I'm coding with Magento 2 in gvim and I am new to Magento 2.
There were many times i struggled to debug xml-related errors, well, each time with only luck.
But situations like this makes me really upset: you don't know where is the file that is causing this error, and the debugger doesn't tell neither .
Take the following I get this: an xml file is invalid. actually I've create a module which has module.xml, routes.xml, config.xml, {layout}.xml, di.xml under it's etc or view/layout dirs.
Which file's line 12/89/.. is invalid ? the generated /merged one ? I am lost because I find nothing in var/generated, and the commandline stops working .
What's the debugging way to find what this error is.?
Any help is appreciated.

The exception thrown tells you that you're using an element
<item />where your not allowed to use one. So yeah, your problem is probably XML-related.The first thing I do to make sure I write valid XML is setup my IDE so it can properly map the XSD-schemes. In PhpStorm you can do this by using the helper-thingy left to the
xsi-namespace:When all is set properly, your IDE will setup code completion for you and warn you if you're doing something that is not allowed:
I hope this helps you some.
