I have to override Magento_Sales::order/items.phtml frontend template in custom module. I have added below code to sales_order_view.xml file of my module.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
    <referenceBlock name="order_items">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Vendor_Module::order/items.phtml</argument>
        </arguments>
    </referenceBlock>
</body>
</page>

It throws below exception

Exception #0 (Magento\Framework\Config\Dom\ValidationException): Element 'arguments': This element is not expected.

How I can override mentioned phtml file ? I have followed this answer but it throws same exception.

Edit: As action node is deprecated, I do not want to use it.

You need to use the below code for your sales_order_view.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
    <referenceBlock name="order_items">
        <action method="setTemplate">
            <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Vendor_Module::order/items.phtml</argument>
        </action>
    </referenceBlock>
</body>
</page>

Alternative solution:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="order_items" template="Vendor_Module::order/items.phtml"/>
    </body>
</page>

  • No you can use it in magento 2 as well but not like magento 1.

  • Yes but you can still use. Which version of magento you are using? Can you try it by adding it to your code?

  • I am using 2.2.5 and will keep upgrading it so in future it might cause issue.

Try below solution:

 <referenceBlock name="order_items">
            <action method="setTemplate">
                <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Vendor_Module::order/items.phtml</argument>
            </action>

    </referenceBlock>

If you want to override front end template than you have to specify action method. without action Magento can't interpret what you want to override.

So try below code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
    <referenceBlock name="order_items">
        <action method="setTemplate">
            <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Vendor_Module::order/items.phtml</argument>
        </action>
    </referenceBlock>
</body>
</page>
