CompileError: WebAssembly.instantiate(): Wasm code generation disallowed by embedder

Hey folks, I'm trying to run a wasm file compiled by emscripten on CF workers. It's working fine locally, but when I try it in production I get:

failed to asynchronously prepare wasm: CompileError: WebAssembly.instantiate(): Wasm code generation disallowed by embedder

failed to asynchronously prepare wasm: CompileError: WebAssembly.instantiate(): Wasm code generation disallowed by embedder

This page seems to indicate that WebAssembly.instantiate should work, am I missing something? https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/webassembly/

The module can't be inlined as a buffer, it needs to be uploaded as a separate .wasm file

Thanks for taking the time to answer. It is; the emscripten glue is fetching it The error happens on instantiate, but the fetch code before works without error:

function Ea(a) {
    return y || "function" != typeof fetch ? Promise.resolve().then(function() {
        return Da(a)
    }) : fetch(a, {
        credentials: "same-origin"
    }).then(function(b) {
        if (!b.ok) throw "failed to load wasm binary file at '" + a + "'";
        return b.arrayBuffer()
    }).catch(function() {
        return Da(a)
    })
}

function Fa(a, b, c) {
    return Ea(a).then(function(d) {
        return WebAssembly.instantiate(d, b)
    }).then(function(d) {
        return d
    }).then(c, function(d) {
        w("failed to asynchronously prepare wasm: " + d);
        z(d)
    })
}

function Ea(a) {
    return y || "function" != typeof fetch ? Promise.resolve().then(function() {
        return Da(a)
    }) : fetch(a, {
        credentials: "same-origin"
    }).then(function(b) {
        if (!b.ok) throw "failed to load wasm binary file at '" + a + "'";
        return b.arrayBuffer()
    }).catch(function() {
        return Da(a)
    })
}

function Fa(a, b, c) {
    return Ea(a).then(function(d) {
        return WebAssembly.instantiate(d, b)
    }).then(function(d) {
        return d
    }).then(c, function(d) {
        w("failed to asynchronously prepare wasm: " + d);
        z(d)
    })
}

Fetch as in from a URL? That's basically the same thing as loading it as a Buffer.

xeon06OP•11mo ago

Yeah fetched from a URL How should I proceed? Does it need to be like bundled in? My understanding was that .wasm code is typically fetched over the network, and I was thinking this would help with worker bundle size given the wasm file is almost 1mb itself

kian•11mo ago

It needs to be bundled

xeon06OP•11mo ago

Sorry I'm slightly confused, above when you said "it needs to be uploaded as a separate .wasm file", that's not contrary to the idea of bundling it? I assume something like this https://vitejs.dev/guide/features#webassembly which will include it in the bundle. I also realized that paid is now 10mb. I'll give that a go, thanks for the help.
