I’m trying to run [this](http://weavejl.mpastell.com/stable/usage/#weave) weave example on a [Genie.jl](https://github.com/GenieFramework/Genie.jl) server. However, it seems to block for some reason and not progress at all after a point.

To be precise, it blocks at this point.

```nohighlight
└ Web Server starting at http://127.0.0.1:8000 - press Ctrl/Cmd+C to stop the server. 
┌ Info: Weaving chunk 1 from line 19
└ progress = 0.0
┌ Info: Weaving chunk 2 from line 42
└ progress = 0.16666666666666666
┌ Info: Weaving chunk 3 from line 71
└ progress = 0.3333333333333333
┌ Info: Weaving chunk 4 from line 83
└ progress = 0.5
┌ Info: Weaving chunk 5 from line 88
└ progress = 0.6666666666666666

```

I can’t even seem to Ctrl+C/Ctrl+D quit the process either.

`htop` tells me that the `julia` process is still using my system resources though.  
I also seem to be able to run the weave example normally from a REPL. Could someone help me figure out what’s going on here and how I could fix this?

This is the file I include from REPL to get the server running.

```julia
using Weave
using Genie, Genie.Router, Genie.Renderer.Json, Genie.Requests
using HTTP

route("/weave") do
    weave("x.jmd"; out_path=:pwd)
    return
end

Genie.startup(async = false)

```

Note - here, `x.jmd` is the `Weave.SAMPLE_JC_DOC` file.

Update -  
The workaround in the comment here - [https://github.com/JunoLab/Weave.jl/issues/310#issuecomment-917442717](https://github.com/JunoLab/Weave.jl/issues/310#issuecomment-917442717) - worked for me.
