evaluate.load loads indefinitely offline

[Virgile Richard]

The following script loads indefinitely:

import os
os.environ["HF_EVALUATE_OFFLINE"] = "1"

from evaluate import load

metric = load('./glue/', 'qqp')

A KeyboardInterrupt yields the following:

Did you find a fix for this? I am having the same error.
