Debug angular 2 typescript application in IE

Question

I can easily debug my Angular 2 (from an Angular-CLI generated project) Typescript files in Chrome and Firefox but I am unable to debug any of my typescript file in IE 11. All files I can see in the list are of type .js Can anyone guide me on what I am doing wrong or how to debug the application in IE?

Answer 1

IE 11 wont handle the maps files for you automatically like Chrome does. So you have to choose the map file manually by right clicking on the js file tab:

then you should be able to debug your .ts file

However after the app gets reloaded you have to choose the source map file again, that is just wired experience and I would not recommend to debug you app in IE 11 at all unless you are experiencing some specific IE 11 bug.
