You can enable including source maps and the required source files in a WebSharper assembly, by adding the
<WebSharperSourceMap>True</WebSharperSourceMap>
property to your project file.
WebSharper itself and all publix is built with source map embedding, so you can debug into WebSharper library code.
Sitelets and single-page application projects are supported, offline sitelets (generating static Html+JS output) is currently not.
If you have a separate web project hosting your WebSharper application,
add the same WebSharperSourceMap
property to the project file to unpack
the source map files.
You need to have Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1 Update 1 or newer for source map support. Edge has inherited the debugging tool from IE11, works similarly.
In the Debugger tab of F12 tools, the last icon in the toolbar says "Load the sources mapped to this generated file". Use this to jump between generated and original source code. You can set breakpoints in the original code.
To enable source maps, check the "Enable JavaScript source maps" setting in Developer Tools Settings (cog icon in F12 panel).
In the Sources tab of Developer Tools, open a generated .js
file in
the Scripts/WebSharper
folder to make Chrome load its source mappings.
A folder named Source
will appear with the original .fs
files used
for WebSharper translation.
You can use this to set breakpoints in original code.
Check the "Show Original Sources" item in the "Debugger Options" menu (cog icon in F12 panel).
You can access the list of original sources, however breakpoints don't work correctly as of version 37.0.1.
