.onLoad failed when loading packages: how to troubleshoot?

First, apologies for the pictures. I have no clue on how to make this a reproducible example.

Last night a job was interrupted by a loss of internet connection.

Issue

Since then for some reason packages won't load normally using library.

  1. In some R sessions packages load normally, code execution runs fine.

  2. When I open another instance, it will throw a bunch errors that differ each time library is called
    crash

  3. Other times it prints *** recursive gc invocation before failing, often terminating the R session.

  4. However, sometimes the 2nd library call runs just fine... :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
    what

What I've done so far:

  • Reinstall the package devtools

  • Update R to 4.1.1, clean install of all packages

  • Deleted any .RData files I could find

  • Disable virus protection - issue persists

  • Run commands in R without RStudio IDE - working normally

  • Read diagnostics

Question

Any tips on how to proceed troubleshooting this issue?

about 100 library(tidyverse)'s later it seems the following has solved the issue:

  1. Tools > Global Options > untick "Restore most recently opened project at startup" and "Restore previously open source documents at startup". Click Apply

  2. Clear projects list (file menu > clear projects list)
