Barrel file not using custom `directories`

Describe the bug

Customizing httpControllers path in the adonisrc.ts file like this:

typescript


export default defineConfig({
  directories: {
    httpControllers: 'src/infrastructure/api/http/controllers',
  },
  ...
})

prevent barrel for being correctly generated unless I also edit the directory path in the indexEntities init hook:

bash

export default defineConfig({
  ...
  hooks: {
      init: [
        indexEntities({
          controllers: { source: 'src/infrastructure/api/http/controllers' },
        }),
      ],
  },
  ...
})

Would be really cool if indexEntities was using custom directories directly.
