Using alias in extra config-plugin

[fcaldarelli]

I'm using an alias inside extra config-plugin.

This is from yii-console package:

    "extra": {
        "branch-alias": {
            "dev-master": "3.0.x-dev"
        },
        "config-plugin": {
            "params": "config/params.php",
            "console": "config/console.php",
            "tests": "$console"
        }
    },

or "tests": ["$console"] , the result is the same.

The output is this:

  'console' => 
  array (
    0 => '$common',
    1 => $baseDir . '/config/console.php',
  ),
  'web' => 
  array (
    0 => '$common',
    1 => $baseDir . '/vendor/yiisoft/yii-web/config/web.php',
  ),
  'tests' => 
  array (
    0 => '$console',
    1 => $baseDir . '/vendor/yiisoft/yii-core/config/tests.php',
    2 => '$web',
    3 => $baseDir . '/vendor/yiisoft/view/config/tests.php',
    4 => $baseDir . '/vendor/yiisoft/db-mysql/config/tests.php',
    5 => '$common',
    6 => $baseDir . '/vendor/yiisoft/db-sqlite/config/tests.php',
  ),

so console block will be overridden by all other configurations.

Finally, if I open tests.php, I have:

  'response' => 
  array (
    '__class' => 'yii\\web\\Response',
    'formatters' => 
    array (
      'html' => 
      array (
        '__class' => 'yii\\web\\formatters\\HtmlResponseFormatter',
      ),
      'xml' => 
      array (
        '__class' => 'yii\\web\\formatters\\XmlResponseFormatter',
      ),
      'json' => 
      array (
        '__class' => 'yii\\web\\formatters\\JsonResponseFormatter',
      ),
      'jsonp' => 
      array (
        '__class' => 'yii\\web\\formatters\\JsonResponseFormatter',
        'useJsonp' => true,
      ),
    ),
  ),

when 'response' should have yii\console\Response class.

The fastest solution that I found is to use direct definition in config-plugin:

"tests": "config/console.php",

This is serious problem that is there from very beginning.
I have ideas how to fix it. Looks like time has come to fix it finally :)

Why do you think that it is a serious problem?

Ok, but we can always set manually:

"tests": "config/console.php",
