How to use source map files on different OS

Question

I use source map for js files both on production and dev server, so I just load it from the local store. In this case, I use next string at the end of files //# sourceMappingURL=file:////var/www/static/. which points at my local store. But I want to use it on both operation system Linux and Windows. So for Windows, this string is not valid file:////var/www/static/, I should use file:////C:/www/static/. In this case on Linux browser can get this file. Is any possibility to use some universal reference which will work in both OS

The sourcemap tells the client how to load the file. The client should have no concept of your servers actual filesystem. – Lerner

Answer 1

The sourcemap tells the client how to load the file. The client should have no concept of your servers actual filesystem.

The mapping should really be: # sourceMappingURL=/path/to/file.js.map where /path/to/file.js.map would resolve to: http://www.example.com/path/to/file.js.map

The client is completely agnostic to filesystems.

Additionally, you should not be service resources over the file:// protocol.

what is the problem with file:// protocol. Why I should use example.com/path/to/file.js.map, if I want hide map files on production how I can do this in this case. I just want to create one gulpfile.js which will nice work with different os and will be good for dev and production. – Hakim
