Weave hangs at the introduction example

[newptcai]

I tried the following code from the document.

(weave) pkg> st
Status `~/Work/weave/Project.toml`
  [717857b8] DSP v0.6.6
  [91a5bcdd] Plots v1.2.0
  [44d3d7a6] Weave v0.9.4

julia> using Weave

julia> weave(joinpath(dirname(pathof(Weave)), "../examples", "FIR_design.jmd"),
         out_path=:pwd,
         doctype = "md2html")
[ Info: Weaving chunk 1 from line 42

[ Info: Weaving chunk 2 from line 71
[ Info: Weaving chunk 3 from line 83
[ Info: Weaving chunk 4 from line 88

And it stops at line 88 for a few minutes until I ran out of patience.

can you try on the latest Weave version ?:

Now it hangs at a different place

julia> weave(joinpath(dirname(pathof(Weave)), "../examples", "FIR_design.jmd"),
                out_path=:pwd,
                doctype = "md2html")

└   progress = 0.5
┌ Info: Weaving chunk 5 from line 95
└   progress = 0.6666666666666666

However, this works if I change the example file and only weave the first 3 chuncks

julia> weave("./FIR_design.jmd",
                out_path=:pwd,
                doctype = "md2html")

I'm seeing the same issue. Seems to happen on plot blocks. I can make it progress by sending ^c when it gets stuck. @newptcai did you find a workaround for this?

I had a similar problem #436 . You may try to see if the following workaround works for you.

ENV["GKSwstype"]="nul"
weave(joinpath(dirname(pathof(Weave)), "../examples", "FIR_design.jmd"),
                out_path=:pwd,
                doctype = "md2html")
ENV["GKSwstype"]="gksqt"

[AbhimanyuAryan]

@pdubya yes it opens an executable name GKSwstype (I guess maybe some library) which is causing this problem. Sending ctrl+c produces the output file. I confirm :)

[jjstickel]

I am experiencing the same problem, running weave from the REPL in a graphical terminal on an Ubuntu system, where weave hangs at plot commands . As reported, ^C allows it to continue and produces a result. The workaround mentioned by @Ossifragus does work, but I also found that using the PyPlot backend also works. So that suggests the problem is related to the gr backend.

I had the same issue when running SciML/SciMLBenchmarks notebooks and @Ossifragus worked for me as well. This is such a non-obvious error. It would be good to somehow alert the user about it.
