usage with future_map, not finding attached packages

[datapumpernickel]

Hi,

thanks for this great package, it has been very useful to me in many instances! I am not sure if I found a bug or just a limitation of the package. I want to use the package together with future_map and once a function is memoised, the attached packages are somehow not found by the function anymore.

See the attached minimal reproducible example:

library(future)
library(furrr)
library(xml2)
library(memoise)
library(dplyr)

test_function <- function(url){
  return(read_xml(url))
}

future::plan("multisession", workers = 2)
test_data <- tibble(id = 1:10, url ="https://data.europarl.europa.eu/org/5704")

## future_map finds the package, although the external pointer is invalid because of some xml error with future_map
future_map(test_data$url, test_function)

## now lets memoise the function
test_function <- memoise::memoise(test_function)

## future_map does not find the attached xml2 package anymore
future_map(test_data$url, test_function)

## map finds it
map(test_data$url, test_function)

Hope this is the right place for this!
