Browserify source map only makes root file available (caused by absolute pathnames)

I have a gulp task to compile my client code:

var browserify = require('browserify');
var gulp = require('gulp');
var source = require('vinyl-source-stream');
var reactify = require('reactify');

gulp.task('compile', function() {
  return browserify('./public/js/app.js', {transform: reactify, debug: true})
    .bundle()
    .pipe(source('app.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/dist'));
});

      

The problem is the source tab in chrome only shows the root file ./public/js/app.js

. All files that are required in app.js

are missing.

After decompiling the original map data, it seems that only ./public/js/app.js

specified with a relative url, all other files have an absolute url on my machine.

{
    "version": 3,
    "sources": [
        "/Users/andreaskoberle/projects/private/webshell/node_modules/browserify/node_modules/browser-pack/_prelude.js",
        "./public/js/app.js",
        "/Users/andreaskoberle/projects/private/webshell/public/js/cockpits/index.js",
        "/Users/andreaskoberle/projects/private/webshell/public/js/cockpits/links.js",
        "/Users/andreaskoberle/projects/private/webshell/public/js/common/Box.js",
        "/Users/andreaskoberle/projects/private/webshell/public/js/common/Grid.js",
        "/Users/andreaskoberle/projects/private/webshell/public/js/sidebar.js",
        "/Users/andreaskoberle/projects/private/webshell/public/js/webShell/ScriptSelector.js",
        "/Users/andreaskoberle/projects/private/webshell/public/js/webShell/ShellOutput.js",
        "/Users/andreaskoberle/projects/private/webshell/public/js/webShell/index.js"
    ],

The problem is the absolute paths in the original map. Using mold-source-map in my gulp task to convert to absolute paths to relative, fix the problem:



var gulp = require('gulp');
var source = require('vinyl-source-stream');
var reactify = require('reactify');
var mold = require('mold-source-map')

gulp.task('compile', function() {
  return browserify('./public/js/app.js', {transform: reactify, debug: true})
    .bundle()
    .pipe(mold.transformSourcesRelativeTo('./'))
    .pipe(source('app.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/dist'));
});

I have a similar problem, except in my case the sourcemap doesn't even contain absolute paths; it only has one entry for the root file.

My sources from .map:

"sources":["theSrc/internal_www/js/renderContentPage.js"]

      



And my gulp task:

gulp.task('compileRenderContentPage', function () {

    var b = browserify({
      entries: 'theSrc/internal_www/js/renderContentPage.js',
      debug: true
    });

    return b.transform(babelify, { presets: ['es2015'] })
      .bundle()
      .pipe(source('renderContentPage.js'))
      .pipe(buffer())
      .pipe(sourcemaps.init({loadMaps: true}))
      .on('error', gutil.log)
      .pipe(sourcemaps.write('./'))
      .pipe(gulp.dest('./browser/js/'));
});

      

haven't figured out the problem yet
