**What command line arguments are you passing?**

electron-forge init rand

What does your config.forge data in package.json look like?
I just let the command create that for me

Please provide either a failing minimal testcase (with a link to the code) or detailed steps to
reproduce your problem. Using electron-forge init is a good starting point, if that is not the
source of your problem.

Thanks for filing an issue. This appears to be a duplicate of #347, so I'm going to close this one.
