Eel sometimes takes infinitely long to render a webpage #702

Open

Description

@padfoot9445

Eel version
0.16.0

Describe the bug
At seemingly random, eel never exits the loading page
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. create simple application using eel
  2. run it multiple times until the page fails to load

Expected behavior
The page should have loaded properly every time
System Information

  • OS: Microsoft Windows 11 Home System Type x64-based PC
  • Browser: chrome 116
  • Python Distribution: Python 3.11.5 (tags/v3.11.5:cce6ba9, Aug 24 2023, 14:38:34) [MSC v.1936 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

Additional context
as reccomended by #393, i added the print statement. Every file parses even when it doesnt load properly.
