Upload SourceMap During Project Build¶
TrueWatch currently provides a Vite
plugin that makes it easy to upload SourceMap files for the corresponding directory during the build process of a Web project.
Note: Currently, only Web applications are supported for upload.
Preparation¶
- Obtain the
OpenApi
domain address for the corresponding site; - Obtain the required
API KEY
forOpenApi
from TrueWatch here; - Obtain the
applicationId
,env
, andversion
information for the Web application from TrueWatch. If there is no application, create a new one; - Preparation is complete.
Vite¶
Install @cloudcare/vite-plugin-sourcemap
Using npm:
Using yarn:
Using pnpm:
Modify the plugins
option in the vite.config.js
file
// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "vite"
import vue from "@vitejs/plugin-vue"
import { SourceMapUploadVitePlugin } from "@cloudcare/vite-plugin-sourcemap"
// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
build: {
sourcemap: true, // Source map generation must be turned on
},
plugins: [
vue(),
SourceMapUploadVitePlugin({
applicationId: "xxxxx", // TrueWatch application appid
apiKey: "xxxxxxxx", // open apikey
server: "https://console.xx-xxx.cn", // openapi address for the corresponding site
filepaths: ["dist/"], // directories to search, can be files or directories
logLevel: "verbose", // log level
// root: 'dist/', // root directory for the relative path to upload
env: "production", // TrueWatch application env
version: "1.0.0", // TrueWatch application version
}),
],
})
Sourcemap Plugin Options¶

Sourcemap Visibility in Production Environment¶
In production environments, sourcemap files are usually not retained for security reasons. These files allow developers to map minified or compiled code back to the original source code, but if exposed, they can reveal the internal logic of the application, increasing security risks.
To handle sourcemaps safely, you can enable the deleteAfterUpload: true
option when configuring the SourceMapUploadVitePlugin. This ensures that once the sourcemaps are uploaded to the server, they are immediately deleted from the local file system, preventing them from being left behind in the production environment.
Additionally, by setting build.sourcemap
to "hidden" in vite.config.ts
, you can generate Sourcemaps without including any references to them in the JavaScript files. This prevents browsers from attempting to download and view the source code.
If "hidden" is enabled, you should also set matchSourcemapsByFilename: true
in the SourceMapUploadVitePlugin. This configuration ensures that the plugin can identify and upload the corresponding Sourcemap files based on the JavaScript file names, even if there are no explicit references in the generated code.
Through these measures, you can maintain the convenience of application debugging while effectively protecting the security of the source code.
// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "vite"
import vue from "@vitejs/plugin-vue"
import { SourceMapUploadVitePlugin } from "@cloudcare/vite-plugin-sourcemap"
// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
build: {
sourcemap: "hidden", // Source map generation must be turned on
},
plugins: [
vue(),
SourceMapUploadVitePlugin({
applicationId: "xxxxx", // TrueWatch application appid
apiKey: "xxxxxxxx", // open apikey
server: "https://console.xxx-xxx.cn",
filepaths: ["dist/"], // directories to search, can be files or directories
logLevel: "verbose", // log level
// root: 'dist/', // root directory for the relative path to upload
env: "production", // TrueWatch application env
version: "1.0.0", // TrueWatch application version
deleteAfterUpload: true,
matchSourcemapsByFilename: true,
}),
],
})
How to DEBUG¶
If no corresponding Sourcemap is found during the process, you can set the environment variable DEBUG=sourcemap-upload
or configure logLevel: verbose
to run the build command and view the detailed logs.

Notes on
filepaths
androot
configuration:
In the console, there is an error with a line like at SVGGElement.<anonymous> @ http://localhost:8000/js/chunk-vendors.732b3b98.js:1:93427
, where the relative path of the file causing the error is js/chunk-vendors.732b3b98.js
. If the js files are in the static directory of the server as dist/js/*.js
dist/js/*.js.map
, the plugin configuration should be filepaths: ['dist']
.
If root
is not configured, the default value is dist/
, and the Sourcemap file path uploaded to the server will be dist/js/**.js.map
. In this case, the uploaded file directory path will not match the path where the error occurred. Therefore, you should add the configuration root:'/'
or root: ''
to ensure the uploaded directory path is js/**.js.map
.
