ST_READ (spatial extension) fails to load in DuckDB-WASM

[jheer]

What happens?

Earlier DuckDB-WASM versions could successfully use the spatial extension, including the ST_READ method to read various geometry data formats. This no longer appears to work, as ST_READ fails with an error.

To Reproduce

Here is a transcript from the online DuckDB-WASM shell:

duckdb> INSTALL spatial;
┌┐
└┘

duckdb> LOAD spatial;
┌┐
└┘

duckdb> CREATE TABLE nyc AS SELECT * FROM ST_READ(‘https://raw.githubusercontent.com/duckdb/duckdb-spatial/main/test/data/nyc_taxi/taxi_zones/taxi_zones.shp');
Invalid Error: [object WebAssembly.Exception]

I would expect the data to load. Instead, Invalid Error: [object WebAssembly.Exception] occurs.

I have seen the same error with other files including GeoJSON and TopoJSON data. This is a breaker for adopting more recent dev versions of DuckDB-WASM; version 1.29.0 does not exhibit this error.

Thanks!

Thanks, I reproduce, somehow glob is handled wrongly, or at the very least differently than expected.

I will ping back later when I have a fix, thanks for raising.

Fixed, for example check: https://shell.duckdb.org/#queries=v0,LOAD-spatial~%0ACREATE-TABLE-nyc-AS-SELECT-*-FROM-ST_READ('https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fduckdb%2Fduckdb%20spatial%2Fmain%2Ftest%2Fdata%2Fnyc_taxi%2Ftaxi_zones%2Ftaxi_zones.shp')~%0A

Thanks! While this works for me in Chrome and Safari, I'm now seeing a different error in Firefox:

duckdb> LOAD spatial;
   ...> CREATE TABLE nyc AS SELECT * FROM ST_READ('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/duckdb/duckdb-spatial/main/test/data/nyc_taxi/taxi_zones/taxi_zones.shp');
   ...> 
Invalid Error: missing , or ]

The WASM shell version is: @duckdb/duckdb-wasm@1.29.1-dev159.0

Thanks for checking!
