corner case behavior when trying to debug javascript

[sethladd]

interesting... I didn't realize that pub build doesn't just delete the entire build/ dir.

I assume 'built with app' means pub build ?

[devoncarew]

Yup; using pub build meant I could see the problem in the compiled app (what I was debugging), but had a hard time because of the minification. pub build --mode=debug built the debuggable version of the app but this transformer didn't run on the index.html file; the app didn't start.

I realized I could have worked around it by changing the foo.dart application/dart reference to the compiled ref - foo.dart.js.

I was confused why this didn't work for you in debug mode. Then I saw this: Note that I am not using the browser packages dart.js file; I use this transformer instead.

You can leave the dart.js file in your index.html, because this transformer removes the dart.js reference when you do a production build.

[devoncarew]

Yeah, I should probably just leave browser in (perhaps move it to a dev dependency).

[sethladd]

Yes, leave browser's dart.js in your HTML and this transformer will remove it. Or should. If it doesn't, it's a bug in this transformer.
