Trouble with flat folder routing

[koko236]

Hi,

using current version of Remix (v2.16.5). I want to use folder based routes described here in docs but I have problems with nested routes. As a minimal example I just created a bare app with npx create-remix@latest and then did only the following:

1. I created routes/aaa.aa/route.tsx which shows under path /aaa/aa.
2. However as soon as I add routes/aaa/route.tsx, it swallows everything under /aaa/*** so both /aaa and /aaa/aa show page from routes/aaa/route.tsx.
3. I also tried routes/aaa._index/route.tsx but exactly the same thing happens.
4. Renaming the folder /routes/aaa to anything else like routes/aaab makes /aaa/aa instantly work.

I can create minimal reproducible example repo if there's nothing obviously wrong in my approach but I hope there is. :-)

Ok, for posterity. Seems like I missed the layout nesting thing, ie. when you create nested URL, pages want to nest by default so aaa needs where it can render aaa/aa. Not really sure why it's default behaviour, but you can opt out from that by putting underscore at the end of segment, eg. aaa_.aa/route.tsx will render the route ignoring aaa.route.tsx.
