### Expected behavior
If ForkTsCheckerWebpackPlugin is only set in renderer webpack config, this should work for renderer files.
### Actual behavior
if ForkTsCheckerWebpackPlugin is removed from Main config, the ForkTsCheckerWebpackPlugin is not more working for renderer files.
### Steps to reproduce
Create a new app based on webpack + typescrtip + react template
* Add Strict true in the ts config
* add an unused import in the renderer.ts
* forge start.
In the default config, the electron application should open and you should see the error from ForkTsCheckerWebpackPlugin in the logs.
In you remove the main 'plugin' section, you have no erros anymore in the output.
