ERROR desktop.min.css.map
Hello. We are having a problem with a course, students sometimes report problems with it. 
Using Chrome's code inspector we get the following warning:
DevTools failed to load source map: Failed to load content from https....html5/lib/stylesheets/desktop.min.css.map: HTTP Error: status code 404, net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE
Could that be the problem and how to fix it? Thank you

- VeljkoRoskarCommunity MemberWe have the same problem. SuccessFactors Learning lms. Can a solution be provided here please? DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for https://redacted/desktop.min.css.map: HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE 
- Hello Veljko! - Thanks so much for reaching out! I have created a support case on your behalf and included the error message you have provided for our Support Engineers. You will be hearing from them shortly. - We'll continue the conversation over in the support case. - Have a great afternoon! 
- TresaMuvasCommunity MemberHello, I've been testing the recent update and I also encountered this error. Can you post the resolution here please? Thanks! 
- Hi Tresa, and welcome to the E-Learning Heroes community! ✨ - I'm sorry to hear that you're receiving this error message. I'm happy to help troubleshoot! I'd like to ask a few clarifying questions to start. - Is the course uploaded to a web server or an LMS?
- When do you encounter this error? Is it when launching the course or while viewing it?
- Does this happen with one specific course or multiple courses?
 - I'll look out for your response! 
- JannisGoossensCommunity MemberHi, I have the same problem - a certain slide doesn't load and in the Dev-Console of Chrome (Version 115.0.5790.110) I receive the https://redacted/desktop.min.css.map: HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE as posted above. In Firefox, there is no problem, also when launched locally, all runs fine, even in Chrome. The course is just uploaded on a standard webserver, no LMS. Do you already have fix or a workaround or some hint what causes this in Chrome? 
- Jürgen_Schoene_Community Memberthis error message is only if you open the browser console and has no effect for the operability background: the library scripts in the web player are minimized and the .map files are only for debugging the javascript (Update: or css) @articulate: you should fix this glitch - it distracts from the real errors 
- JannisGoossensCommunity MemberThank you, Jürgen! Obviously, I didn't know this :-) However, any methods / ideas / fixes / workarounds @ articulate? 
- Jürgen_Schoene_Community Memberthe fix is very easy (for articulate*) remove in the file "./stylesheets/desktop.min.css" the text at the end /*# sourceMappingURL=desktop.min.css.map */ and in "./stylesheets/mobile.min.css" the text /*# sourceMappingURL=mobile.min.css.map */ or add the files "desktop.min.css.map", "mobile.min.css.map" to the published files * if you do this for yourself, you have to redo it after (every) publish 
- JannisGoossensCommunity MemberTHANKS again, Jürgen, very nice! Unfortunately, that didn't fix the problem with endless loading one specific slide in Chrome. As said, this only occurs in Chrome and only when loaded from a server. In Firefox there is no problem with the slide and also in Chrome when started from a local folder, all runs fine. I will now try to rebuild the slide differently and see if I'm lucky :-) @articulate: I can of course share error codes from my Chrome Debug console, if this helps researching.
