Hello Ricky Low,

Please have a look following difference between get_object_reference and _xmlid_lookup method.

@api.model
def get_object_reference(self, module, xml_id):
    """Returns (model, res_id) corresponding to a given module and xml_id (cached) or raise ValueError if not found"""

above mothod take 2 arguments(module and xml_id ) and return tuple (model, res_id)

# NEW V8 API
@api.model
@tools.ormcache('xmlid')
def _xmlid_lookup(self, xmlid):
    """Low level xmlid lookup
    Return (id, res_model, res_id) or raise ValueError if not found
    """

above mothod take only 1 arguments(xml_id ) and return tuple (id, model, res_id)

So As per latest code you have to pass only one argument which is xml_id to _xmlid_lookup method

_xmlid_lookup(xml)

Please have a look following example

action_id = self.env['ir.model.data']._xmlid_lookup('base_setup.action_general_configuration')[2]

Thanks & Regards,
