System Information
Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04
Graphics card: AMD Radeon Pro 5300M 4 GB

Blender Version
Broken: 2.93
Worked: 2.83

Short description of error
I work with python scripts using blender as a module installed locally. There is an issue with the context using the transform rotate or rotate_normal operators (bpy.ops.transform.rotate) of a selected mesh. This was working well on blender 2.83 but does not work on the latest 2.93 beta, (I also test it on 3.00 alpha, and either worked). If you test the translate operator (bpy.ops.transform.translate) in the same conditions, it works but no with the rotate operator.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Just open in a new python shell:

>>> import bpy
>>> bpy.app.version_string

'2.93.0 Beta'
>>> bpy.ops.transform.translate()

{'FINISHED'}
>>> bpy.ops.transform.rotate()

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/2.93/scripts/modules/bpy/ops.py", line 132, in __call__
    ret = _op_call(self.idname_py(), None, kw)
RuntimeError: Operator bpy.ops.transform.rotate.poll() failed, context is incorrect
>>> bpy.ops.transform.translate.poll()

True
>>> bpy.ops.transform.rotate.poll()

False

This is a bare explanation, that shows the error, But Also I tested it by selecting mesh, changing context, modes, and always i got the same error when using bpy.ops.transform.rotate via script in a terminal or python shell. But I think also happen when blender is launched in background mode as can be seen in this StackOverflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67659621/how-to-use-the-rotate-operator-on-blender-python-if-you-execute-the-script-on-th

Seems like the default working context (Layout) does not accept some operators. I was able to override the context using VIEW_3D screen, I guess that this was made intentionally, So I need to modify my all code to use an overriding context.

HI @osk386 , thanks for the report. I can not reproduce this on 2.93LTS (2021-06-02) and current master with default startup.

Can you please check again with newest versions?: https://builder.blender.org/download/daily
