Overriding layout does not work as intended

Artis Plocins

According to the hierarchy diagram, if I copy clients/base/layouts/drawer layout to custom/modules/Calls/clients/base/drawer and modify anything (like add a console.log message in the initialise function), Sugar must load my custom layout instead of the core one and I should be able to see the change (the log message, in this case).

I even added a console.log message to the original drawer view while overriding it and I can see that after repairing and reloading Sugar only keeps showing that the original view is being initialised rather than the override.

How can I override the drawer layout in this case? My goal is to significantly modify the layout, so extending it would be impractical (and that does not work either - it's a layout, not a view. even though the JS file is like a view controller... I am confused).

    custom/modules/Calls/clients/base/layouts/drawer

    Thanks, although putting the drawer override there did not make it work.

    I'm thinking it also makes sense that if the drawer is initialised right when Sugar loads, it has nothing to do with modules.

    So let's override it where modules don't matter! And I tried putting the override in custom/application/clients/base/layouts/drawer which had no effect again.
