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

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.
