Auto icons doesnt override default icons

[marcellino-ornelas]

Describe the bug

Thank you for this library 🙌🏽 I love it already.

I ran into a issue today using the auto icons library. I noticed in the output that it said the default icons would be overrided but it instead looks like it made a separate directory and didn't override them

It also chose to use the default icon in the extension instead of using the new icon I added 😃

Reproduction

Our repo is private so I cant share but added steps I did to the next section

Steps to reproduce

• have default icons in the public folder public/icon/*
• install auto icons
• add the @wxt-dev/auto-icons to modules
• add a icon to <src>/assets/icon.png
• run npm run dev

When the browser spins up, you will still see the old wxt icon and not the new icon you added

Thanks for opening an issue. This does seem to be unintended... It should log a warning and overwrite them:

wxt/packages/auto-icons/src/index.ts

Lines 34 to 37 in 31071bd

	if (manifest.icons)
	return wxt.logger.warn(
	'`[auto-icons]` icons property found in manifest, overwriting with auto-generated icons',
	);

The build:manifestGenerated hook should run after we discover icons, so not sure why this is happening off the top of my head.

wxt/packages/wxt/src/core/utils/manifest.ts

Line 126 in 31071bd

await wxt.hooks.callHook('build:manifestGenerated', wxt, manifest);

I probably won't get to this for a while, but if someone else wants to tackle it, please do!

The workaround is to just not have other icons defined matching the paths WXT discovers automatically.
