No icongenie-*.json files detected in "${folder}" folder!

Error message

No icongenie-*.json files detected in "${folder}" folder!

What it means

parseFolder globs the given folder for icongenie-*.json profile files and, when it finds zero, warns and exits the process with code 1. icongenie's batch/profile mode requires at least one JSON profile file to know which icons to generate.

Solutions

1. Place at least one JSON profile named with the icongenie- prefix (e.g. icongenie-all.json) in the folder passed via -f/--filter
2. Check the folder path passed with -f is correct and is the direct folder containing the profiles
3. Rename existing profile JSON files to match the icongenie-*.json glob pattern

Example fix

// before
quasar icongenie g -f ./assets/profiles  // holds icon-profiles.json
// after
// rename to assets/profiles/icongenie-icon.json (or move profiles to the folder root)
quasar icongenie g -f ./assets/profiles

import { readdirSync } from 'node:fs'
const profiles = readdirSync(profileFolder).filter(f => /^icongenie-.*\.json$/.test(f))
if (profiles.length === 0) {
  throw new Error(`No icongenie-*.json profiles in ${profileFolder}`)
}

const hasProfileFiles = (dir) => readdirSync(dir).some(f => f.startsWith('icongenie-') && f.endsWith('.json'))

When it happens

Trigger: Running `icongenie g --mode all -f <folder>` (or default profile discovery) against a folder containing no files matching icongenie-*.json.

Common situations: Profile files misnamed (e.g. my-icons.json or icon.profile.json instead of icongenie-*.json), profile files placed in a subfolder of the one passed with -f, or a typo in the -f path.
