How to distinguish files which have the same name but in different sub-folders in sourcemap? - vue.js

Question

In my VUE project, there are several templates which have the same filename but located in different source sub-folders. I'm using webpack 3.12 to build it, and the devtool set to 'cheap-module-eval-source-map'.
After I run webpack-dev-server 2.11.1 to debug it, all template source files are put into the root folder 'webpack://' of the browser's sourcemap, so ONLY one of these files can exist, others are lost, I can't debug them.
Is there a way to make these files co-existing in the sourcemap?
module.exports = {
plugins: [
new VueLoaderPlugin()
],
context: path.resolve(__dirname, '../'),
entry: {
app: ['babel-polyfill', './src/main.js']
},
output: {
path: config.build.assetsRoot,
filename: '[name].js',
publicPath: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ?
config.build.assetsPublicPath : config.dev.assetsPublicPath
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['.js', '.vue', '.json'],
alias: {
'vue$': 'vue/dist/vue.esm.js',
'#': resolve('src'),
}
},
devtool: 'cheap-module-eval-source-map',
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.vue$/,
loader: 'vue-loader',
options: vueLoaderConfig
},
{
test: /\.js$/,
loader: 'babel-loader',
include: [resolve('src'), resolve('test'), resolve('node_modules/webpack-dev-server/client')]
},
{
test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg)(\?.*)?$/,
loader: 'url-loader',
options: {
limit: 10000,
name: utils.assetsPath('img/[name].[hash:7].[ext]')
}
},
{
test: /\.(mp4|webm|ogg|mp3|wav|flac|aac)(\?.*)?$/,
loader: 'url-loader',
options: {
limit: 10000,
name: utils.assetsPath('media/[name].[hash:7].[ext]')
}
},
{
test: /\.(woff2?|eot|ttf|otf)(\?.*)?$/,
loader: 'url-loader',
options: {
limit: 10000,
name: utils.assetsPath('fonts/[name].[hash:7].[ext]')
}
}
]
},
// these devServer options should be customized in /config/index.js
devServer: {
clientLogLevel: 'warning',
historyApiFallback: {
rewrites: [{
from: /.*/,
to: path.posix.join(config.dev.assetsPublicPath, 'index.html')
}, ],
},
hot: true,
contentBase: false, // since we use CopyWebpackPlugin.
compress: true,
host: HOST || config.dev.host,
port: PORT || config.dev.port,
open: config.dev.autoOpenBrowser,
overlay: config.dev.errorOverlay ?
{
warnings: false,
errors: true
} :
false,
publicPath: config.dev.assetsPublicPath,
proxy: config.dev.proxyTable,
quiet: true, // necessary for FriendlyErrorsPlugin
watchOptions: {

}
}
}

At last, I changed 'cheap-module-eval-source-map' to 'module-eval-source-map', the relative path of source files are kept.
I've read the official document of devtool, it says "it doesn't have column mappings, it only maps line numbers." if "cheap" mode used, I don't understand why the relative path is discarded.
eval-cheap-source-map - Similar to eval-source-map, each module is executed with eval(). It is "cheap" because it doesn't have column
mappings, it only maps line numbers. It ignores SourceMaps from
Loaders and only display transpiled code similar to the eval devtool.
eval-cheap-module-source-map - Similar to eval-cheap-source-map, however, in this case Source Maps from Loaders are processed for
better results. However Loader Source Maps are simplified to a single
mapping per line.

This worked for me when using vue-cli-service serve: https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli/issues/2978#issuecomment-577364101
In vue.config.js:
let path = require('path')
module.exports = {
configureWebpack: config => {
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
// See available sourcemaps:
// https://webpack.js.org/configuration/devtool/#devtool
config.devtool = 'eval-source-map'
// console.log(`NOTICE: vue.config.js directive: ${config.devtool}`)
config.output.devtoolModuleFilenameTemplate = info => {
let resPath = path.normalize(info.resourcePath)
let isVue = resPath.match(/\.vue$/)
let isGenerated = info.allLoaders
let generated = `webpack-generated:///${resPath}?${info.hash}`
let vuesource = `vue-source:///${resPath}`
return isVue && isGenerated ? generated : vuesource
}
config.output.devtoolFallbackModuleFilenameTemplate =
'webpack:///[resource-path]?[hash]'
}
},
}
