Monaco-Editor fails on oracle jet build/serve when in release mode

Question

I'm trying to implement the Monaco editor within my oracle jet web application. I've tried with the dev and min folders. It works fine when I run serve without the release mode option but when I include --release on build or serve it is throwing the below error

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/web/js/libs/vs/editor/edcore.main.js'

I'm not sure why Monaco is needing the file as that file is not included in either the dev or min folders but it is referenced in the "vs/editor/editor.main.js" file and that is where the error is coming from.

Within Oracle Jet for Require JS the info is stored in the path mapping json as follows :

"vs": {
  "cdn": "3rdparty",
  "cwd": "node_modules/monaco-editor/dev/vs",
  "debug": {
    "src": ["**"],
    "path": "libs/vs/",
    "cdnPath": ""
  },
  "release": {
    "src": ["**"],
    "path": "libs/vs",
    "cdnPath": ""
  }
},

Again, everything is perfect when not optimized into a single js file in the browser using the release option

You should remove the monaco editor library from the optimization. Add to your before_optimize hook:

configObj.componentRequireJs.paths['vs'] = 'empty:';
configObj.requireJs.paths['vs'] = 'empty:';
