Source Mapping URL

  • Hi,

    I’d like to add a comment at the end of my minified files pointing to their corresponding source maps like this:
    //# sourceMappingURL=/path/to/file.js.map

    This is probably added in the first place and then removed when comments are stripped off. Is there a way to ignore that one line?

    The only pointer I’ve found is this:

    Thanks

    hmmm .. afraid not @st3llap. AO never adds those and the minifiers would indeed strip those out. if for debugging-purposes you could always request a page with ?ao_noptimize=1 appended to the URL, in which case the page remains un-optimized?

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    I want to be able to monitor exceptions using Honeybadger and it requires that the sourcemap is available like that.

    Could you maybe point out how I would need to customize the plugin to do that without breaking anything? How can I access the sourcemap URL? Wouldn’t appending it using one of the filters work?

    Thanks

    hmm … do your original CSS/ JS files have sourcemaps in them and is the question just about how to keep those, or do you need AO to add them from scratch?

    I’m afraid the minifier adds the sourcemap since it’s the one knowing the mapping between the original and the minified version. Minify-2.3.1-jsmin and yui-php-cssmin-2.4.8-4_fgo don’t seem to do that though.

    Uglify on the other hand does seem to have an option to add a sourcemap. I might try to use this instead.

    Thanks

    the minifiers indeed don’t do that, but you might be able to tap into the AO API to achieve a similar result, cfr. https://github.com/futtta/autoptimize/issues/21#issuecomment-192255317
