Create Sourcemaps on build-time to upload to errortracker

help

Hello.

We are using sentry (getsentry.com) as an error tracker. to have more helpful error messages there is a possibility to upload sourcemaps for js/coffe whatever.

Is there any way to generate these sourcemaps when doing a
meteor build --directory $BUILD_URL --architecture $ARCHITECTURE

ideally they would also work in the browser, but having a tarball for uploading to sentry is necessary.

I’d like to vote for this. I have an app deployed on Galaxy which logs errors to Sentry. Having to work with stack traces that start like this is incredibly challenging.

If it’s an error that you know how to recreate, you may be able to get some additional debugging information by deploying with the --debug flag. From the docs for meteor deploy:

You can deploy in debug mode by passing --debug. This will leave your source code readable by your favorite in-browser debugger, just like it is in local development mode.

Though no doubt your app’s performance will be affected.

We’re using atatus.com which also support source maps.
The only source maps I found in the .meteor dir is of the development env.
How would I generate source maps in the meteor deploy process ?

As we want error tracking for our production version this is no option…

This would be very very useful. There’s an open issue in github now for over a year.
