Recording Makie animations in Pluto stalls indefinitely

[czimm79]

The Pluto cell never completes when I attempt to record an animation when using the Makie record function. I am forced to terminate the notebook and delete the record function to repair the notebook. I've let it run for 10+ minutes and it never completes.

This code works as expected when executed in the REPL, so I believe this is a Pluto issue. Notebook file: https://gist.github.com/czimm79/6755a35e0f48e894cb94550a1dd9ed68

Seems related to #2121, one workaround can be to use Pluto.run(capture_stdout=false)

[czimm79]

I still get the same behavior even after starting Pluto with Pluto.run(capture_stdout=false).

I have the same problem and Pluto.run(capture_stdout=false) does help.

Although I would like if it could play on and on automatically, like a gif. is this possible or something must change in Makie's end ?

The loop attribute could be added to the HTML <video> tag that's returned by Base.show in Makie (https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/blob/master/src/display.jl#L603) to do that. As a workaround until it can be done programmatically, you could just right-click the video and check "Loop".
