clj -M: ignores :extra-paths in alias

Question

Hi,

it seems there is a bug with using clj -M:foo with :extra-paths in :aliases the classpath seems to not include the extra-paths

deps.edn

{:aliases
 {:foo
  {:extra-paths ["dev"]
   :main-opts ["-m" "foo"]}}}

dev/foo.clj

(ns foo)

(defn -main
  [& args]
  (println "hello world"))

When running

clj -M:foo

We get

Execution error (FileNotFoundException) at clojure.main/main
(main.java:40). Could not locate foo__init.class, foo.clj or foo.cljc
on classpath.

Full report at: /tmp/clojure-8075946726191297006.edn

Whereas

clj -A:foo -m foo

gives

hello world

this difference is also visible via -Spath

clj -Spath -M:foo

clj -Spath -A:foo

Run clojure -Sdescribe -- you need to be on at least 1.10.1.697 for the updated -M behavior.

Agreed, I can't repro on latest.
