Could not find package chatgpt-shell

[madorian]

I found some other with the same issue, but that was closed.

Trying to install chatgpt-shell on emacs-30.0.50, I get this:

I’ll need more details. Please share the any snippet you’re using to install.

Looks like you’re trying to install via straight? If so, try:

(use-package shell-maker
  :straight (:host github :repo "xenodium/chatgpt-shell" :files ("shell-maker.el")))

(use-package chatgpt-shell
  :requires shell-maker
  :straight (:host github :repo "xenodium/chatgpt-shell" :files ("chatgpt-shell.el")))

I only copied the code from the webpage:

(use-package chatgpt-shell
  :ensure t
  :custom
  ((chatgpt-shell-openai-key
    (lambda ()
      (auth-source-pass-get 'secret "openai-key")))))

Are you using straight? Doom Emacs? Did the split snippet from my previous comment work for you?

[madorian]

I do have straight, but straight builds the package from git, right? I'd rather use use-package to get a normal release. I'm on emacs-30.0.50.

[xenodium]

I'm unfortunately not familiar with straight (nor the rest of the init/configuration used here). The stack trace suggests it is involved somehow.

If use-package is already working for ya to fetch other MELPA packages, then it looks like it hasn't caught up with more recent MELPA changes that include chatgpt-shell. Use something like package-refresh-contents and try again.

I have the same issue on emacs 28.2. I'm using straight to load the package. It looks to me that something is wrong when a dependent file, in this case shell-maker is required from chatgpt-shell. I don't know why this doesn't work. The straight docs explicitly say that the package directory is added to the load-path https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el#git-backend

@ingorichter habe you tried this? #83 (comment)

(use-package shell-maker
  :straight (:host github :repo "xenodium/chatgpt-shell" :files ("shell-maker.el")))

(use-package chatgpt-shell
  :requires shell-maker
  :straight (:host github :repo "xenodium/chatgpt-shell" :files ("chatgpt-shell.el")))

[ingorichter]

yes, I added 'shell-maker' as an explicit dependency and it resolved the problem for me too. I should have phrased my comment slightly different, since it sounds like I didn't get it working at all. I wanted to point out that there is something wrong with straight in this situation.

[xenodium]

Thanks for confirming. e3295f9 documents in README.

For some reason, I find this issue. Today on my local just

(use-package chatgpt-shell
  :straight (:host github :repo "xenodium/chatgpt-shell" :files ("chatgpt-shell.el")))

can work. No need use-package shell-maker anymore.
