Webpack-dev-server doesn't generate source maps
I use babel-loader, but can't figure out how to generate or where find source maps for transpiled files. I tried eval-source-map
, inline-source-map
, source-map
.
webpack.config.js
const BowerWebpackPlugin = require("bower-webpack-plugin");
module.exports = {
entry: './src/script/index.jsx',
output: {
filename: 'bundle.js',
sourceMapFilename: "bundle.js.map",
publicPath: 'http://localhost:8090/assets'
},
debug: true,
devtool: 'inline-source-map',
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.js[x]?$/,
loaders: ['react-hot', 'jsx', 'babel'],
exclude: /node_modules/
},
{
test: /\.scss$/,
loaders: [ 'style', 'css?sourceMap', 'sass?sourceMap' ]
},
{
test: /\.less$/,
loaders: [ 'style', 'css?sourceMap', 'less?sourceMap' ]
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
loaders: [ 'style', 'css']
},
{ test: /\.woff$/, loader: "url-loader?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff" },
{ test: /\.woff2$/, loader: "url-loader?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff2" },
{ test: /\.(eot|ttf|svg|gif|png)$/, loader: "file-loader" }
]
},
plugins: [
new BowerWebpackPlugin()
],
externals: {
//don't bundle the 'react' npm package with our bundle.js
//but get it from a global 'React' variable
'react': 'React'
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx']
}
}

After all this webpack.config.js and this package.json works for me.
edit2://
Now I use this webpack config
Solution 1:
Use webpack-dev-server -d
-
-d
is shorthand for--debug --devtool source-map --output-pathinfo
. output-pathinfo
adds comments to the generated bundle that explain what module/files are included in what places. So in the generated code, the comment is added to this line of code:require(/* ./test */23)
which says that23
is pointing to thetest
module. This is mostly helpful when you're looking at the code Webpack has generated, and not so much when stepping through the debugger. I got this example from this relevant bit of documentation.This all works because
webpack-dev-server
accepts all the same flags aswebpack
.- See this section in the docs for details.
Tips & gotchas
-
--content-base
- by default the dev server will serve files in the directory you run the command in. If your build files are inbuild/
, you need to specify--content-base build/
so the dev server will serve up files in thebuild
directory -
--inline
- auto-reload whenever you save a file with some changes!
Solution 2:
Use webpack -d
The d
flag stands for development shortcut and it enables all of your developer tools such as source maps.
Solution 3:
Add {devtool:"source-map"}
to your webpack.config.js
