#18778·svelte

Plugin source map still not properly chained

Author: K1DV5Created Sep 5, 2026Updated Sep 5, 2026

Describe the bug

I am referring to my previous issue #18491, which was closed by #18518. The problem is still there in the latest version (5.57.0). I tried to follow the explanation of the PR and played with adding source and file in various forms and I couldn't get it working. I tried to inspect the variables in node_modules/svelte/src/compiler/utils/mapped_code.js inside the function combine_sourcemaps and checking conditions, reversing orders, etc. but I couldn't find the root cause.

Reproduction

Since the reproduction can't work in the REPL, and since it is fairly small, I'll provide the files here.

Start from the svelte template in npm create vite@latest, install magic-string, and edit only these two files:

vite.config.js

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import { svelte } from '@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte'
import MagicString from 'magic-string'

// https://vite.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        {
            name: "tst",
            transform(code, id) {
                if (!id.includes('App.svelte')) {
                    return
                }
                const m = new MagicString(code)
                m.appendRight(10, 'let leben = 42\n\n')
                return {
                    code: m.toString(),
                    map: m.generateMap(/* add {file: id}, {source: id}, {file: 'App.svelte'}, etc */),
                }
            },
        },
        svelte()
    ],
})

App.svelte

<script>

console.error('helo')

</script>

Hello, see devtools

Then run it, go to devtools, and look at the location of the console.error message, it will be at the beginning of the script block, not at the actual location.
