I also encountered the same error.

I solved mine by additionally running the following command: devDependency seems to be missing at npx electron-forge import .

$ npm install --save-dev @electron-forge/plugin-fuses

The devDependency list is implemented in the following code, which could be added here.

forge/packages/api/core/src/api/init-scripts/init-npm.ts

Lines 18 to 25 in 1aa94fc

	export const devDeps = [
	siblingDep('cli'),
	siblingDep('maker-squirrel'),
	siblingDep('maker-zip'),
	siblingDep('maker-deb'),
	siblingDep('maker-rpm'),
	siblingDep('plugin-auto-unpack-natives'),
	];

npm install --save-dev @electron-forge/plugin-fuses then npm run make again worked for me~

[tsekiguchi]

+1 on this. Came here to report this issue

[timofey-ivashchenko]

+1. Faced the same problem.

After installing @electron-forge/plugin-fuses in devDependencies "npm run make" works without errors:

npm install @electron-forge/plugin-fuses --save-dev

[AuWiMo]

+1 same problem, same solution

[Crownico]

[zachrizzo]

Im still having this issue, when i run the command suggested above no files are added to my package.json, just the folder for electron forge

npm install --save-dev @electron-forge/plugin-fuses

I even tried switching over to yarn instead of NPM but running into other issues where if I install this dependency when it's missing, it removes other dependencies that are required when installing this one, please help
