consult-buffer fails with message "Symbol’s function definition is void: directory-abbrev-apply"

[alienman5k]

Whenever I run consult-buffer I got the above error message.

I am running GNU Emacs 28.2 (build 1, x86_64-apple-darwin22.3.0, NS appkit-2299.40 Version 13.2 (Build 22D49))

Sounds like you need to update the compat library. Let me guess: you use the straight package manager?

[minad]

Yes, please make sure that all relevant packages are updated. See also https://github.com/minad/consult#bug-reports.

Thanks a lot after installing compat and updating all the packages (Yes I am using straight) the issue is fixed. I was not aware compat was required.

[oantolin]

I think straight is supposed to install and update the packages dependencies for you, but it seems to be failing recently, specifically with the compat library.

@minad I'm running into this issue, also on Mac, Emacs 28.2, and using straight. However, when I run pkg-info-package-version it shows compat is at 29.1.4.4 which looks like the latest version.

Anything else that could be causing this?
