Description

Not sure where this issue should go but I will open it here and you can move it if needed.

I was just experimenting with some features in internal google3 projects. I ran some galleries locally and opened Dart DevTools via the chrome extension. I was seeing very strange behavior when I set breakpoints and reloaded. The current position was jumping all over and even stopping in comments. I finally realized that I had source maps disabled in Chrome DevTools. When I enabled source maps and reloaded Dart DevTools everything worked as expected.

Is there a way we could detect this situation and warn the user that they need to be enabled?

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Dart DevTools Chrome extension integration and determine whether it can observe Chrome DevTools source-map settings; done means warning users when source maps are disabled.
