In order to use source map  you should change devtool option value from true to the value which available in this list  for instance source-map  devtool   source-map       devtool   source-map  - A SourceMap is emitted

If optimizing for dev   production  you could try something like this in your config  const dev   process env NODE ENV      production      in config      devtool  dev    eval-cheap-module-source-map     source-map      From the docs   devtool   quot eval-cheap-module-source-map quot  offers SourceMaps that only maps lines  no column mappings  and are much faster devtool   quot source-map quot  cannot cache SourceMaps for modules and need to regenerate complete SourceMap for the chunk  It   s something for production   I am using webpack 2 1 0-beta 19

Maybe someone else has this problem at one point  If you use the UglifyJsPlugin in webpack 2 you need to explicitly specify the sourceMap flag  For example   new webpack optimize UglifyJsPlugin   sourceMap  true

Even same issue I faced  in browser it was showing compiled code  I have made below changes in webpack config file and it is working fine now    devtool    inline-source-map    debug  true    and in loaders I kept babel-loader as first option   loaders            loader   babel-loader       include   path resolve   dirname   src             test     js    exclude    app  lib    node modules    loader   ng-annotate babel         test     html    loader   raw             test      jpe g png gif svg   i      loaders           file hash sha512 amp digest hex amp name  hash   ext           image-webpack bypassOnDebug amp optimizationLevel 7 amp interlaced false                test     less    loader   style css less        test     styl    loader   style css stylus         test     css    loader   style css

On Webpack 2 I tried all 12 devtool options  The following options link to the original file in the console and preserve line numbers  See the note below re  lines only   https   webpack js org configuration devtool  devtool best dev options                                  build   rebuild      quality                       look eval-source-map                 slow    pretty fast  original source               worst inline-source-map               slow    slow         original source               medium cheap-module-eval-source-map    medium  fast         original source  lines only   worst inline-cheap-module-source-map  medium  pretty slow  original source  lines only   best   lines only  Source Maps are simplified to a single mapping per line  This usually means a single mapping per statement  assuming you author is this way   This prevents you from debugging execution on statement level and from settings breakpoints on columns of a line  Combining with minimizing is not possible as minimizers usually only emit a single line   REVISITING THIS  On a large project I find     eval-source-map rebuild time is  3 5s     inline-source-map rebuild time is  7s
