### Problem description
I try to use vite plugin but I have everything configured to output to `./dist`. I'm getting following error:
```text
An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:
Error: Electron Forge is configured to use the Vite plugin. The plugin expects the
"main" entry point in "package.json" to be ".vite/*" (where the plugin outputs
the generated files). Instead, it is "dist/electron/src/main.js"
```
I've check code and search for this issue. Why we cannot specify custom output dir? Why it is hardcoded
my vite.main.config.ts looks like this:
```typescript
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { viteStaticCopy } from 'vite-plugin-static-copy';
// https://vitejs.dev/config
export default defineConfig({
build: {
outDir: './dist/electron/src/',
},
plugins: [
viteStaticCopy({
targets:[
{
src: './projects/electron/package.json',
dest: '../'
}
]
}),
],
});
```
### Proposed solution
Allow for custom baseDir
### Alternatives considered
Remove hardcoded code
