Ah, thanks for raising this.
I managed to totally bork my dev instance just before Christmas and on rebuilding, I installed with --production as well without really thinking through the consequences. I now get warnings like this both in the browser console and on the Node-RED log:
ui_base - error: { [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'C:\src\nr2\data\node_modules\node-red-dashboard\dist\js\gridstack.min.map']
errno: -4058,
code: 'ENOENT',
syscall: 'stat',
path:
'C:\\src\\nr2\\data\\node_modules\\node-red-dashboard\\dist\\js\\gridstack.min.map',
expose: false,
statusCode: 404,
status: 404 }
As Dave say's it is only a warning but annoying anyway.
