Missing .map files causing collectstatic to fail using current master branch (TinyMCE 6)

[philgyford]

I tried out the current, unreleased, version of master f04e1c8 that includes TinyMCE v6, thanks to #426:

pipenv install -e git+https://github.com/jazzband/django-tinymce.git@master#egg=django-tinymce

It seemed to work fine with an initial test locally, but when I tried running manage.py collectstatic I got this error:

Post-processing 'tinymce/skins/ui/oxide-dark/content.inline.js' failed!

The JS file 'tinymce/skins/ui/oxide-dark/content.inline.js' references a file which could not be found:
  tinymce/skins/ui/oxide-dark/content.inline.js.map

Please check the URL references in this JS file, particularly any
relative paths which might be pointing to the wrong location.

As you can see I'm using whitenoise, and I haven't tried it without.

I can't see any .map files in those tinymce/skins/ folders, but also can't see any in the version of TinyMCE 6 downloaded direct from the tiny.cloud website.

There are some closed issues for previous versions of TinyMCE in which they concluded that the released files shouldn't include references to .map files, e.g. https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/issues/5489 and https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/issues/4649 but can't see anything more recent. Still, maybe this is actually an issue for TinyMCE?

Thanks a lot for testing! Do you think we should remove the sourceMappingURL lines from the various TinyMCE source files?

[philgyford]

It seems like that's the approach they took before. I could open an issue there asking if they should be doing that, seeing as that was the previous approach?

[claudep]

Sure, you can always try!

Here we go: https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/issues/9484

In creating that I've realised it's unrelated to Whitenoise. The error also occurs using django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.ManifestStaticFilesStorage as Django's staticfiles backend.

If that's changed to django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.StaticFilesStorage then there's no error.

It looks like the official word from the Django project is that this should raise an error, and you should include the .map files if possible, see https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/33353.

Other projects have fixed this issue by just removing the sourceMappingURL lines, e.g. https://github.com/farridav/django-jazzmin/issues/488. I will put up a PR to remove them here as well.
