WooCommerce: How to disable redirect, if the table is empty so as to keep an empty table

by

I am quite new to Woocommerce, however i do find the plugin very interesting, one thing that i would like to know is:

  • When on cart-page, if you were to empty the table via:

  • WC()->cart->empty_cart()
    OR

  • foreach item in the table:
    WC()->cart->set_quantity("cart_item_key_id" , 0)

You would get redirected to the "Cart is empty" display where only this message is displayed. The table would however disappear and also not be part of the DOM.

Question

How to make sure that the table remains in the place even if it doesn’t have any items ? Or alternatively while having an child-theme with all the files, one example: your-theme/woocommerce/cart/cart.php, how to, while being on the cart-page and seeing the “cart is empty” message, modify the cart.php so, add an item programmtically and regenerate the table.

What i tried

Removed the woocommerce_cart_is_empty message via
remove_action( 'woocommerce_cart_is_empty', 'wc_empty_cart_message', 10 ); which was added to functions.php file.

It did remove the message, however it didnt fix the problem, that the table is also gone.
Cart-page without the “cart is empty” message
