[schiller-manuel]

can you add a test for this?

[schiller-manuel]

also wondering if this maybe needs a fix in the router generator instead? what's the idea of your fix here?

Just because only a pathless layout file exists doesn’t mean there’s no route.
Do you think it’s more appropriate to handle this in the generator instead?

[schiller-manuel]

yes I think so. the generator currently generates a "virtual route" in this situation. this is then matched at runtime
