Loading Extensions

[sswatson]

When I do create table foo (j json); in the DuckDB Shell, it works fine. Per the documentation, the JSON extension is installed and loaded automatically.

However, I made my own browser-embedded DuckDB editor, and whenever the user submits code that requires the JSON extension, they get this message:

Error: IO Error: Can't find the home directory at '/home/web_user'
Specify a home directory using the SET home_directory='/path/to/dir' option.

I'm using version 1.28.0 of duckdb-wasm, and I'm loading it using the boilerplate supplied in the docs. I noticed that home_directory is not set in my app or the DuckDB Shell, so it seems like something has gone wrong by the time it even starts looking for the home directory.

Curious if anyone has run into similar issues or has any tips for how I might troubleshoot this problem.

Turns out the issue was just that I was on 1.28.0, and the autoloading stuff was added later (for example, in latest, which is 1.28.1-dev106).
