Enable Source Mapping

Adobe XD UXP Plugin API

Is it possible to use something like source mapping when building with webpack? Sometimes the error messages in the XD Dev Console are ambiguous, referring to a line from the bundled main.js, not the true source file.

-Thanks!

The build process compiles your code into one single main.js file which is the only file XD looks at other than manifest.json. I can’t think of a good wait to map it back to the source code. anyone?

There is a standard for source maps (in JS), which could (and for this would have to get parsed) by XD. Cf. https://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/developertools/sourcemaps/. With it (which can get generated for basically all build processes, may that be from TypeScript, a simple webpack JS to JS compilation or whatever else), it is possible to trace back the “original” file location.

Is source mapping possible with Chrome Devtools in Adobe XD?

I tried the following steps but it didn’t work.
It doesn’t show webpack file tree in Chrome Devtools.
Has anyone ever had this problem?

  1. git clone GitHub - pklaschka/xd-plugin-boilerplate: A boilerplate for plugins for Adobe XD CC including preconfi
  2. Add 「devtool: ‘source-map’,」 「to webpack.config.js」.
  3. Create 「debug.json」 to 「dist」 folder.
  4. npm install
  5. npm run debug:install
  6. Run 「CheckNetIsolation LoopbackExempt -is -n=“Adobe.CC.XD_adky2gkssdxte”」 as administrator.
  7. Run Adobe XD.
  8. Run 「chrome://inspect」, then 「inspect」.
  9. Right click on main.js in Chrome Devtools and select 「Add source map
」
    10.Enter the following in 「Source map URL」
    main.js.map
    file:///path/to/main.js.map ※Adobe XD developer folder
    file:///path/to/main.js.map ※xd-plugin-boilerplate foler

Thanks for the help.
