extract-text-webpack-plugin - extracting scss results in no mapping in main.css.map

Question

I've managed to extract 2 scss files into 1 css file, but I've noticed the source and mappings in main.css.map are empty:

{"version":3,"sources":[],"names":[],"mappings":"","file":"./main.css","sourceRoot":""}

My webpack.config.js:

var autoprefixer = require('autoprefixer');
var ExtractTextPlugin = require("extract-text-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
    devtool: 'source-map',
    module:  {
        loaders: [
                {test: /\.(png|woff|woff2|eot|ttf|svg)$/, loader: 'url-loader?limit=100000'},
                { 
                    test:   /\.scss$/,
                    loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract(['css', 'sass'])
                }
            }
        ]
    },

    entry:   [
        './static/js/app.js'
    ],

    output:  {
        filename: './static/js/bundle.js'
    },

    watch:   false,

    plugins: [
        new ExtractTextPlugin("./main.css")
    ]
};

My app.js:

var $ = require('jquery');
window.jQuery = $;
window.$ = $;
require('bootstrap-loader');

module.exports = (function () {
    alert('IT WORKS!');
});

window.app = module.exports;

require('./../css/main.scss');
require('./../css/main2.scss');

webpack's output from terminal:

As you can see main.css is generated along with main.map.css, but at this point it's pretty useless, because inside there is no mapping at all.

Finally, after struggling with numerous combinations, I figured it out. Syntax for using these css loaders can give a headache and apparently was changed as webpack evolved, because some older examples that work for others oddly didn't work for me.

Despite already having devtools: 'source-map' option I also needed to change loaders from:

{ 
    test:   /\.scss$/,
    loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract(['css', 'sass'])
}

into:

{
    test:   /\.scss$/,
    loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract(['css-loader?sourceMap', 'sass-loader?sourceMap'])
}

and thanks to this inspecting my css file in Dev Tools is correctly pointing to both scss files now.
