Add flag to skip source-map-support `install()`
Related: https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node/issues/796 https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node/issues/1473 https://github.com/cspotcode/node-source-map-support/pull/23
Add a configuration option, perhaps named installSourceMapSupport
or sourceMapHooks
, which can be used to disable require('@cspotcode/source-map-support').install()
Important things to consider:
- Do we continue to generate sourcemaps when compiling? Probably the best answer is "yes" to be compatible with node's built-in
--enable-source-maps
- Maybe we should obey the user's tsconfig? If they have sourcemaps turned on/off in tsconfig, then we do/don't generate sourcemaps?
- Clearly document default behavior:
- with
--enable-source-maps
enabled, default is "off" - without
--enable-source-maps
, default is "on" - When set to true or false via config, overrides the default
- with
~~Just confirming my understanding: This new option will be configurable within a tsconfig.json as well? I ask because in some scenarios we have no control over how a library invokes ts-node. As an example, Karma automatically invokes ts-node when a Karma config is written in TypeScript. Since I can't control how it invokes ts-node, it would be nice if I could throw this new flag into my tsconfig.json and have Karma pick up the flag automatically.~~
It's in the README.
@cspotcode is this https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node/pull/2004 a good entry point for this, disregarding docs and the node's own --enable-source-maps
? If so, what would be a good place to document the full behavior?
