Shorten sourceURLs

[jhnns]

Why do all source URLs start with webpack-module:// and than include the absolute file path? I think it would be more readable to just include the path after the module root. E.g. the file /home/jhnns/node/myModule/lib/printHello.js would appear as myModule/lib/printHello.js.

Currently I'm using Chrome to debug my scripts and it's kind of annoying to always resize the scripts panel to see how the actual filename is (because of the webpack-module prefix and the absolute path the string is quite long).

Despite of that, could you add to the readme that the debug option is also available when using the programmatic interface?

a while ago this did work in chrome (i'm using it too) but some change in chrome changed it...
Should be fixed now again...

You need to check "Show script folders" in chrome dev tool settings (bottom right corner).

Now it's working, thanks. I've checked the "Show script folders" already. But I was annoyed that the folders also start with the full absolute path.

Compare these two paths from browserify and webpack:

/test/simpleTest/simpleTest.test.js:34

webpack-module:///home/jhnns/node/nodeclass/test/simpleTest/simpleTest.test.js:33

The first path provides a much nicer debug experience (e.g. in stack traces, etc.) since it omits the uninteresting parts.

sourceUrl is shortened the way stats was processed.

./ project directory
../ parent of project directory
~ = node_modules

Looks good. But if I'm using a loader, such as bundle, the loader-path is prepended. For instance:

webpack-module:///(webpack)/~/bundle-loader/lazy.js!./pages/Blog/BlogPage.class.js

Is this intended? I don't think that the loader is important for the debug view.

[sokra]

It's intended and importent. The bundle loader is a good example.

If you use the bundle loader you have 2 modules included

webpack-module:///(webpack)/~/bundle-loader/lazy.js!./pages/Blog/BlogPage.class.js
webpack-module:///./pages/Blog/BlogPage.class.js

If we would not prepend the loader the module names are not unique and would collide.

[jhnns]

Sounds reasonable.
