@mingpepe Forge doesn't have could wiring to allow hooks or plugins to write logs outside of the existing listr infra, specifically the reason your log "doesn't show up" is because listr overwrites it immediately.

If you want to see your logs a valid workaround is to do DEBUG=*forge* electron-forge and then your console logs should be visible easily

Thanks! It works for me.

@MarshallOfSound Do you think the document should be modified? I think it's misleading.

Any writes to stdout and stderr from within a hook function will be printed in the console after the Forge build completes.
