Composer 2 puts harvesthq/chosen in wrong folder

I came late to this issue queue, but after going through all the comments #47 worked for me. If you are following comment #17 then you must have "oomphinc/composer-installers-extender": "^1.0" version other you will get the same error(as per #27).

Just to lay it out, to install drual/chosen (and therefore install jjj/chosen to the correct place) with composer you need to do the following:

1. composer require wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin
2. add the following to the "extra" section of your composer.json:
   

   "merge-plugin": {
     "include": [
       "web/modules/contrib/chosen/composer.libraries.json"
       ]
   },

3. composer require 'drupal/chosen:^4.0' -W

As per #3069730 to not use wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin I was able to get drupal/chosen and jjj/chosent to install correctly by:

1) Manually add to "repositories" section

    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "package",
            "package": {
                "name": "jjj/chosen",
                "version": "2.2.1",
                "type": "drupal-library",
                "extra": {
                    "installer-name": "chosen"
                },
                "source": {
                    "url": "https://github.com/JJJ/chosen.git",
                    "type": "git",
                    "reference": "2.2.1"
                }
            }
        }

2) Then from your project's root directory

composer require 'drupal/chosen:^4.0'
composer require 'jjj/chosen:^2.2'
