Summary

Rollbar has introduced Source Maps support for JavaScript, a highly requested feature that simplifies debugging production errors by mapping minified code back to the original source code. This enhancement is available for all accounts and aims to improve error resolution by providing clearer stack traces and more effective error grouping. To enable this feature, users must modify the on-page JavaScript snippet with specific parameters and ensure that either a sourceMappingURL comment is included in the minified file or that the source map is uploaded separately during the deployment process. While the feature supports Chrome, Firefox, and IE10+ for caught errors, it relies on stack traces with line and column numbers, which browsers inconsistently support, particularly for uncaught errors. Rollbar offers a 14-day free trial for new users to explore this and other error management capabilities.
