Operating system

Windows 11 Pro (23H2)

Last known working Electron Forge version

7.3.1

Expected behavior

All plugins should run before trying to run the electron process from the main entry point.

Actual behavior

Plugins don't run at all, I've tried with both the Vite and the Webpack plugins and nothing seems to run anymore after the generateAssets hook. It goes straight to running electron, trying to execute the bundle that doesn't exist since Vite and Webpack don't run.

Steps to reproduce

I was using the Vite template first and then created a different project to try the Webpack template. Both worked great, but I was using Vite. Now I'm having issues, with Webpack being way more mature than Vite, so I copied the Webpack files to the Vite project just to try it out. I've changed the main in package.json and commented out Vite's plugin in forge.config. It was working fine, until I switched back to Vite and now neither works.
