Magento 2 - why is my plugin for \Magento\Sales\Block\Order\Email\Items\Order\DefaultOrder not working?

Question

I try to write an after plugin for the method getItemOptions of the class \Magento\Sales\Block\Order\Email\Items\Order\DefaultOrder

Attempt:

app/code/Company/Configurator/etc/di.xml

( I also tried app/code/Company/Configurator/etc/frontend/di.xml )

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">   
    <type name="Magento\Sales\Block\Order\Email\Items\Order\DefaultOrder">
        <plugin name="Company_Configurator_Plugin_Frontend_Magento_Sales_Block_Order_Email_Items_Order_DefaultOrder"
                type="Company\Configurator\Plugin\Frontend\Magento\Sales\Block\Order\Email\Items\Order\DefaultOrder"
                sortOrder="10"/>
    </type>
</config>

app/code/Company/Configurator/Plugin/Frontend/Magento/Sales/Block/Order/Email/Items/Order/DefaultOrder.php

<?php
/**

 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */
namespace Company\Configurator\Plugin\Frontend\Magento\Sales\Block\Order\Email\Items\Order;

class DefaultOrder extends \Magento\Sales\Block\Order\Email\Items\Order\DefaultOrder
{
    public function afterGetItemOptions(
        \Magento\Sales\Block\Order\Email\Items\Order\DefaultOrder $subject,
        $result
    ) {
        exit("test");
        return $result;
    }

}

But it is still calling the original Method and my exit is getting ignored.

• Im using Magento 2.4.2
• There is no other plugin for that class

Answer 1

It was because of the extends.

app/code/Company/Configurator/Plugin/Frontend/Magento/Sales/Block/Order/Email/Items/Order/DefaultOrder.php

Before:

<?php
/**
 * Copyright ©  All rights reserved.
 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */
namespace Company\Configurator\Plugin\Frontend\Magento\Sales\Block\Order\Email\Items\Order;

class DefaultOrder extends \Magento\Sales\Block\Order\Email\Items\Order\DefaultOrder
{
    public function afterGetItemOptions(
        \Magento\Sales\Block\Order\Email\Items\Order\DefaultOrder $subject,
        $result
    ) {
        exit("test");
        return $result;
    }

}

After:

<?php
/**
 * Copyright ©  All rights reserved.
 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */
namespace Company\Configurator\Plugin\Frontend\Magento\Sales\Block\Order\Email\Items\Order;

class DefaultOrder
{
    public function afterGetItemOptions(
        \Magento\Sales\Block\Order\Email\Items\Order\DefaultOrder $subject,
        $result
    ) {
        exit("test");
        return $result;
    }

}
