Empty config in @electron-forge/publisher-nucleus@6.0.0-beta.22

See original GitHub issue

If you check config object assigned in https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-forge/blob/e55a9d5beb666a944ae730e6ed0a2ba6b5594c93/packages/publisher/nucleus/src/PublisherNucleus.ts#L35 it’s empty (regardless of how config declared as manifest block or a separate file) and therefore the fetch function https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-forge/blob/e55a9d5beb666a944ae730e6ed0a2ba6b5594c93/packages/publisher/nucleus/src/PublisherNucleus.ts#L57 receives empty config.host and throws an error (Absolute URL required).

As a dirty workaround I had to do the following, given I have the only publisher:

 async publish({ makeResults, forgeConfig }: PublisherOptions) {
    const config = forgeConfig.publishers[0].config
...

So it publishes correctly to Nucleus server

My env: Windows 10, Node.js 10.4.1
