I am trying to import json data from web worker using importScripts
, the following error occurs.
Uncaught NetworkError: Failed to execute 'importScripts' on 'WorkerGlobalScope': The script at (my:URL to fetch data from server) failed to load.
Web worker code is here. I am able to send basic messages from my web worker thread and main js thread. I want to fetch jsonp data from my server from web worker thread and then reply to main js thread.
/*web worker js file to fetch json data from server and then return to main javascript thread*/
self.onmessage = function(e)
{
var curr = setInterval(function()
{
var message = e.data;
fetchMyTournament(message);
}, 10000);
}
function fetchMyTournament(userid)
{
self.postMessage('worker saying hi');
var url = "(server URL mapping)?callback=processInfo&type=(typeOfArgument)&userId="+userid;
importScripts(url);
self.postMessage("After import script");
}
function processInfo(objJSON)
{
self.postMessage("Data returned from the server...: "
+ JSON.stringify(objJSON));
}
importScript() must be placed outside of a function. For your case you should use fetch(url). You should also add async to each function, and use it this way:
let message = fetchMyTournament(message).then(function(result){return result;});
