Cannot use alias on / route

[TynesideGroup]

Version

2.5.3

Reproduction link

http://jsfiddle.net/9r6xhqbp/31/

Steps to reproduce

• Use an alias on base / route (alias does not work)
• Add a child to the aliased / route (alias child does not work)
• Give the aliased child route a name (throws "Duplicate named routes definition" warnings)

What is expected?

• Alias on base / route should work as expected
• Child routes on aliased / route should work as expected
• No "Duplicate named routes definition" warnings should be thrown on aliased base / child routes that have a name

What is actually happening?

• Alias on base / route does not work
• Children on aliased base / route do not work
• "Duplicate named route definition" warning is thrown for aliased base / child routes that have a name

As a workaround, you can set the path as /home and use / as the alias instead
But this looks like a bug, thanks!

Thanks @posva. Unfortunately the workaround doesn't solve the issue of the "Duplicate named routes definition" warning in the console when using named child routes, but I can live with that for now!

Thanks for confirming it is indeed a bug - look forward to seeing a solution soon 👍

The warning does gets suppressed on the fiddle

Yep, my bad - my Console was retaining history.

Would be nice to be able to declare / as the root path and alias it to something else rather than vice-versa though - at first glance to another developer it could appear my codebase doesn't have a base / route.
