Build ID: 20180403220040

Steps to reproduce:

I've got a css with sourcemaps like this:

```
::-moz-selection {
  background-color: var(--color--action);
  color: #ffffff;
}

::selection {
  background-color: var(--color--action);
  color: #ffffff;
}

/*# sourceMappingURL=data:application/json;base64,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 */
```


Actual results:

The result is a warning: Source map error: Error: sourceMapURL could not be parsed


Expected results:

I think it's because sourcemaps should be written like `//# sourceMappingURL=` as said there https://sourcemaps.io/

However, you can't do this kind of comment in CSS. So `/*# sourceMappingURL=` should be accepted too(?).
Component: Untriaged → Developer Tools
Blocks: source-maps
That form of comment definitely works.  You can try a simple example here:

https://tromey.github.io/source-map-examples/css/index.html

Instead I think the problem comes from the URL itself.  In particular I think the error
is thrown here:

https://github.com/mozilla/source-map/blob/master/lib/util.js#L529

source-map uses a phony URL parser that does:

var urlRegexp = /^(?:([\w+\-.]+):)?\/\/(?:(\w+:\w+)@)?([\w.-]*)(?::(\d+))?(.*)$/;
...
  var match = aUrl.match(urlRegexp);

Sure enough, this doesn't work for the data: URL here.

I think the best fix would be to change source-map to use URL directly.
This should be possible now that it requires newer versions of node.
Upstream bug is here: https://github.com/mozilla/source-map/issues/275

Though once that is fixed it will need a new release, then a new devtools-core release,
then landing in M-C.
