Electron-forge: [v6] renderer doesn't execute with webpack plugin

Created on 20 May 2019 · 2Comments · Source: electron-userland/electron-forge

Maybe I did something wrong, but I configured the plugin according the documentation. There is no errors but also there is no sign of the renderer process being executed. Could you help me with this please?
