[BUG] Error when weaving to PDF (md2pdf or pandoc2pdf)

[biologicalbattery]

description

When using the weave() function, I get an file not found error if the doctype is md2pdf or pandoc2pdf. My basic report.Jmd looks like

---
title: "Example"
author: Author
date: 29 Sep 2023
weave_options:
    doctype: md2pdf
---
# Example heading
some text

and my compilation script looks like

using Weave

report = "./report.Jmd"

weave(report)

The error I get is

ERROR: IOError: could not spawn `xelatex -shell-escape -halt-on-error report.tex`: no such file or directory (ENOENT)

It appears that the weave function places all the compiled .tex into a temp folder within the current directory and then the xelatex is only called with the file name and the command is not run from the temp folder so the tex compilation fails. I know that my xelatex is working, because when I used the Julia Weave: Save to File command found within the Julia for VS Code extension, that command somehow knows what to do and the rendering completes without issue.

I should note, that all of the files report.Jmd and compile.jl are located within the same directory which is my project diretory.

Not sure if I have messed up the compilation script, and because the VS Code extension is able to complete successfully this isn't a major issue, however, I am confused as to why the raw command is not working as expected. I have also tried calling the weave function with the out_path argument set to all variations (:pwd, :doc, and custom dir) all without success. So not sure where the issue lies.
