Loading extensions from core_nightly returns an error

[tom-grove]

What happens?

I am unable to load any extensions from core_nightly. They all return a CORS error.

I'm including two screenshots. One, is from the browser console of an application that uses DuckDB WASM and tries to load excel from core_nightly and fails. The other, is from the DuckDB WASM page. I'm just using the built-in shell to try to install and load extensions from core_nightly and it fails in the same way.

To Reproduce

Open a duckdb console and execute the following commands:

INSTALL excel FROM core_nightly;
LOAD excel;

OS:

any

DuckDB Version:

any

DuckDB Client:

any

Hardware:

No response

Not sure if this is the same problem, but a fresh install of duckdb 1.4.2 on osx is not loading the ui extension:

duckdb -ui
Extension Autoloading Error:
An error occurred while trying to automatically install the required extension 'ui':
Failed to download extension "ui" at URL "http://extensions.duckdb.org/v1.4.2/osx_arm64/ui.duckdb_extension.gz" (HTTP 404)
Extension "ui" is an existing extension.

@alexmacnorthstar the OP is mentioning the Wasm (WebAssembly) client of DuckDB, which cannot install extensions from core_nightly. The ui, which uses the Node.js client, will be out soon, see: duckdb/duckdb-ui@50d0bcb
