How to disable `ts` sources maps debugging

Question

I'm trying to debug TS project. WebStorm automatically picks up source maps and show original ts files. I don't want to use source maps and debug generated js files. How can I disable usage of source maps in WebStorm?

NOTE: this question is not about how to disable source maps generation, it's about how to disable source maps usage during debugging

no way; when the generated file is loaded, debugger finds the sourcemap by //# sourceMappingURL comment in it and then resolves original file using sourcemap. You can try deleting the comments from generated files (if you are permitted to do this) — lena

One option is to check if there's a tsconfig.json file and in it, you can disable the sourceMap generation:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "sourceMap": false
  }
}

Another option, is to disable the use of source map files in your browser's debugger, for instance in Chrome you can uncheck this option:

Under Settings -> Preferences

as I mention in my question,

this question is not about how to disable source maps generation, it's about how to disable source maps usage during debugging

and I'm debugging in WebStorm, not a browser
