Angular 13 ng serve -> console.log() does not display proper filenames


If I create a new Angular 13 project with $ ng new my-test-app and add

constructor() {
  console.log('Hello there');
}

to app.component.ts, then do $ ng serve and open the browser..
"Hello there" is logged in the console, but it says it's coming from main.js instead of app.component.ts

Is this expected behavior? And does anyone know how to change it?

Edit: Seems like the issue is with my chrome browser. It displays the files correctly in the firefox console. Will add a solution when I figure out why


Solution

  • "Enable Javascript source maps" was not enabled in my Chrome Dev Tools Settings (F1).
    Enabling it solved the problem.
