#223

Electron Forge + Vite + Vue + TypeScript Integration Issue

Fixes in packages for both npm and bun
pnpm isn't working

For npm, use these commands:

npx create-electron-app@latest my-vue-app --template=vite

cd my-vue-app 
npm install vue
npm install --save-dev @vitejs/plugin-vue

For bun, use these commands:

bunx create-electron-app@latest my-vue-app --template=vite
cd my-vue-app 
bun install vue
bun install --save-dev @vitejs/plugin-vue

[erickzhao]

Is this solved in the latest release after #3924 was merged?
