### Electron Forge version

6.2.1

### Electron version

25.3.1

### Operating system

macOS Ventura 13.4

### Last known working Electron Forge version

_No response_

### Expected behavior

Running `npm run lint` should output errors such as referring to an undefined variable.

### Actual behavior

Nothing gets outputted

### Steps to reproduce

Create new electron app using the Webpack + TypeScript template:
```bash
npm init electron-app@latest my-new-app -- --template=webpack-typescript
```

Modify l. 31 in `renderer.js` to artificially include a reference to an undefined variable:

```ts
console.log(`👋 This message is being logged by "renderer.js", included via webpack ${a}`); // a is not defined
```

Run eslint:
```bash
npm run eslint
```
