Visual Studio 2015 TypeScript Files Disappear in Chrome


I am working in Visual Studio 2015 using Angular 2 and TypeScript 1.8 and every once in a while, Chrome will throw a whole bunch of errors and I notice, while looking at the Sources, my .js files are all there but the .ts files are not.

I have to restart VS a couple times and get it to retranspile a couple .ts files in order for them all to show up again in the Chrome debugger.

It is very strange.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • I figured this out but wanted to post my fix, just in case anyone else comes across it and finds it useful.

    The problem I was having was actually related to my TypeScript compiler not generating the .js.map files for my .ts files when transpiling them.

    Once my TypeScript Compiler was fixed, I saved my .ts files, the .js.map files were generated and the files reappeared in Chrome
