"physi.js" causes the error: "Script cannot be accessed from origin 'null'"

Question

I was trying to play with physi.js library (). I followed all the steps given:

However, I got the error:

Uncaught SecurityError: Failed to construct 'Worker': Script at 'file://172.16.159.200/js/physijs_worker.js' cannot be accessed from origin 'null'.

I tried to go deeper, and saw that the problem with the line:

this._worker = new Worker( Physijs.scripts.worker || 'physijs_worker.js' );

What did cause that issue? The browser is Google Chrome. I checked, the file "physijs_worker.js" appears in the right location.

Browsers don't allow creating workers from local files because that would be a security issue.

Deploy your website on a web server. Without the web server I get the same error.

Sweet. Works like a champ. Thank you. – Rod Hartzell Feb 17 '19 at 01:07
Sadly this doesn't work on macOS/ using Brave. The extension installs, but running the app (you can find in through spotlight) launches the app but no windows appear. – Ben Butterworth May 13 '21 at 12:34
