• Harshith S: Hi, did you find anything to resolve this, im facing the same issue. Magento version: 2.3.1

Answer 2

You should put this in module.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
 <module name="My_Sales" setup_version="0.0.1">
 <sequence> 
 <module name="Magento_Checkout" />
 </sequence>
 </module>
</config>

Its depends which module you trying rewrite file

• Max28: I have already added Magento_Sales, dependent module in module.xml. Issue is when the page loads and displays,the changes done in custom template file is not getting reflected. after refreshing the same page, the changes are reflecting.
• Serhii Havrylchuk: maybe first time it was cache?
• Max28: i tried enabling template hints and checked.on first load,it shows vendor folder template file.then after refresh it showed custom module template.
• Max28: This happens alternatively on each refresh
• Serhii Havrylchuk: what is the magento version?
