Routing conflict not detected in nested groups

[philippone]

Describe the bug

I run into this issue by using the awesome vite-plugin-kit-routes. The issue describes the same problem but I guess Sveltekit should complain about conflicting routes to solve the issue.

I have the following route structure:

routes
└── (group)
    └── base
        ├── +page.svelte
        └── (optional-group)
            └── [[optionalParam]]
                └── +page.svelte

This generates the following routes

• (group)/base
• (group)/base/(optional-group)/[[optionalParam]]

(Un)Fortunately, the paths are actually resolving the correct page.svelte

• /base -> (group)/base
• /base/myparam -> (group)/base/(optional-group)/[[optionalParam]]

If I remove one of the groups, (group) or (optional-group), I got the following error message:

The "/base" and "/base/(optional-group)/[[optionalParam]]" routes conflict with each other

I guess the error should also appear when using the groups?

To use this route structure correctly

• change [[optionalParam]] to [requiredParam]
• remove the conflicting page (group)base/+page.ts

I would expect there not to be an error at all, regardless of groups, instead the sorting rules should apply.
