Description

Controllers are created in the order they are registered with metadata, not in the order they are passed into the router controller options.

@Controller()
class ThirdController {
  @Get('/*')
  getAll() {
    return 'Third';
  }
}

@Controller()
class SecondController {
  @Get('/second/*')
  getAll() {
    return 'Second';
  }
}

@Controller()
class FirstController {
  @Get('/second/first/*')
  getAll() {
    return 'First';
  }
}

createExpressServer({
  controllers: [FirstController, SecondController, ThirdController],
})

Expected behavior

Requests are handle by the First controller, which is the first in the controller order, but last to be registered.

GET /second/first/any

First

Actual behavior

Requests are handle by the Third controller, which is the last in the controller order, but first to be registered.

GET /second/first/any

Third
