Is there a command line flag to disable JavaScript source maps for Chrome?

Question

Edit: I opened a new issue with Chromium.

---

Our project uses TypeScript compiled to JavaScript. When debugging automated unit tests in Karma, I want to disable JavaScript source maps and stick to debugging the compiled code.

I know how to do this from the browser settings but the change expires when I close the browser, so I'm looking for a way to disable it programmatically.

Disable source maps in Chrome DevTools

Chrome accepts other flags from the command line (e.g. --no-sandbox). Is there a flag or similar means to disable source maps?

Answer 1

on webpack.config.js

add devtool: false

exports.onCreateWebpackConfig = ({ actions, stage }) => {
  // If production JavaScript and CSS build
  if (stage === 'build-javascript') {
    // Turn off source maps
    actions.setWebpackConfig({
      devtool: false,
    })
  }
};

or

You can pass compiler options inside every loader query string

loadWhatEVer?sourceMap=false
