Weird inconsistency between (call-interactively 'straight-use-package), (straight-use-package 'session) and (straight-get-recipe 'session)

[hrehfeld]

What am I missing here? Why am I in this weird state?

(call-interactively 'straight-use-package): no package session in the list, can't proceed from prompt

(straight-use-package 'session): is trying to clone from "emacsorphanage/session"

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Failed to run \"git\"; see buffer *straight-process*")

  straight-use-package(session)

(straight-get-recipe '(session)): same error as above?

  straight-use-package(session nil nil "Listing session recipes")
  straight-recipes(list session "Listing session recipes")
  straight-recipes-list((session))
  straight-get-recipe((session))

(call-interactively 'straight-get-recipe): has session, copies repo url "emacsattic/session":
(session :type git :flavor melpa :host github :repo "emacsattic/session")

(call-interactively 'straight-use-package) shows session in the list for me, and shows the same number of candidates as running M-x straight-use-package (8,983 with my current recipe repositories).

M-x straight-get-recipe and selecting session returns (session :type git :flavor melpa :host github :repo "emacsattic/session") for me.

(straight-get-recipe '(session)) is broken, because the argument to straight-get-recipe is a list of recipe repositories, not a package name to look up. The docstring elaborates on usage. For debugging if you are looking to convert a package name to a full recipe, you want straight--convert-recipe.

(straight-use-package 'session) clones from emacsattic for me, same as straight-get-recipe. Here's *straight-log*:

And here's the *straight-process* output:

This all seems to be working as expected for me.
