No warnings when debugging through VS Code.

Actual behavior

Warning observed after "Debugger attached." message:

WARN  inlineDynamicImports option is deprecated, please use codeSplitting: false instead.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a new electron-forge project in VS Code.
  2. Add a debug profile that executes this in Windows: ${workspaceFolder}/../node_modules/@electron-forge/cli/script/vscode.cmd
  3. Debug the project.
  4. Observe the Debug Console.

I can see inlineDynamicImports: true in the following two files:

  • @electron-forge\plugin-vite\dist\config\vite.preload.config.js:18: inlineDynamicImports: true,
  • @electron-forge\plugin-vite\src\config\vite.preload.config.ts:20: inlineDynamicImports: true,
