VS Code Debug Instructions Are Wrong

[owo]

Frankly, I don't know whether to post this issue on forge or electron-forge-docs, but there's a misunderstanding in both repos.

The instructions for Debugging with VS Code will not work because of the way electron-forge-vscode-nix works.

The issue is with the following line:

    "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/.bin/electron-forge-vscode-nix",

The problem is that ${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/.bin/electron-forge-vscode-nix is a symlink to ${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/@electron-forge/cli/script/vscode.sh and it tries to determine the project directory by referencing it relative to it's own path. Thus, the symlink and the original script will run electron-forge-start in different working directories.

Replacing the above line with the following will work:

    "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/@electron-forge/cli/script/vscode.sh",

I'm not sure if the Windows version of this option has this issue.
