This is a bug in wdman, which hasn't been updated in a long time. 
There's a PR for a fix to it and I'd forgotten I installed that sometime 
last year.  When I installed the fixed version in 4.5.0 everything was fine.

To install the fork, use

     remotes::install_github("ashbythorpe/wdman using chromefix")
