- jQuery's jquery-1.10.2.min.map is triggering a 404 (Not Found) 11 answers
I have a web page that is part of a ASP.NET web site running on Azure. It's run fine for quite a while now. Out of the blue, I am suddenly having a problem with the browser trying to download a ".map" for Underscore.js. I did some reading and apparently JQuery creates ".map" files as debugging aids for Javascript source files (".js"). However, if I look at the Scripts directory for my web site I see that this only happens for some JQuery source files and not all and I am not sure what the pattern is.
However, why would the browser be trying to load a "map" file for Underscore.js which is not part of JQuery? Also, why would this suddenly start happening? I added Underscore.js to the web page quite some time ago and never had this problem before.
The exact error I get when I look in the Chrome Debugger Console tab is:
GET http://myazureapp.cloudapp.net/Scripts/underscore-min.map 404 (Not Found) Scripts/underscore-min.map:1
