Currently, when you use .version() in elixir, it places the versioned files in the public/build/ directory, we all are used to this. However, source mapping ( sourceMappingURL ) support has just been added to javascript files, but the problem I am encountering is that the url that it generates is to the public/build/ directory but the .map file is in the non-build directory (where ever you have it outputting the original file)... this is causing a 404 error for every javascript/css files .map file.

Although this is not that big of a deal, I was wondering if anyone else has managed to fix it, and how?

I was thinking of writing an extension for elixir that will generate a rev-manifest.json file which only contains the hashes, and doesn't move versioned files to the /public/build/ directory upon using .version(), so when elixir is used via blade, it will only output something like all.css?TheHashString instead of creating a new file for every change.. this would stop the need to .gitignore these files as there will ever only be 1.

thoughts?
