None of the package functions show up when I install this package (either from VC or MELPA) under DOOM Emacs

What the title says. If I do M-x package-install treesit-auto, it says it was successfully installed, but I get nothing. No treesit-auto-install-all, no global-treesit-auto-mode, nothing at all.

Here's my emacs information according to doom info:

But, notably, manually downloading, adding to my load path, and requiring the package works.

It isn't clear from your description whether you're using one of the recommended configurations. You're not seeing global-treesit-auto-mode even after using one of use-package or require?

I tried Doom Emacs's custom package management solution that replaces both of those, and then package-install, naively assuming on no evidence that Doom's package management solution and package-install just did a use-package or a require under the hood. But apparently they don't, since once I did a use-package or require it worked just fine, as mentioned above lol. So this appears to be a doom-specific thing. I resolved the problem by ceasing to use doom and writing my own vanilla emacs config from scratch lol, at which point treesit-auto proceeded to work like a dream come true!

@alexispurslane i think it's using straight, i've remeber reading about it in the README, i'm going to investigate it more and see on their docs

Edit 1: use a macro layer gived by the straight.el README's and see if it works https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el?tab=readme-ov-file#integration-with-use-package

(straight-use-package 'use-package)

Edit 2: i've hadn't success using this layer

since i want to keep using doom, i hovered to emacs-tree-sitter official docs

https://emacs-tree-sitter.github.io/syntax-highlighting/

config.el

(add-hook 'javascript-mode-hook #'tree-sitter-hl-mode)
(add-hook 'nix-mode-hook #'tree-sitter-hl-mode)
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook #'tree-sitter-hl-mode)
(global-tree-sitter-mode)
(add-hook 'tree-sitter-after-on-hook #'tree-sitter-hl-mode)

manually adding hooks for languages that i want tree-sitter-hl to be used, "similar" to vim's autocmds and augroups
