At the execution of the github example : converter.convert(source) is hanging

[yaelamraoui]

Bug

when I launch docling on the github example the execution is stuck at the converter.convert(source)
...

Steps to reproduce

launch the example
from docling.document_converter import DocumentConverter

source = "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2408.09869" # document per local path or URL
converter = DocumentConverter()
result = converter.convert(source)
print(result.document.export_to_markdown()) # output: "## Docling Technical Report[...]"
...

Docling version

I had the issue with both the 2.20 and 2.21.0 and 2.18.0 and 2.19.0 and 2.15.0
...

Python version

Python 3.11.7
...

Side note

This morning it was working and suddenly the issue appeared
the issue is on linux environment but when I ran it on my windows it worked

@yaelamraoui There is a chance that you see things hanging if you are on a non-responsive network connection. You could verify that by checking out how to run docling entirely offline, without checking huggingface for models. See here: https://ds4sd.github.io/docling/usage/#model-prefetching-and-offline-usage

Please let me know if that helped.

@cau-git I did download it on local and ran the command line docling --artifacts-path="/local/path/to/models" FILE but its still hanging
I also ran the python code as described on the link you provided and it's still hanging
