I solved this issue in my case by passing the `--project` flag to `addprocs`. This will load the project files for the current directory.

Start Julia using `julia --project`.

```julia
using Distributed
addprocs(2; exeflags="--project")

```

You can also pass the path to the desired environment using `--project=/path/to/env`. As long as the path in `addprocs` matches the one used to start Julia it should work fine.
