Thanks, committed - though I did add a bundle-dev target to the Makefile for convenience.

I'm a little concerned though that the query history still doesn't work in dev mode. Is that fixable?

​That's an issue with ReactJS and I had logged a ticket​

The solution is pass `production` flag in place of `envType` in `dev` mode too.

const definePlugin = new webpack.DefinePlugin({

​  ​

'process.env': {

​     ​

'NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify(envType),

​ // In dev mode envType is `development`​

​  ​

},
});

What would be the effect of that? No source map being generated for React?

​Only React is using definePlugin's '

NODE_ENV'

​ variable​

for writing debug-only statements in React code.

​ It will have no effect on functionality. It is used to reduce React bundle size by eliminating debug-only code when run in `production` mode.

React code is like:

function implementSomeReactBehavior() {     // do actual work part 1      if(process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") {         // do debug-only work, like recording perf stats     }      // do actual work part 2  
}

We are not generating source maps for vendor libraries including React. We generate source maps for pgAdmin4 modules only for debugging purpose.

OK, in that case can you please tweak our build so React is always in prod mode, regardless of everything else? We really shouldn't have things that only work in one mode.

Thanks!
