I have seen this confusing behaviour before too, both
with Forrest and Cocoon.

For the life of me i cannot remember how i fixed it
with Forrest. It was something obvious, like perhaps
cleaning the project's build directory
cd my-forrest-test/build; rm -r *

If anyone can repeat Ken's Forrest behaviour, then please
try this remedy.
