Reference local geojson file in custom visual

Hi,

 

I have a custom visual that shows polygons in Google Maps taken from a geojson file using:

 

map.data.loadGeoJson()
 
 
Using the google example referencing an external file works fine:
 
map.data.loadGeoJson('https://storage.googleapis.com/mapsdevsite/json/google.json');
 
However, referencing the exact same file locally does not work:
 
map.data.loadGeoJson('google.json');
 
Do I miss something here?
 
Thanks

As a workaround I tried to reference the file from a CDN:

 

map.data.loadGeoJson('https://storage.googleapis.com/.../google.json');

 

but now it throws an error that the file request has been 'blocked by CORS policy'.

 

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://storage.googleapis.com/.../google.json' from origin 'null' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Do I need to configure the debug server in some way?

 

Thanks
