When I start debugging my angular app and open the chrome DevTools then a lots of files are opening by itself in the sources window. Most of them are files from vendor scripts.
I was looking for the 'debugger' - Keyword in the scripts but didn't see any.
The most of those files are .js - files. I suspected the angular-cli is serving sourcemaps for vendor scripts which would eventually cause that behavior. So I put that into my angular.json file:
"serve": {
"builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:dev-server",
"options": {
"browserTarget": "quickapp:build",
"vendorSourceMap": false
},
That didn't help. Any suggestions?
I am using angular 7
--- Update ---
My colleague just mentioned that this only happens when the "Script Debugging" in visual studio is enabled and I can confirm that now. So the cause here is the Visual Studio Script Debugging Feature. This feature is not really reliable. Breakpoints are sometimes not working (especially after a visual studio update). So you have to use the devtools combined with the script debugging.
So there is still the question, is that a bug or is it possible to change that behavior?
