This problem does not happen if instead of using 'electron-forge startI usenpm start`

Hey @cmxela! My guess it that the version of electron forge you're hitting when you run electron-forge start is out of date with the version of forge in your dev dependencies. Can you verify if that's the case by running npx electron-forge --version in /gato-vue and running npx electron-forge --version from your home dir and comparing the outputted versions?

Hi @yangannyx thanks for your reply,
no, this is not the case
