' is not implemented
http://myserver:8069/web/static/src/js/views/form_view.js:1331

You can replace file with your file using xpath expression.

<openerp>
    <template id="editor_inherit" inherit_id="web_editor.editor" name="web_editor inherited editor">
        <xpath expr="//script[@src='/web_editor/static/src/js/transcoder.js']" position="replace">
            <!-- Your module Js File -->
        </xpath>
    </template>
</openerp>

You can try something like this:

<openerp>
    <template inherit_id="web_editor.editor" name="Editor">
        <xpath expr="." position="inside">
            <script type="text/javascript" src="/my_module/static/src/js/transcoder.js"></script>
        </xpath>
    </template>
</openerp>

I hope this can be helpful for you.
