No assets to generate! No mode/include specified, filter too

Error message

No assets to generate! No mode/include specified, filter too specific or the respective Quasar mode(s) are not installed

What it means

verifyProfile parses the profile's assets with the given include parameters; when the resulting assetsOf list is empty it emits the same 'No assets to generate' warning and returns early, skipping verification entirely. It mirrors generate.js's empty-selection guard for the verify command.

Solutions

Run icongenie verify without filters to verify all assets available in the project.
Add the missing Quasar mode (e.g. `quasar mode add pwa`) or remove it from the profile.
Fix the include/mode names in the icongenie profile to match installed modes.

Example fix

# before (no pwa mode installed)
icongenie verify --include pwa
# after
quasar mode add pwa && icongenie verify --include pwa

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

import { existsSync } from 'node:fs';
const requested = ['pwa','capacitor','electron'];
const missing = requested.filter(m => !existsSync(`src-${m}`));
if (missing.length) console.log(`Modes not installed: ${missing.join(', ')} — verify will be a no-op for them`);

Prevention

Run plain `icongenie verify` first to confirm which assets are detectable.
Add missing modes (`quasar mode add pwa`) before verifying their assets.
Keep icongenie profile mode lists in sync with the project's installed modes.

When it happens

Trigger: Running icongenie verify with mode/include parameters that select no assets: the referenced Quasar mode is not installed, include names are misspelled, or the profile's modes don't exist in this project.

Common situations: Verifying pwa/capacitor icons in a project that never added those modes; typos in the include list; reusing a profile file from another project with different modes.
