[ThierryO]

A strange observation: Using renv::install("fmesher") outside the renv project does work. And after that renv::install("fmesher") inside the packages works again. I had to apply that trick to several packages in order to install them in a renv project.

[kevinushey]

That's very odd. Does it matter where the project is located? (For example, does this also occur if your renv project is placed outside of your Google Drive?)
