YAML routing host overrides annotations

Description

Looking for a way to set the default hostname for routes, this SO answer should be correct, but as a comment notes, setting the host name in YAML clobbers any and all annotations parsed thereafter.

That is, YAML that defines an annotations/attributes resource must be parsed before the attributes:

# config/routes/routes.yaml

controllers:
  resource:
    path: ../../src
    namespace: Foo\Bar
  type: attribute
  host: example.com

So it follows that logically that which is parsed later should override that which is declared earlier.

#[Route(host: 'example.org')]
final class Foo extends AbstractController {}

Yet it does not: setting the host in YAML clobbers all Route() attributes. Thus it appears impossible to set a default host since we are not in control of this parse order.

How to reproduce

See above.

Probably not a bug as it is the documented behaviour.

You can also set the host option when importing routes to make all of them require that host name.

Did you try with parameters in the host + defaults values ? (i did not tried but this seems a potential solution)

[derrabus]

When importing routes, you can define settings that are applied to all imported routes. Yes, this is not a default. It's an override for the whole route collection.

Closing as this is not a bug.

Well you don't need to close it, you could just convert it to a feature request.
