Typescript files no longer available on Chrome Devtools

Hi there,

We have developed a plugin using Angular 2, which uses Typescript packaged with Webpack.

On previous versions of indesign, when opening the chrome devtools, we could see a "webpack" folder, with the original .ts files for debugging.

But since I updated Indesign to 2018, I can only debug the final .js files. The webpack folder is nowhere to be seen.

Does anyone have encountered this? Any workarounds? Ideas?

Thank you very much!

Marc

Hi Marc,

Did you get to the bottom of this issue?

This is kind of odd... I didn't think you could use TypeScript with InDesign! It's supported for Premiere Pro, XD, and some new APIs, but I didn't know you could use it in the way @Stefan Riedmann writes about above.

rollwhistler finally I solved it with a trick, and I like it very much. the actual extension is running inside an iFrame of a static (minimal) extension. Like this, you can debug typescript and use angular's cli webserver (with incremental build and auto refresh).

I wrote it in a post, I'd be happy about some feedback
