How to find XPath on Odoo?

I need to find correct XPath to product id on Odoo 9. I have tried this but it is complaining that "string" has some problem.

Error details:

View inheritance may not use attribute 'string' as a selector.

Code:

 <xpath expr="//page[@string='Order Lines']/field[@name='order_line']/form[@string='Sales Order Lines']/group/group/field[@name='product_id']" position="before">
     <field name="image_small" widget="image"/>
 </xpath>

In odoo v9, you does not permitted to use string as selector in xpath. So it is good practice to use name as selector in xpath.

You should try following :

<xpath expr="//page/field[@name='order_line']/form/group/group/field[@name='product_id']" position="before">
    <field name="image_small" widget="image"/>
</xpath>

Or you can also write xpath like that,

<xpath expr="//field[@name='order_line']//form//field[@name='product_id']" position="before">
    <field name="image_small" widget="image"/>
</xpath>

Is there really a need for such a detailed selector? It seems that selector as simple as this would do the job perfectly well:

<xpath expr="//field[@name='product_id']" position="before">
    <field name="image_small" widget="image"/>
</xpath>
