How can I set publicPath to auto

[Xeikim]

The generation rule for publicPath in pluginMFManifest is to set it to auto only when base is empty

vite/src/plugins/pluginMFManifest.ts

Line 104 in 665233d

publicPath = base ? base.replace(/\/?$/, '/') : 'auto';

But the default value of vite's base option is '/', and when I set base to empty, vite overrides it to the default value '/'

There seems to be no way to set the value of publicPath to 'auto'

Thanks @Xeikim for your report.
Would you like to drop a PR to fix it?
We can try to figure out if there is a way of retrieve the original base information before the default overwrite

Would it make sense to expose publicPath as an option in the federation plugin?

I am not sure if I need to set publicPath to auto. In my project, my remote is based on vite and my host is based on webpack. In the development environment, when I load the remote module through manifest.json in the host, the publicPath of the requested entry file is set to the address of the host. So I tried to use the publicPath auto feature of webpack to make it load correctly.
Do you have any better suggestions? Thank you very much
