Description

Hi, when building to pdf from HTML, I got these errors

xaringanBuilder::build_pdf('xxx.html', complex_slides = T, partial_slides = T)
Error: Chromote: timed out waiting for response to command Target.createTarget

And sometimes

Error: Chromote: timed out waiting for event Page.loadEventFired

I'm wondering what may cause this and how may I prevent it?

Thank you!

Research direction

Start with the xaringanBuilder::build_pdf call and the two reported Chromote timeout messages, using the provided HTML build as a reproduction case. Investigate what causes Target.createTarget or Page.loadEventFired to time out and document a reliable prevention or handling approach; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
