@LinusU Any chance of this PR making it into the next release? I'm currently facing a problem where a part of the my system that I don't have control over is generating a lot of source maps that are blowing out my memory usage. Having a simple way to clear the cache would be a neat solve for my use case. Thanks 🙏
Update: I've found a different workaround for my use case 👍
When using
cheap-module-eval-source-map
or equivalent in Webpack, the sourcemap is embbeded in theeval()
statement generated by Webpack... thus,source-map-support
cannot access the actual source and perform the mapping.... and given that i'm using HMR on my nodejs server which is a huge codebase, using
source-map
is not an option if I dont want to wait forever on each file change.Thus, I've developped for myself a small webpack plugin that mitigates this issue. But it requires
source-map-support
to expose anemptyCache()
method.
