ESRI : Failed to parse source map

Further to just simply turning off Source Maps in Chrome - I've done a little digging and found that using Web Essentials to create the source maps seems to be the issue.

For whatever reason, if I use an external compiler (Koala) I can successfully create working source maps in Chrome (no errors). Whereas if I use Web Essentials, the source maps fail to parse.

Hope this helps someone.

While the chosen answer is a good answer to hide the error, it doesn't make the error go away, it's just that you can't see it in the inspector. The other way would be to download the missing map file and put it in the assets/lib directory. So, for example, I was missing angular-route.min.js.map file and I went here https://code.angularjs.org/1.5.3/ (to the correct version of angular) and downloaded the missing file. The error didn't disappear right away, possibly because of caching, but once I went to the actual file in the browser it worked. http://sitename.localhost/assets/lib/angular-route.min.js.map. Now the inspector no longer displays the error even with source maps enabled.

Chrome recently added support for source maps in the developer tools. If you go under settings on the chrome developer toolbar you can see the following two options:

If you disable those two options, and refresh the browser, it should no longer ask for source maps.

These settings can be found here:

Source code of CSS/JS we usually minified/compress. Now if we want to debug those minified files then we have to add following line at the end of minified file

/*# sourceMappingURL=bootstrap.min.css.map */

This tells compiler where is source file actually mapped.

In the case of JS its make sense
but in the case of CSS, its actually debugging of SCSS.

To Remove Warning: remove /*# sourceMappingURL=bootstrap.min.css.map */ from the end of minified file, .
