I have Odoo 13 set up with an oca_addons directory and also another directory for my custom module.

The oca_addons includes mail_quoted_reply. There are a few other oca_addons installed as well.

I want to modify one of the functions in mail_message_reply.js

However I can’t get it to work as no matter what I try it looks like the oca_addon, or at least the javascript file, is being loaded after mine, essentially overriding the changes I make because the original JavaScript function is being called instead of my inherited one.

What I have tried:

1. In my module’s manifest, include ‘mail_quoted_reply’ in depends to force it to load before my module.
2. Create a separate assets template and set priority=”1″ to try and force it to take priority.

EDIT – Added JavaScript file.

odoo.define("my_module.mail_message_reply_override", function (require) {
"use strict";

const MailThread = require('mail.widget.Thread');

MailThread.include({
    events: _.extend({}, MailThread.prototype.events, {
        "click .o_thread_mail_message_reply": "_onClickMailMessageReply",
    }),
    _onClickMailMessageReply: function (event) {
        console.log("This never prints")
    },
});
