hi @avelad, what is the reason for changing the bug report to a question?

[pseidemann]

@shaka-bot change to bug

[avelad]

Try to use import * as shaka from 'shaka-player'

[pseidemann]

hi @avelad, same problem. I've never encountered this issue with other node packages. I think there must be something wrong how shaka is packaged for npm.

This refers to sources that don't exist. These are polyfills built into the compiler.

[joeyparrish]

I'm not sure we can do much about that, either. The Closure compiler writes the sourcemap.

This should stop being an issue after we move to TypeScript. In the meantime, those seem like harmless warnings you can ignore.

[pseidemann]

hi @joeyparrish, thanks for looking into it! I'm wondering: why are these files referenced in the first place? I can't find these paths when I grep inside the node package.

I'm using shaka-player.ui and the file shaka-player.ui.map does exist. why would these other maps be needed?

[pseidemann]

correction: these paths do exist inside the *.map files. I think that's the mistake.

node_modules/shaka-player $ grep -r -l 'src/com' .
./dist/shaka-player.ui.debug.map
./dist/shaka-player.compiled.debug.map
./dist/shaka-player.compiled.map
./dist/shaka-player.ui.map

[joeyparrish]

correction: these paths do exist inside the *.map files. I think that's the mistake.

That's right. They exist only in the source code of the Closure Compiler, not in the player repo at all. The compiler synthesizes our sources together with ES6 polyfills, and the virtual paths of those polyfills show up in the map.

[pseidemann]

gotcha. one reason why this is maybe more than an annoyance, is that the CRA/webpack stack doesn't allow to disable source maps for single packages. so the only way to remove these warnings from stdout is to disable source maps entirely, which is not really desired while developing. stdout needs to be warning-free so compiler errors and warnings can be easily spotted while developing

[joeyparrish]

Sorry for the inconvenience. We won't be using the Closure Compiler forever. We'll update to modern tooling as soon as we have the bandwidth for it. Internal projects are taking more of our time right now.
