Add support to filter js.map files generated from ts files

[dbaeumer]

• VSCode Version: 0.10.12
• OS Version: Windows

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Compile TS -> JS including source maps
2. Try to filter the js.map file if a corresponding TS file exists

Wasn't able to do so. Tried:

"**/*.js.map": { "when": "$basename($(basename)).ts"}

@dbaeumer this is currently not supported but I find the notation of 2-times $(basename) interesting. As a workaround for now I suggest you just use **/*.js.map: true

[bpasero]

@dbaeumer the alternative idea i had was to introduce something like $(filename) that is really the portion of a file without extension.

The easy workaround for anyone hitting this is to just exclude with */.js.map: true

Old post but If it's any help I use the following:

"**/*.js": {
    "when": "$(basename).ts"
},
"**/*.map": {
    "when": "$(basename)"
}

It hides map files if there's a matching JS file and hides JS files if there's a matching TS file, leaving you with just TS files. Thought it was a little neater hiding all map files

+1 on the $(filename).

I'd like to add that doing a general **/*.js.map: true is not the way to go because deleting the corresponding .ts file will not reveal the .js.map file. I believe this should be the reason why when is desired in the first place.

+1.

There is no way to exclude generated .min.css and .d.ts now.
An exclude rule without when is not a workaround because .d.ts files may come from typings or @types so they don't have a source file and should not be excluded.

$(filename) may not be good enough. For example: my.test.ts is compiled to my.test.js and my.test.d.ts. Since $(filename) is the name without any extension, $(filename).ts becomes my.ts.

What we need is something like $(relativeBasename) that just strip the portion after *. $(relativeBasename) of my.test.js.map is my.test, when the rules is **/*.d.ts. If we change rule to **/*.map, then $(relativeBasename) becomes my.test.js.

Any news on this? Need to be able to hide *.d.ts and *.map.js the same way as ".js" that lay near ".ts".

[wclr]

Hey, ".d.ts" was fixed, but not ".js.map" kind of strange? 😃

I see there are some workarounds.
This feature request will not be considered in the next 6-12 months roadmap and as such will be closed to keep the number of issues we have to maintain actionable. Thanks for understanding and happy coding!
