With spatial extension, writing file raise a GDAL error (only in wasm)

[TomBor]

What happens?

Writing a file with the spatial extension in duckbb wasm raise a GDAL error (IO Error: GDAL Error (3): Cannot write feature).

COPY table TO 'polygon.geojson' WITH (FORMAT 'GDAL', DRIVER 'GeoJSON');

I also wrote a similar issue in the spatial repo #363

I'm getting the same error in https://www.quackdb.com/, another DuckDB WASM environment

This will get you round the issue in the mean time:

await db.registerFileHandle('tmp_results.geojson', new Uint8Array(), 0, true);  // Duck/Spatial needs this but can't create is for some reason?
await db.registerFileHandle('results.geojson', new Uint8Array(), 0, true); // The file name you want to use without the 'tmp_' prefix

await connection.query(`
  copy (
    select * 
    from 'area_data.parquet'
  ) to 'results.geojson'
  with (
    FORMAT GDAL, DRIVER 'GeoJSON', LAYER_CREATION_OPTIONS 'WRITE_BBOX=YES'
  );`
);
const geojson_buffer = await db.copyFileToBuffer('results.geojson');
const link = URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([geojson_buffer]));
console.log("geojson url: ", link);
