Hi, I’ve attempted to fix a bug in Makie, and am attempting to run the tests.

I’ve got an environment with Makie, GLMakie, CairoMakie and ReferenceTests all `dev`’d. I then typed `]test Makie`.

tests never finished, so I ctrl+c’d and got:

```

It seems like it’s getting stuck on `No hang when closing IOCapture.capture over VideoStream`. I commented out my changes and tried again, and the same thing seems to be happening (I let it run for around 5 mins, 229/230 pass again).

Are there any suggestions on what to do? Thanks for your help
