Línea de trabajo

Start by reproducing plan(multisession, workers = 20) on Windows with the attached working and non-working renv.lock files. Compare the future, parallelly, R, and renv versions shown in the session information and inspect the worker connection failure. Done means the regression is explained and multisession connects successfully in the affected environment.

bug

Describe the bug

I have this problem across multiple machines and multiple projects.

I am using renv to handle the package environment. When updating to the newest package versions with renv::update() the multisession plan fails.

> plan(multisession, workers = 20)
Error:
! Cluster setup failed (connectTimeout=125.0 seconds). 19 of 20 workers failed to connect.

When rolling back to the previous snapshot with renv::restore() the same line of code starts working again.

Reproduce example

For reproducibility I attached the working and non-working renv.lock files as txt-files

renv.lock_not-working.txt
renv.lock_working.txt

Expected behavior

plan(multisession, workers = 20) should execute without error.
