Primary Navigation not showing on custom template for custom taxonomy

In my header I have this for my primary nav:

        if (has_nav_menu('primary_navigation')):
          wp_nav_menu([
            'theme_location' => 'primary_navigation',
            'menu_class' => 'navbar-nav justify-content-end pull-right navigation__list navigation__list__header navbar__navigation__list__header',
            'menu_id' => 'header-menu'
          ]);
        endif;

This show fine just about everywhere, however on a custom template I have for displaying some custom post types by taxonomy, the navigation doesn’t show up, the closest thing I have found is in wp-includes/nav-menu-template.php when this is called on this template the $menu-items on line 123 is empty. Any other time it is not. It is passing the same term_id at all times. What am I missing regarding this? Or is there somewhere else I should be looking at? The call to the header is coming from base.php so I’m pulling from the same place at all times.

This isn’t returning any menu items not just primary navigation. I added these output lines in nav-menu-template.php

	if ( $menu && ! is_wp_error($menu) && !isset($menu_items) )
{
    write_log($menu);
    $menu_items = wp_get_nav_menu_items( $menu->term_id, array( 'update_post_term_cache' => false ) );
    write_log($menu_items);
}

This is the output of that from my when on my page taxonomy-location-types.php

So it knows the menus exist but doesn’t return any of the items?

This doesn’t make sense and should not happen on a default Sage install. Look at whatever code and plugins you’ve introduced and start removing things?

Yeah, I don’t think it’s necessarily a Sage issue but as you said this doesn’t make sense and I’m just checking to make sure I’m not missing something with Sage. I’ve turned off all plugins that I can(using ACF and that starts breaking the code. going to comment that code to turn it off). Commented just about every extraneous query I can think of. Still , no change.

OK, got it, as suspected it isn’t any issue with Sage but had to do with my pre_get_posts hook.
Also, query monitor is your best friend in debugging.
