Cannot set autothemer theme as default

[drlkf]

Description

When definining a custom theme with autothemer, I cannot get it to load properly as default without manual a post-startup invocation of helm-themes.

Reproduction guide 🪲

• Create a theme in SPACEMACSDIR named test-theme.el:

(require 'highlight-parentheses)

(autothemer-deftheme
 test "test theme"
 ((black       "black"       "black" )
  (white       "brightwhite" "white" ))

 ((default (:foreground white :background black )))

 (setq highlight-parentheses-colors (list black white)))

(provide-theme 'test)

• Put autothemer in dotspacemacs-additional-packages
• Put the following in user-init:

  (add-to-list 'load-path (getenv "SPACEMACSDIR"))
  (add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path (getenv "SPACEMACSDIR"))

• Set dotspacemacs-themes as follows:

   ;; dotspacemacs-themes '(test) ;; also does not work
   dotspacemacs-themes '((test :location local))

• Start Emacs
• (here the theme does not load properly)
• SPC T n does not load the theme
• helm-themes loads the theme properly post-startup

Observed behaviour: 👀 💔
The theme seems half-loaded and will not load properly if cycled or invoked via
load-theme or enable-theme.

Expected behaviour: ❤️ 😄
The theme should be loaded properly and set as default upon startup.
