# Description
This PR uses the new plugin protocol to intelligently keep plugin
processes running in the background for further plugin calls.
Running plugins can be seen by running the new `plugin list` command,
and stopped by running the new `plugin stop` command.
This is an enhancement for the performance of plugins, as starting new
plugin processes has overhead, especially for plugins in languages that
take a significant amount of time on startup. It also enables plugins
that have persistent state between commands, making the migration of
features like dataframes and `stor` to plugins possible.
Plugins are automatically stopped by the new plugin garbage collector,
configurable with `$env.config.plugin_gc`:
```nushell
$env.config.plugin_gc = {
# Configuration for plugin garbage collection
default: {
enabled: true # true to enable stopping of inactive plugins
stop_after: 10sec # how long to wait after a plugin is inactive to stop it
}
plugins: {
# alternate configuration for specific plugins, by name, for example:
#
# gstat: {
# enabled: false
# }
}
}
```
If garbage collection is enabled, plugins will be stopped after
`stop_after` passes after they were last active. Plugins are counted as
inactive if they have no running plugin calls. Reading the stream from
the response of a plugin call is still considered to be activity, but if
a plugin holds on to a stream but the call ends without an active
streaming response, it is not counted as active even if it is reading
it. Plugins can explicitly disable the GC as appropriate with
`engine.set_gc_disabled(true)`.
The `version` command now lists plugin names rather than plugin
commands. The list of plugin commands is accessible via `plugin list`.
Recommend doing this together with #12029, because it will likely force
plugin developers to do the right thing with mutability and lead to less
unexpected behavior when running plugins nested / in parallel.
# User-Facing Changes
- new command: `plugin list`
- new command: `plugin stop`
- changed command: `version` (now lists plugin names, rather than
commands)
- new config: `$env.config.plugin_gc`
- Plugins will keep running and be reused, at least for the configured
GC period
- Plugins that used mutable state in weird ways like `inc` did might
misbehave until fixed
- Plugins can disable GC if they need to
- Had to change plugin signature to accept `&EngineInterface` so that
the GC disable feature works. #12029 does this anyway, and I'm expecting
(resolvable) conflicts with that
# Tests + Formatting
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`
Because there is some specific OS behavior required for plugins to not
respond to Ctrl-C directly, I've developed against and tested on both
Linux and Windows to ensure that works properly.
# After Submitting
I think this probably needs to be in the book somewhere
# Description
This allows plugins to make calls back to the engine to get config,
evaluate closures, and do other things that must be done within the
engine process.
Engine calls can both produce and consume streams as necessary. Closures
passed to plugins can both accept stream input and produce stream output
sent back to the plugin.
Engine calls referring to a plugin call's context can be processed as
long either the response hasn't been received, or the response created
streams that haven't ended yet.
This is a breaking API change for plugins. There are some pretty major
changes to the interface that plugins must implement, including:
1. Plugins now run with `&self` and must be `Sync`. Executing multiple
plugin calls in parallel is supported, and there's a chance that a
closure passed to a plugin could invoke the same plugin. Supporting
state across plugin invocations is left up to the plugin author to do in
whichever way they feel best, but the plugin object itself is still
shared. Even though the engine doesn't run multiple plugin calls through
the same process yet, I still considered it important to break the API
in this way at this stage. We might want to consider an optional
threadpool feature for performance.
2. Plugins take a reference to `EngineInterface`, which can be cloned.
This interface allows plugins to make calls back to the engine,
including for getting config and running closures.
3. Plugins no longer take the `config` parameter. This can be accessed
from the interface via the `.get_plugin_config()` engine call.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
Not only does this have plugin protocol changes, it will require plugins
to make some code changes before they will work again. But on the plus
side, the engine call feature is extensible, and we can add more things
to it as needed.
Plugin maintainers will have to change the trait signature at the very
least. If they were using `config`, they will have to call
`engine.get_plugin_config()` instead.
If they were using the mutable reference to the plugin, they will have
to come up with some strategy to work around it (for example, for `Inc`
I just cloned it). This shouldn't be such a big deal at the moment as
it's not like plugins have ever run as daemons with persistent state in
the past, and they don't in this PR either. But I thought it was
important to make the change before we support plugins as daemons, as an
exclusive mutable reference is not compatible with parallel plugin
calls.
I suggest this gets merged sometime *after* the current pending release,
so that we have some time to adjust to the previous plugin protocol
changes that don't require code changes before making ones that do.
# Tests + Formatting

# After Submitting
I will document the additional protocol features (`EngineCall`,
`EngineCallResponse`), and constraints on plugin call processing if
engine calls are used - basically, to be aware that an engine call could
result in a nested plugin call, so the plugin should be able to handle
that.

This PR adds a new evaluator path with callbacks to a mutable trait
object implementing a Debugger trait. The trait object can do anything,
e.g., profiling, code coverage, step debugging. Currently,
entering/leaving a block and a pipeline element is marked with
callbacks, but more callbacks can be added as necessary. Not all
callbacks need to be used by all debuggers; unused ones are simply empty
calls. A simple profiler is implemented as a proof of concept.
The debugging support is implementing by making `eval_xxx()` functions
generic depending on whether we're debugging or not. This has zero
computational overhead, but makes the binary slightly larger (see
benchmarks below). `eval_xxx()` variants called from commands (like
`eval_block_with_early_return()` in `each`) are chosen with a dynamic
dispatch for two reasons: to not grow the binary size due to duplicating
the code of many commands, and for the fact that it isn't possible
because it would make Command trait objects object-unsafe.
In the future, I hope it will be possible to allow plugin callbacks such
that users would be able to implement their profiler plugins instead of
having to recompile Nushell.
[DAP](https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/) would also be
interesting to explore.
Try `help debug profile`.
## Screenshots
Basic output:
To profile with more granularity, increase the profiler depth (you'll
see that repeated `is-windows` calls take a large chunk of total time,
making it a good candidate for optimizing):
## Benchmarks
### Binary size
Binary size increase vs. main: **+40360 bytes**. _(Both built with
`--release --features=extra,dataframe`.)_
### Time
```nushell
# bench_debug.nu
use std bench
let test = {
1..100
| each {
ls | each {|row| $row.name | str length }
}
| flatten
| math avg
}
print 'debug:'
let res2 = bench { debug profile $test } --pretty
print $res2
```
```nushell
# bench_nodebug.nu
use std bench
let test = {
1..100
| each {
ls | each {|row| $row.name | str length }
}
| flatten
| math avg
}
print 'no debug:'
let res1 = bench { do $test } --pretty
print $res1
```
`cargo run --release -- bench_debug.nu` is consistently 1--2 ms slower
than `cargo run --release -- bench_nodebug.nu` due to the collection
overhead + gathering the report. This is expected. When gathering more
stuff, the overhead is obviously higher.
`cargo run --release -- bench_nodebug.nu` vs. `nu bench_nodebug.nu` I
didn't measure any difference. Both benchmarks report times between 97
and 103 ms randomly, without one being consistently higher than the
other. This suggests that at least in this particular case, when not
running any debugger, there is no runtime overhead.
## API changes
This PR adds a generic parameter to all `eval_xxx` functions that forces
you to specify whether you use the debugger. You can resolve it in two
ways:
* Use a provided helper that will figure it out for you. If you wanted
to use `eval_block(&engine_state, ...)`, call `let eval_block =
get_eval_block(&engine_state); eval_block(&engine_state, ...)`
* If you know you're in an evaluation path that doesn't need debugger
support, call `eval_block::<WithoutDebug>(&engine_state, ...)` (this is
the case of hooks, for example).
I tried to add more explanation in the docstring of `debugger_trait.rs`.
## TODO
- [x] Better profiler output to reduce spam of iterative commands like
`each`
- [x] Resolve `TODO: DEBUG` comments
- [x] Resolve unwraps
- [x] Add doc comments
- [x] Add usage and extra usage for `debug profile`, explaining all
columns

# Description
Previously, the plugin itself would also print error messages about
mismatched versions, and there could be many of them while parsing a
`register` command which would be hard to follow. This removes that
behavior so that the error message is easier to read, and also makes the
error message on the engine side mention the plugin name so that it's
easier to tell which plugin needs to be updated.
The python plugin has also been modified to make testing this behavior
easier. Just change `NUSHELL_VERSION` in the script file to something
incompatible.

Replace panics with errors in thread spawning.
Also adds `IntoSpanned` trait for easily constructing `Spanned`, and an
implementation of `From<Spanned<std::io::Error>>` for `ShellError`,
which is used to provide context for the error wherever there was a span
conveniently available. In general this should make it more convenient
to do the right thing with `std::io::Error` and always add a span to it
when it's possible to do so.

# Description
This patches `StreamReader`'s iterator implementation to not return any
values after an I/O error has been encountered.
Without this, it's possible for a protocol error to cause the channel to
disconnect, in which case every call to `recv()` returns an error, which
causes the iterator to produce error values infinitely. There are some
commands that don't immediately stop after receiving an error so it's
possible that they just get stuck in an infinite error. This fixes that
so the error is only produced once, and then the stream ends
artificially.
# Description
This fixes a race condition where all interfaces to a plugin might have
been dropped, but both sides are still expecting input, and the
`PluginInterfaceManager` doesn't get a chance to see that the interfaces
have been dropped and stop trying to consume input.
As the manager needs to hold on to a writer, we can't automatically
close the stream, but we also can't interrupt it if it's in a waiting to
read. So the best solution is to send a message to the plugin that we
are no longer going to be sending it any plugin calls, so that it knows
that it can exit when it's done.
This race condition is a little bit tricky to trigger as-is, but can be
more noticeable when running plugins in a tight loop. If too many plugin
processes are spawned at one time, Nushell can start to encounter "too
many open files" errors, and not be very useful.

# Description
#11492 fixed flags for builtin commands but I missed that plugins don't
use the same `has_flag` that builtins do. This PR addresses this.
Unfortunately this means that return value of `has_flag` needs to change
from `bool` to `Result<bool, ShellError>` to produce an error when
explicit value is not a boolean (just like in case of `has_flag` for
builtin commands. It is not possible to check this in
`EvaluatedCall::try_from_call` because
# User-Facing Changes
Passing explicit values to flags of plugin commands (like `--flag=true`
`--flag=false`) should work now.
BREAKING: changed return value of `EvaluatedCall::has_flag` method from
`bool` to `Result<bool, ShellError>`
# Tests + Formatting
Added tests and updated documentation and examples
# Description
When nushell calls a plugin it now sends a configuration `Value` from
the nushell config under `$env.config.plugins.PLUGIN_SHORT_NAME`. This
allows plugin authors to read configuration provided by plugin users.
The `PLUGIN_SHORT_NAME` must match the registered filename after
`nu_plugin_`. If you register `target/debug/nu_plugin_config` the
`PLUGIN_NAME` will be `config` and the nushell config will loook like:
$env.config = {
# ...
plugins: {
config: [
some
values
]
}
}
Configuration may also use a closure which allows passing values from
`$env` to a plugin:
$env.config = {
# ...
plugins: {
config: {||
$env.some_value
}
}
}
This is a breaking change for the plugin API as the `Plugin::run()`
function now accepts a new configuration argument which is an
`&Option<Value>`. If no configuration was supplied the value is `None`.
Plugins compiled after this change should work with older nushell, and
will behave as if the configuration was not set.
Initially discussed in #10867
# User-Facing Changes
* Plugins can read configuration data stored in `$env.config.plugins`
* The plugin `CallInfo` now includes a `config` entry, existing plugins
will require updates

This PR will allow spreading arguments to commands (both internal and
external). It will also deprecate spreading arguments automatically when
passing to external commands.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
- Users will be able to use `...` to spread arguments to custom/builtin
commands that have rest parameters or allow unknown arguments, or to any
external command
- If a custom command doesn't have a rest parameter and it doesn't allow
unknown arguments either, the spread operator will not be allowed
- Passing lists to external commands without `...` will work for now but
will cause a deprecation warning saying that it'll stop working in 0.91
(is 2 versions enough time?)
Here's a function to help with demonstrating some behavior:
```nushell
> def foo [ a, b, c?, d?, ...rest ] { [$a $b $c $d $rest] | to nuon }
```
You can pass a list of arguments to fill in the `rest` parameter using
`...`:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 4 ...[5 6]
[1, 2, 3, 4, [5, 6]]
```
If you don't use `...`, the list `[5 6]` will be treated as a single
argument:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 4 [5 6] # Note the double [[]]
[1, 2, 3, 4, [[5, 6]]]
```
You can omit optional parameters before the spread arguments:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 ...[4 5] # d is omitted here
[1, 2, 3, null, [4, 5]]
```
If you have multiple lists, you can spread them all:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 ...[4 5] 6 7 ...[8] ...[]
[1, 2, 3, null, [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]]
```
Here's the kind of error you get when you try to spread arguments to a
command with no rest parameter:
And this is the warning you get when you pass a list to an external now
(without `...`):

Added tests to cover the following cases:
- Spreading arguments to a command that doesn't have a rest parameter
(unexpected spread argument error)
- Spreading arguments to a command that doesn't have a rest parameter
*but* there's also a missing positional argument (missing positional
error)
- Spreading arguments to a command that doesn't have a rest parameter
but does allow unknown arguments, such as `exec` (allowed)
- Spreading a list literal containing arguments of the wrong type (parse
error)
- Spreading a non-list value, both to internal and external commands
- Having named arguments in the middle of rest arguments
- `explain`ing a command call that spreads its arguments

# Examples
Suppose you have multiple tables:
```nushell
let people = [[id name age]; [0 alice 100] [1 bob 200] [2 eve 300]]
let evil_twins = [[id name age]; [0 ecila 100] [-1 bob 200] [-2 eve 300]]
```
Maybe you often find yourself needing to merge multiple tables and want
a utility to do that. You could write a function like this:
```nushell
def merge_all [ ...tables ] { $tables | reduce { |it, acc| $acc | merge $it } }
```
Then you can use it like this:
```nushell
> merge_all ...([$people $evil_twins] | each { |$it| $it | select name age })
╭───┬───────┬─────╮
│ # │ name │ age │
├───┼───────┼─────┤
│ 0 │ ecila │ 100 │
│ 1 │ bob │ 200 │
│ 2 │ eve │ 300 │
╰───┴───────┴─────╯
```
Except they had duplicate columns, so now you first want to suffix every
column with a number to tell you which table the column came from. You
can make a command for that:
```nushell
def select_and_merge [ --cols: list<string>, ...tables ] {
let renamed_tables = $tables
| enumerate
| each { |it|
$it.item | select $cols | rename ...($cols | each { |col| $col + ($it.index | into string) })
};
merge_all ...$renamed_tables
}
```
And call it like this:
```nushell
> select_and_merge --cols [name age] $people $evil_twins
╭───┬───────┬──────┬───────┬──────╮
│ # │ name0 │ age0 │ name1 │ age1 │
├───┼───────┼──────┼───────┼──────┤
│ 0 │ alice │ 100 │ ecila │ 100 │
│ 1 │ bob │ 200 │ bob │ 200 │
│ 2 │ eve │ 300 │ eve │ 300 │
╰───┴───────┴──────┴───────┴──────╯
```
---
Suppose someone's made a command to search for APT packages:
```nushell
# The main command
def search-pkgs [
--install # Whether to install any packages it finds
log_level: int # Pretend it's a good idea to make this a required positional parameter
exclude?: list<string> # Packages to exclude
repositories?: list<string> # Which repositories to look in (searches in all if not given)
...pkgs # Package names to search for
] {
{ install: $install, log_level: $log_level, exclude: ($exclude | to nuon), repositories: ($repositories | to nuon), pkgs: ($pkgs | to nuon) }
}
```
It has a lot of parameters to configure it, so you might make your own
helper commands to wrap around it for specific cases. Here's one
example:
```nushell
# Only look for packages locally
def search-pkgs-local [
--install # Whether to install any packages it finds
log_level: int
exclude?: list<string> # Packages to exclude
...pkgs # Package names to search for
] {
# All required and optional positional parameters are given
search-pkgs --install=$install $log_level [] ["<local URI or something>"] ...$pkgs
}
```
And you can run it like this:
```nushell
> search-pkgs-local --install=false 5 ...["python2.7" "vim"]
╭──────────────┬──────────────────────────────╮
│ install │ false │
│ log_level │ 5 │
│ exclude │ [] │
│ repositories │ ["<local URI or something>"] │
│ pkgs │ ["python2.7", vim] │
╰──────────────┴──────────────────────────────╯
```
One thing I realized when writing this was that if we decide to not
allow passing optional arguments using the spread operator, then you can
(mis?)use the spread operator to skip optional parameters. Here, I
didn't want to give `exclude` explicitly, so I used a spread operator to
pass the packages to install. Without it, I would've needed to do
`search-pkgs-local --install=false 5 [] "python2.7" "vim"` (explicitly
pass `[]` (or `null`, in the general case) to `exclude`). There are
probably more idiomatic ways to do this, but I just thought it was
something interesting.
If you're a virologist of the [xkcd](https://xkcd.com/350/) kind,
another helper command you might make is this:
```nushell
# Install any packages it finds
def live-dangerously [ ...pkgs ] {
# One optional argument was given (exclude), while another was not (repositories)
search-pkgs 0 [] ...$pkgs --install # Flags can go after spread arguments
}
```
Running it:
```nushell
> live-dangerously "git" "*vi*" # *vi* because I don't feel like typing out vim and neovim
╭──────────────┬─────────────╮
│ install │ true │
│ log_level │ 0 │
│ exclude │ [] │
│ repositories │ null │
│ pkgs │ [git, *vi*] │
╰──────────────┴─────────────╯
```
Here's an example that uses the spread operator more than once within
the same command call:
```nushell
let extras = [ chrome firefox python java git ]
def search-pkgs-curated [ ...pkgs ] {
(search-pkgs
1
[emacs]
["example.com", "foo.com"]
vim # A must for everyone!
...($pkgs | filter { |p| not ($p | str contains "*") }) # Remove packages with globs
python # Good tool to have
...$extras
--install=false
python3) # I forget, did I already put Python in extras?
}
```
Running it:
```nushell
> search-pkgs-curated "git" "*vi*"
╭──────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ install │ false │
│ log_level │ 1 │
│ exclude │ [emacs] │
│ repositories │ [example.com, foo.com] │
│ pkgs │ [vim, git, python, chrome, firefox, python, java, git, "python3"] │
╰──────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
```

Replace `.to_string()` used in `GenericError` with `.into()` as
`.into()` seems more popular
Replace `Vec::new()` used in `GenericError` with `vec![]` as `vec![]`
seems more popular
(There are so, so many)
# Description
The `PluginSignature` type supports extra usage but this was not
available in `plugin_name --help`. It also supports search terms but
these did not appear in `help commands`
New behavior show below is the "Extra usage for nu-example-1" line and
the "Search terms:" line
```
❯ nu-example-1 --help
PluginSignature test 1 for plugin. Returns Value::Nothing
Extra usage for nu-example-1
Search terms: example
Usage:
> nu-example-1 {flags} <a> <b> (opt) ...(rest)
Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
-f, --flag - a flag for the signature
-n, --named <String> - named string
Parameters:
a <int>: required integer value
b <string>: required string value
opt <int>: Optional number (optional)
...rest <string>: rest value string
Examples:
running example with an int value and string value
> nu-example-1 3 bb
```
Search terms are also available in `help commands`:
```
❯ help commands | where name == "nu-example-1" | select name search_terms
╭──────────────┬──────────────╮
│ name │ search_terms │
├──────────────┼──────────────┤
│ nu-example-1 │ example │

# Description
Changes `FromValue` to take owned `Value`s instead of borrowed `Value`s.
This eliminates some unnecessary clones (e.g., in `call_ext.rs`).
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking API change for `nu_protocol`.
# Description
The issue #10318 is resolved by introducing helper methods within the
existing `get_documentation` function in the nu-engine crate. Initially,
I considered using nu-color-config crate to convert HEX config color to
ANSI color and employing the following method
[https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-color-config/src/color_config.rs#L9C1-L20C2](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-color-config/src/color_config.rs#L9C1-L20C2).
However, this approach was deemed impractical due to circular
dependencies. Consequently, in a manner akin to how we invoke the
`table` command from the nu-command crate in `get_documentation`
function to create a themed-colored table, we invoke the `ansi` command
from nu-command to obtain the ANSI theme color code.
# User-Facing Changes
Visual Changes Only: the help command now uses configured theme, else it
falls back on default hard coded values.

Elide the reference for `Copy` type (`usize`)
Use the canonical deref where possible.

Skips the ctrl-C handler for now.
# Description
As part of the refactor to split spans off of Value, this moves to using
helper functions to create values, and using `.span()` instead of
matching span out of Value directly.
Hoping to get a few more helping hands to finish this, as there are a
lot of commands to update :)

# Description
This PR does a few things to help improve type hovers and, in the
process, fixes a few outstanding issues in the type system. Here's a
list of the changes:
* `for` now will try to infer the type of the iteration variable based
on the expression it's given. This fixes things like `for x in [1, 2, 3]
{ }` where `x` now properly gets the int type.
* Removed old input/output type fields from the signature, focuses on
the vec of signatures. Updated a bunch of dataframe commands that hadn't
moved over. This helps tie things together a bit better
* Fixed inference of types from subexpressions to use the last
expression in the block
* Fixed handling of explicit types in `let` and `mut` calls, so we now
respect that as the authoritative type
I also tried to add `def` input/output type inference, but unfortunately
we only know the predecl types universally, which means we won't have
enough information to properly know what the types of the custom
commands are.
# User-Facing Changes
Script typechecking will get tighter in some cases
Hovers should be more accurate in some cases that previously resorted to
any.

This PR reverts https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9391
We try not to revert PRs like this, though after discussion with the
Nushell team, we decided to revert this one.
The main reason is that Nushell, as a codebase, isn't ready for these
kinds of optimisations. It's in the part of the development cycle where
our main focus should be on improving the algorithms inside of Nushell
itself. Once we have matured our algorithms, then we can look for
opportunities to switch out technologies we're using for alternate
forms.
Much of Nushell still has lots of opportunities for tuning the codebase,
paying down technical debt, and making the codebase generally cleaner
and more robust. This should be the focus. Performance improvements
should flow out of that work.
Said another, optimisation that isn't part of tuning the codebase is
premature at this stage. We need to focus on doing the hard work of
making the engine, parser, etc better.

Show parameter defaults in scope command signature, where they're
available for display by help.
per https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8928.
I found unexpected ramifications in one completer (NuHelpCompleter) and
plugins, which both use the flag-formatting routine from builtin help.
For the moment I made the minimum necessary changes to get the mainline
scenario to pass tests and run. But we should circle back on what to do
with plugins and help completer..
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
1. New `parameter_default` column to `signatures` table in
`$nu.scope.commands`
It is populated with whatever parameters can be defaulted: currently
positional args and named flags.
2. Built in help (both `help <command>` and `<command> --help` will
display the defaults
3. Help completer will display defaults for flags, but not for
positionals.
Example:
A custom command with some default parameters:
```
〉cat ~/work/dflts.nu
# sample function to show defaults in help
export def main [
arg1: string # mandatory positional
arg2:string=abc # optional positional
--switch # no default here
--named:int # named flag, no default
--other:string=def # flag
--hard:record<foo:int bar:string, bas:bool> # default can be compound type
= {foo:22, bar:"other worlds", bas:false}
] { {arg1: $arg1,
arg2: $arg2,
switch: $switch,
named: $named,
other: $other,
hard: $hard, }
}
〉use ~/work/dflts.nu
〉$nu.scope.commands | where name == 'dflts' | get signatures.0.any | reject short_flag description custom_completion

〉help dflts
sample function to show defaults in help
Usage:
> dflts {flags} <arg1> (arg2)
Flags:
--switch - switch -- no default here
--named <Int> - named flag, typed, but no default
--other <String> - flag with default (default: 'def')

-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
Parameters:
arg1 <string>: mandatory positional
arg2 <string>: optional positional (optional, default: 'abc')
```
Compared to (relevant bits of) help output previously:
```
Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
-, --switch - no default here
-, --named <int> - named flag, no default
-, --other <string> - flag

Continuation of #8229 and #8326
# Description
The `ShellError` enum at the moment is kind of messy.
Many variants are basic tuple structs where you always have to reference
the implementation with its macro invocation to know which field serves
which purpose.
Furthermore we have both variants that are kind of redundant or either
overly broad to be useful for the user to match on or overly specific
with few uses.
So I set out to start fixing the lacking documentation and naming to
make it feasible to critically review the individual usages and fix
those.
Furthermore we can decide to join or split up variants that don't seem
to be fit for purpose.
# Call to action
**Everyone:** Feel free to add review comments if you spot inconsistent
use of `ShellError` variants.

# Description
As title, we can't provide examples for plugin commands, this pr would
make it possible
# User-Facing Changes
Take plugin `nu-example-1` as example:
```
❯ nu-example-1 -h
PluginSignature test 1 for plugin. Returns Value::Nothing
Usage:
> nu-example-1 {flags} <a> <b> (opt) ...(rest)
Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
-f, --flag - a flag for the signature
-n, --named <String> - named string
Parameters:
a <int>: required integer value
b <string>: required string value
(optional) opt <int>: Optional number
...rest <string>: rest value string
Examples:
running example with an int value and string value
> nu-example-1 3 bb
```
The examples session is newly added.
## Basic idea behind these changes
when nushell query plugin signatures, plugin just returns it's signature
without any examples, so nushell have no idea about the examples of
plugin commands.
To adding the feature, we just making plugin returns it's signature with
examples.
Before:
```
1. get signature
---------------->
Nushell ------------------ Plugin
<-----------------
2. returns Vec<Signature>
```
After:
```
1. get signature
---------------->
Nushell ------------------ Plugin
<-----------------
2. returns Vec<PluginSignature>
```
When writing plugin signature to $nu.plugin-path:
Serialize `<PluginSignature>` rather than `<Signature>`, which would
enable us to serialize examples to `$nu.plugin-path`
## Shortcoming
It's a breaking changes because `Plugin::signature` is changed, and it
requires plugin authors to change their code for new signatures.
Fortunally it should be easy to change, for rust based plugin, we just
need to make a global replace from word `Signature` to word
`PluginSignature` in their plugin project.
Our content of plugin-path is really large, if one plugin have many
examples, it'd results to larger body of $nu.plugin-path, which is not
really scale. A solution would be save register information in other
binary formats rather than `json`. But I think it'd be another story.

~~I happened to be reviewing our uses of `thread::spawn()` and came to
the conclusion that we're spawning a thread unnecessarily for plugin
calls. We were basically doing this:~~
~~1. Spawn a background thread to send data to the plugin over stdin~~
~~2. Immediately do a blocking wait for the plugin's response~~
~~As far as I can tell, there's no point in spawning a thread for 1 (and
it may harm error handling) given that we're blocking right away for the
response.~~
**Update:** the logic is correct, as confirmed by @WindSoilder
[here](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/855947301380947968/1072743414795350037).
I've added a comment explaining the thread usage.
# Description
Lint: `clippy::uninlined_format_args`
More readable in most situations.
(May be slightly confusing for modifier format strings
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/index.html#formatting-parameters)
Alternative to #7865
# User-Facing Changes
None intended
# Tests + Formatting
(Ran `cargo +stable clippy --fix --workspace -- -A clippy::all -D
clippy::uninlined_format_args` to achieve this. Depends on Rust `1.67`)
This is an attempt to implement a new `Value::LazyRecord` variant for
performance reasons.
`LazyRecord` is like a regular `Record`, but it's possible to access
individual columns without evaluating other columns. I've implemented
`LazyRecord` for the special `$nu` variable; accessing `$nu` is
relatively slow because of all the information in `scope`, and [`$nu`
accounts for about 2/3 of Nu's startup time on
Linux](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/6677#issuecomment-1364618122).
### Benchmarks
I ran some benchmarks on my desktop (Linux, 12900K) and the results are
very pleasing.
Nu's time to start up and run a command (`cargo build --release;
hyperfine 'target/release/nu -c "echo \"Hello, world!\""' --shell=none
--warmup 10`) goes from **8.8ms to 3.2ms, about 2.8x faster**.
Tests are also much faster! Running `cargo nextest` (with our very slow
`proptest` tests disabled) goes from **7.2s to 4.4s (1.6x faster)**,
because most tests involve launching a new instance of Nu.
### Design (updated)
I've added a new `LazyRecord` trait and added a `Value` variant wrapping
those trait objects, much like `CustomValue`. `LazyRecord`
implementations must implement these 2 functions:
```rust
// All column names
fn column_names(&self) -> Vec<&'static str>;
// Get 1 specific column value
fn get_column_value(&self, column: &str) -> Result<Value, ShellError>;
```
### Serializability
`Value` variants must implement `Serializable` and `Deserializable`, which poses some problems because I want to use unserializable things like `EngineState` in `LazyRecord`s. To work around this, I basically lie to the type system:
1. Add `#[typetag::serde(tag = "type")]` to `LazyRecord` to make it serializable
2. Any unserializable fields in `LazyRecord` implementations get marked with `#[serde(skip)]`
3. At the point where a `LazyRecord` normally would get serialized and sent to a plugin, I instead collect it into a regular `Value::Record` (which can be serialized)
I have changed `assert!(a == b)` calls to `assert_eq!(a, b)`, which give
better error messages. Similarly for `assert!(a != b)` and
`assert_ne!(a, b)`. Basically all instances were comparing primitives
(string slices or integers), so there is no loss of generality from
special-case macros,
I have also fixed a number of typos in comments, variable names, and a
few user-facing messages.
This PR sets up [Criterion](https://github.com/bheisler/criterion.rs)
for benchmarking in the main `nu` crate, and adds some simple parser
benchmarks.
To run the benchmarks, just do `cargo bench` or `cargo bench -- <regex
matching benchmark names>` in the repo root:
```bash
〉cargo bench -- parse
...
Running benches/parser_benchmark.rs (target/release/deps/parser_benchmark-75d224bac82d5b0b)

```
Existing benchmarks from `nu-plugin` have been moved into the main `nu`
crate to keep all our benchmarks in one place.

Also enforce this by #[non_exhaustive] span such that going forward we

The motivation for this stems from #6431 where I've seen crashes due to
invalid slice indexing.
My hope is this will mitigate such senarios

* removes unused features.
* Adds back multithreading feature to sysinfo.
* Adds back alloc for percent-encoding
* Adds updated lock file.
* Missed one sysinfo.

* Remove unused dependencies
Inspired by #6938 ran `cargo +nightly udeps --features extra`.
Removes 2 crates and should remove an unnecessary intra-workspace
dependency which might open up further opportunities for compilation.
* Make windows-only dependency conditional in toml
`omnipath` is only used on Windows and already behind a `#[cfg]` block
in the code. Made the dependency in `Cargo.toml` conditional as well.
* Make `nu-pretty-hex` example a proper example
This allows making `rand` a dev-dependency in this crate.
* when spawned process during register plugin, pass env to child process
* tweak comment
* tweak comment
* remove trailing whitespace
Co-authored-by: Darren Schroeder <343840+fdncred@users.noreply.github.com>
* Skeleton implementation
Lots and lots of TODOs
* Bootstrap simple CustomValue plugin support test
* Create nu_plugin_custom_value
* Skeleton for nu_plugin_custom_values
* Return a custom value from plugin
* Encode CustomValues from plugin calls as PluginResponse::PluginData
* Add new PluginCall variant CollapseCustomValue
* Handle CollapseCustomValue plugin calls
* Add CallInput::Data variant to CallInfo inputs
* Handle CallInfo with CallInput::Data plugin calls
* Send CallInput::Data if Value is PluginCustomValue from plugin calls
* Remove unnecessary boxing of plugins CallInfo
* Add fields needed to collapse PluginCustomValue to it
* Document PluginCustomValue and its purpose
* Impl collapsing using plugin calls in PluginCustomValue::to_base_value
* Implement proper typetag based deserialization for CoolCustomValue
* Test demonstrating that passing back a custom value to plugin works
* Added a failing test for describing plugin CustomValues
* Support describe for PluginCustomValues
- Add name to PluginResponse::PluginData
- Also turn it into a struct for clarity
- Add name to PluginCustomValue
- Return name field from PluginCustomValue
* Demonstrate that plugins can create and handle multiple CustomValues
* Add bincode to nu-plugin dependencies
This is for demonstration purposes, any schemaless binary seralization
format will work. I picked bincode since it's the most popular for Rust
but there are defintely better options out there for this usecase
* serde_json::Value -> Vec<u8>
* Update capnp schema for new CallInfo.input field
* Move call_input capnp serialization and deserialization into new file
* Deserialize Value's span from Value itself instead of passing call.head
I am not sure if this was correct and I am breaking it or if it was a
bug, I don't fully understand how nu creates and uses Spans. What should
reuse spans and what should recreate new ones?
But yeah it felt weird that the Value's Span was being ignored since in
the json serializer just uses the Value's Span
* Add call_info value round trip test
* Add capnp CallInput::Data serialization and deserialization support
* Add CallInfo::CollapseCustomValue to capnp schema
* Add capnp PluginCall::CollapseCustomValue serialization and deserialization support
* Add PluginResponse::PluginData to capnp schema
* Add capnp PluginResponse::PluginData serialization and deserialization support
* Switch plugins::custom_values tests to capnp
Both json and capnp would work now! Sadly I can't choose both at the
same time :(
* Add missing JsonSerializer round trip tests
* Handle plugin returning PluginData as a response to CollapseCustomValue
* Refactor plugin calling into a reusable function
Many less levels of indentation now!
* Export PluginData from nu_plugin
So plugins can create their very own serve_plugin with whatever
CustomValue behavior they may desire
* Error if CustomValue cannot be handled by Plugin
* Initial implementation of ordered call args
* Run cargo fmt
* Fix some clippy lints
* Add positional len and nth
* Cargo fmt
* Remove more old nth calls
* Good ole rustfmt
* Add named len

* Include license text in all crates
Three crates already have license texts, so I'm keeping them, but
symlinking the `LICENSE` from the top level to the rest of the crate
directories. This works as long as `cargo publish` is done on a Unix-y
system and not Windows.
Also bump the copyright year to end in 2022.
