Problems debugging javascript

[aaemnnosttv]

While working with a Sage project, gulp; gulp watch

uglify is stripping out any debugger; statements (not to mention jshint complains about it too).

I can add "debug": true to .jshintrc but that obviously isn't great for production use.

It seems we need to be able to pass some different options to jshint and uglify if we're not running gulp --production. Perhaps forego uglify at all if not production?

That's a negative Ghost Rider. You want to be running what goes into production on dev. I do not cross my fingers and hope it works when I deploy to staging and production.

Yeah let's only enable drop_debugger for --production runs. I'll do it unless you say you want to handle it.

Yeah, I think that's best. Is there a way to do the same for jshint?

[austinpray]

Well I guess you want it to stay in JSHint so you know the debug statement should be removed at some point right? JShint should only fail the build if it's --production. In dev it's a "by the way".

Yeah so JSHint was failing the task always. Now it only fails the build when you run scripts through --production.
