Issues With Feed Icon

[moaatt2]

I am trying to test adding an icon to my feed so I added the following to my config.yaml. I am using jekyll-feed 0.17.

feed:
  icon: /assets/images/icon.png

However the generated XML (less the entries) looks like this:

<feed>
  <generator uri="https://jekyllrb.com/" version="3.9.5">Jekyll</generator>
  <link href="http://0.0.0.0:4000/feed.xml" rel="self" type="application/atom+xml"/>
  <link href="http://0.0.0.0:4000/" rel="alternate" type="text/html"/>
  <updated>2024-12-06T20:35:16-05:00</updated>
  <id>http://0.0.0.0:4000/feed.xml</id>
  <title type="html">Your awesome title</title>
  <subtitle>
  Write an awesome description for your new site here. You can edit this line in _config.yml. It will appear in your document head meta (for Google search results) and in your feed.xml site description.
  </subtitle>
  <author>
    <name>****** *****</name>
    <email>test@test.ccom</email>
  </author>
</feed>

I don't see the icon anywhere. I would greatly appreciate any help in determining what is causing this.

You can see my testing environment here.

Hello @moaatt2, this feature is part of changes that have not been released yet.
However, you may still use them right away by pointing your Gemfile to this repository:

group :jekyll_plugins do
-   gem "jekyll-feed", "~> 0.17"
+   gem "jekyll-feed", github: "jekyll/jekyll-feed"
end

Thank you for the advice @ashmaroli, do you know if this will work for publishing with GitHub Pages using the default pages build and deployment action?
