[BUG] Children Controller Routes should be declared before parent

[EinfachHans]

Describe the bug

I have the following setup:

@Controller({
  path: '/parent',
  children: [ChildrenController]
})
export class ParentController {

  @Post(':id')
  public updateUser() { ... }
}

@Controller('/children')
export class ChildrenController {

  @Post()
  public async getAll() { ... }

}

when performing a POST against /parent/children, this is mapped into the post of the ParentController, because children also matches :id.

To Reproduce

See above, let me know if you need a repo

Expected behavior

I think children routes should be always declared before the parent routes, does this make sense or brings other problems i don't see atm? 🤔

Hello @EinfachHans You've right, but changing that is probably a breaking change :(

Let me get a time to test if it's possible.

See you Romain Lenzotti

@Romakita maybe we could make this as a "opt-in" feature first via the configuration, then change the default & deprecate in next major and remove the config again in the next major after that?

[Romakita]

Yes, when can try to do that.

The problem is probably located here: https://github.com/tsedio/tsed/blob/980ba21207f29e5e1f57d66240e59f65c0ecef9d/packages/platform/platform-router/src/domain/PlatformRouters.ts#L63

I'm a bit over staffed to do that. But If somebody had a time to add the opt-in, I'll be happy to review the PR ;) It doesn't seems to be a huge work to add that :)

See you @EinfachHans

@Romakita Do you have a suggested name for the config parameter?

[Romakita]

Hum 😅... maybe appendNestedRoutesBefore ?

@Romakita just want to start a new PR. I tried to get the tests run in the current production branch, without changed made and get the following error:

Any idea why?

[Romakita]

Just run test for the concerned package ;)

Run entire test on this repo will take along time.

Also have you installed the project using ˋyarn install` ?

See you

[EinfachHans]

Yes, only running the platform-router tests works, but anyway it's weird that i can't run the engine tests in a new fresh environment. Of course i installed the dependencies, i followed the contributing guide 🤔
