Allow disabling of HMR in the webpack plugin

[MadEmperorYuri]

• I have read the contribution documentation for this project.
• I agree to follow the code of conduct that this project follows, as appropriate.
• I have searched the issue tracker for an issue that matches the one I want to file, without success.

I'm trying to figure out how to disable HMR using Electron Forge with the Webpack template. This is basically the same question as in #565, which, although it got the answer it needed, did not get the answer to the question that was asked.

I have tried adding devServer: { hot: false, inline: false } to Webpack's renderer configuration file, but this did not work. In the course of googling, I think I ran across some page that said devServer configuration would be ignored because of how Electron Forge arranges things, but I cannot find that article again.

What does your config.forge data in package.json look like?

"forge": {
      "packagerConfig": {},
      "makers": [
        {
          "name": "@electron-forge/maker-squirrel",
          "config": {
            "name": "neo4j_client"
          }
        },
        {
          "name": "@electron-forge/maker-zip",
          "platforms": [
            "darwin"
          ]
        },
        {
          "name": "@electron-forge/maker-deb",
          "config": {}
        },
        {
          "name": "@electron-forge/maker-rpm",
          "config": {}
        }
      ],
      "plugins": [
        [
          "@electron-forge/plugin-webpack",
          {
            "mainConfig": "./webpack.main.config.js",
            "renderer": {
              "config": "./webpack.renderer.config.js",
              "entryPoints": [
                {
                  "html": "./source/Renderer/Window/Main/Main.html",
                  "js": "./source/Renderer/Window/Main/Main.tsx",
                  "name": "Main"
                }
              ]
            }
          }
        ]
      ]
    }

webpack.renderer.config.js with devServer configuration

const rules = require('./webpack.rules');
const plugins = require('./webpack.plugins');

rules.push({
  test: /\.scss$/,
  use: [{ loader: 'style-loader' }, { loader: 'css-loader' }, { loader: 'sass-loader' }],
});

rules.push({
  test: /\.css$/,
  use: [{ loader: 'style-loader' }, { loader: 'css-loader' }],
});

rules.push({
  test: /\.tsv$/,
  use: [{ loader: 'file-loader' }],
});

module.exports = {
  // Put your normal webpack config below here
  module: {
    rules,
  },
  resolve: {
    extensions: ['.js', '.ts', '.jsx', '.tsx', '.css', '.scss', 'tsv']
  },
  devServer: {
    hot: false,
    inline: false,
  }
};
