In #667 we changed the Connect content cache over to use environments (instead of files on disk). This means that:

• caches will not persist between sessions
• caches will only get into a broken state like this if a big change is made with the server while a user is working with pins from R
• caches can be fixed by restarting R
• the first time functions are called they will be slow, but subsequent calls will have the same benefits of caching as we had originally

Thanks again for the report! 🙌 For now, the user will need to install from GitHub to have these improvements but we will do a release soon.
