### Source maps
-Cypress utilizes source maps to enhance the error experience. Stack traces are
-translated so that your source files are shown instead of the generated file
-that is loaded by the browser. This also enables displaying code frames. Without
-inline source maps, you will not see code frames.
-
-By default, Cypress will include an inline source map in your spec file, so you
-will get the most out of the error experience. If you
-[modify the preprocessor](/api/node-events/preprocessors-api), ensure that inline
-source maps are enabled to get the same experience. Some examples of this include:
-
-- With webpack and the
- [webpack preprocessor](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/tree/develop/npm/webpack-preprocessor), set
- [the `devtool` option](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/devtool/) to
- `inline-source-map`.
-- With esbuild and the
- [esbuild preprocessor](https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-esbuild-preprocessor/tree/main), set
- [the `sourcemap` option](https://esbuild.github.io/api/#sourcemap) to `inline` when
- [creating the bundler](https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-esbuild-preprocessor#esbuild-options).
-- With cucumber and the
- [cucumber preprocessor](https://github.com/badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor/tree/master)
- third party bundlers are used to bundle the code.
- - For esbuild and the
- [esbuild preprocessor](https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-esbuild-preprocessor/tree/main),
- set [the `sourcemap` option](https://esbuild.github.io/api/#sourcemap) to `inline` when
- [creating the bundler](https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-esbuild-preprocessor#esbuild-options).
- Note: the cucumber preprocessor documentation for the esbuild bundler describes an experimental
- option: `prettySourceMaps`, but this option is buggy and setting source maps on the esbuild
- bundler directly works better.
- - The other bundlers all default their source maps appropriately.
