# Description
Added `debug -v` in case the default parameter is a string so that it
will be not be printed literally:
- Before
```nu
--char: <string> (default: )
```
```nu
--char: <string> (default:
)
```
```nu
--char: <string> (default: abc)
```
- After
```nu
--char: <string> (default: " ")
```
```nu
--char: <string> (default: "\n")
```
```nu
--char: <string> (default: "abc")
```
Other types like `int` remain unaffected.

Adding to #15962, I have realized that there are windows gui programs
like `prismlauncher` or `firefox` that do accept the `--help` flag but
won't output on the terminal unless `collect`ed, so now it collects the
output on windows.

# Description
I have just discovered the `std/help` command and that it can use `man`
or other programs for externals. Coming from windows, I don't have `man`
so what I want is just to run `external_program --help` in most cases.
This pr adds that option, if you set `$env.NU_HELPER = "--help"`, it
will run the command you passed with `--help` added as the last
argument.

# Description
Commands in `std/log` assume the `export-env` has been run and the
relevant environment variables are set.
However, when modules/libraries import `std/log` without defining their
own `export-env` block to run `std/log`'s, logging commands will fail at
runtime.
While it's on the author of the modules to include `export-env { use
std/log [] }` in their modules, this is a very simple issue to solve and
would make the user experience smoother.
# User-Facing Changes
`std/log` work without problem when their env vars are not set.

thought I would get the ball rolling with this one.
# User-Facing Changes

`std-rfc` version of clip modules will give a deprecation warning

Following #15843, I have tinkered more with it and realized that there
are plenty of features from
[hyperfine](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine) that could be
implemented pretty easily.
- `--warmup` flag to do `n` runs without benchmarking first, useful to
fill disk cache
```nu
@example "use --warmup to fill the disk cache before benchmarking" { bench { fd } { jwalk . -k } -w 1 -n 10 }
```
- `--setup`, `--prepare`, `--cleanup`, `--conclude` flags to run code
before/after benchmarks
```nu
@example "use `--setup` to compile before benchmarking" { bench { ./target/release/foo } --setup { cargo build --release } }
@example "use `--prepare` to benchmark rust compilation speed" { bench { cargo build --release } --prepare { cargo clean } }
```
- `--ignore-errors` to ignore any errors in the benchmarked commands
- benchmarked commands are now `| ignore` so that externals don't fill
the screen
# Description
- Use #15770 to
- improve `get --sensitive` deprecation warning
- add deprecation warning for `filter`
- refactor `filter` to use `where` as its implementation
- replace usages of `filter` with `where` in `std`

# Description
Like [hyperfine](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine), I have added the
option to the `bench` command to benchmark multiple commands and then
compare the results.
```
→ bench { ls -a | is-empty } { fd | is-empty }
# | code | mean | min | max | std | ratio
---+----------------------+------------------+-----------------+------------------+-------------+-------
0 | { ls -a | is-empty } | 3ms 816µs 562ns | 3ms 670µs 400ns | 4ms 334µs | 146µs 304ns | 1.00
1 | { fd | is-empty } | 33ms 325µs 304ns | 31ms 963µs | 36ms 328µs 500ns | 701µs 295ns | 8.73
→ bench -p { ls -a | is-empty } { fd | is-empty }
Benchmark 1: { ls -a | is-empty }
3ms 757µs 124ns +/- 103µs 165ns
Benchmark 2: { fd | is-empty }
33ms 403µs 680ns +/- 704µs 904ns
{ ls -a | is-empty } ran
8.89 times faster than { fd | is-empty }
```
When passing a single closure, it should behave the same except that
now, the `--verbose` flag controls whether the durations of every round
is printed, and the progress indicator is in it's own flag `--progress`.
# User-Facing Changes
There are user-facing changes, but I don't think anyone is using the
output of `bench` programmatically so it hopefully won't break anything.

Difference in the banner in 2 separate starts.

It's been this long since Nushell's first commit:
5yrs 10months 29days 9hrs 1min 47secs

### New
```nushell
It's been this long since Nushell's first commit:
5yrs 10months 29days 9hrs 1min 22secs 49ms 885µs
```
There should be ns above on the new one, not sure why there isn't. It
could have something to do with how the banner works but i'll save that
for another PR.
🤔 It could be because there are no fractional seconds in the math?
`datetime-diff (date now) 2019-05-10T09:59:12-07:00`. However, I'm not
sure why `date now` has no nanoseconds. Oh, wait. I think that's because
MacOS doesn't have nanosecond precision?

`path add`, when given a record, sets `$env.PATH` according to the value
of the key matching `$nu.os-info.name`. There already existed a check in
place to ensure the correct column existed, but it was never reached
because of an early error on `path expand`ing `null`. This has been
fixed, as well as the out-of-date reference to "darwin" instead of
"macos" in the example.
# User-Facing Changes
`path add` now simply ignores a record that doesn't include a key for the current OS
`path add` also will no longer add duplicate paths.
We only have one valid `datetime` type, but the string representation of
that type was `date`. This PR updates the string representation of the
`datetime` type to be `datetime` and updates other affected
dependencies:
* A `describe` example that used `date`
* The style computer automatically recognized the new change, but also
changed the default `date: purple` to `datetime: purple`.
* Likewise, changed the `default_config.nu` to populate
`$env.config.color_config.datetime`
* Likewise, the dark and light themes in `std/config`
* Updates tests
* Unrelated, but changed the `into value` error messages to use
*"datetime"* if there's an issue.
Fixes#9916 and perhaps others.
## Breaking Changes:
* Code that expected `describe` to return a `date` will now return a
`datetime`
* User configs and themes that override `$env.config.color_config.date`
will need to be updated to use `datetime`
The banner will now use three new `$env.config.color_config` settings:
- `banner_foreground`: The primary color of the banner text
- `banner_highlight1`: Used for the first set of highlights, e.g.,
`Nushell`, `nu`, `GitHub`, et. al
- `banner_highlight2`: Used for the second set of highlights, e.g.
`Discord`, `Documentation`, et. al.
If the settings above are not defined, `banner` continues to use the
default green/purple/foreground. However, two more lines use the
purple/highlight2 in order to give more separation and consistency to
the colorization.
# Description
This PR adds two new `ParseError` and `ShellError` cases for type errors
relating to operators.
- `OperatorUnsupportedType` is used when a type is not supported by an
operator in any way, shape, or form. E.g., `+` does not support `bool`.
- `OperatorIncompatibleTypes` is used when a operator is used with types
it supports, but the combination of types provided cannot be used
together. E.g., `filesize + duration` is not a valid combination.
The other preexisting error cases related to operators have been removed
and replaced with the new ones above. Namely:
- `ShellError::OperatorMismatch`
- `ShellError::UnsupportedOperator`
- `ParseError::UnsupportedOperationLHS`
- `ParseError::UnsupportedOperationRHS`
- `ParseError::UnsupportedOperationTernary`
# User-Facing Changes
- `help operators` now lists the precedence of `not` as 55 instead of 0
(above the other boolean operators). Fixes#13675.
- `math median` and `math mode` now ignore NaN values so that `[NaN NaN]
| math median` and `[NaN NaN] | math mode` no longer trigger a type
error. Instead, it's now an empty input error. Fixing this in earnest
can be left for a future PR.
- Comparisons with `nan` now return false instead of causing an error.
E.g., `1 == nan` is now `false`.
- All the operator type errors have been standardized and reworked. In
particular, they can now have a help message, which is currently used
for types errors relating to `++`.
```nu
[1] ++ 2
```
```
Error: nu::parser::operator_unsupported_type
× The '++' operator does not work on values of type 'int'.
╭─[entry #1:1:5]

help: if you meant to append a value to a list or a record to a table, use the `append` command or wrap the value in a list. For example: `$list ++ $value` should be
`$list ++ [$value]` or `$list | append $value`.
```
# Description
Add custom command attributes.
- Attributes are placed before a command definition and start with a `@`
character.
- Attribute invocations consist of const command call. The command's
name must start with "attr ", but this prefix is not used in the
invocation.
- A command named `attr example` is invoked as an attribute as
`@example`
- Several built-in attribute commands are provided as part of this PR
- `attr example`: Attaches an example to the commands help text
```nushell
# Double numbers
@example "double an int" { 5 | double } --result 10
@example "double a float" { 0.5 | double } --result 1.0
def double []: [number -> number] {
$in * 2
}
```
- `attr search-terms`: Adds search terms to a command
- ~`attr env`: Equivalent to using `def --env`~
- ~`attr wrapped`: Equivalent to using `def --wrapped`~ shelved for
later discussion
- several testing related attributes in `std/testing`
- If an attribute has no internal/special purpose, it's stored as
command metadata that can be obtained with `scope commands`.
- This allows having attributes like `@test` which can be used by test
runners.
- Used the `@example` attribute for `std` examples.
- Updated the std tests and test runner to use `@test` attributes
- Added completions for attributes

arbitrary attributes.

# Description
The `(version).build_os` variable inherits from `shadow_rs` `BUILD_OS`
which points to the OS on which the binary was built but does not
reflect the target if it was cross-compiled. We cross-compile several of
the targets for our binary releases. Thus the info in the banner was
misleading.
# User-Facing Changes
By changing to `build_target` the target triple is shown instead.
This is slightly more verbose but should also allow disambiguation
between the `musl` and `glibc` builds.

This PR adds pipeline input support to `generate`.
- Without input, `generate` keeps its current behavior.
- With input, each invocation of the closure is provided an item from
the input stream as pipeline input (`$in`). If/when the input stream
runs out, `generate` also stops.
Before this PR, there is no filter command that is both stateful _and_
streaming.
This PR also refactors `std/iter scan` to use `generate`, making it
streaming and more performant over larger inputs.
# User-Facing Changes

Adds:
```nushell

This will display *only* the startup time. That was the only information
from the banner that the user couldn't possibly include in their own
config/banner (since it is `-1ns` during startup). This allows one to
create their own banner and yet still show the startup time.
Example (can be a file named `banner.nu` in autoloads:
```nushell
$env.config.show_banner = "short"
let ver = (version)
print $"(ansi blue_bold)Nushell Release:(ansi reset) ($ver.version) \(($ver.build_os)\)"

After the change, `std help` will no-longer print out "double error"
messages.
Actually I think it's tricky to make it right. To make `help <cmd>`
keeps paging feature from fallback `man` command. I have to split
`commands` into `scope-commands` and `external-commands`.
If we don't split it, simply call `let commands = (try { commands
$target_item --find $find })` in `help main` will cause us to lost
paging feature, which is not we want.
A comment from original issue:
> If there are no objections, I'd like to remove the man page fallback
code from std help for the moment. While it's probably fixable, it's
also platform specific and requires testing on all platforms. It also
seems like a low-value add here.
Actually I think it's a beautiful feature of `std help`, so I want to
keep it here.
# User-Facing Changes
### Before
```nushell
> help commands asdfadsf
Help pages from external command asdfadsf:
No manual entry for asdfadsf
Error: × std::help::command_not_found
╭─[entry #11:1:15]
1 │ help commands asdfadsf
· ────┬───
· ╰── command not found
╰────
```
### After
```nushell
> help commands asdfasdf
Help pages from external command asdfasdf:
No manual entry for asdfasdf
```
# Tests + Formatting
Actually it's a little hard to add test because it required user input
(especially for fallback `man` command)
# Description
The "append" operator currently serves as both the append operator and
the concatenation operator. This dual role creates ambiguity when
operating on nested lists.
```nu
[1 2] ++ 3 # appends a value to a list [1 2 3]
[1 2] ++ [3 4] # concatenates two lists [1 2 3 4]
[[1 2] [3 4]] ++ [5 6]
# does this give [[1 2] [3 4] [5 6]]
# or [[1 2] [3 4] 5 6]
```
Another problem is that `++=` can change the type of a variable:
```nu
mut str = 'hello '
$str ++= ['world']
($str | describe) == list<string>
```
Note that appending is only relevant for lists, but concatenation is
relevant for lists, strings, and binary values. Additionally, appending
can be expressed in terms of concatenation (see example below). So, this
PR changes the `++` operator to only perform concatenation.
# User-Facing Changes
Using the `++` operator with a list and a non-list value will now be a
compile time or runtime error.
```nu
mut list = []
$list ++= 1 # error
```
Instead, concatenate a list with one element:
```nu
$list ++= [1]
```
Or use `append`:
```nu
$list = $list | append 1
```

# Release-Notes Short Description
* Nushell now always loads its internal `default_env.nu` before the user
`env.nu` is loaded, then loads the internal `default_config.nu` before
the user's `config.nu` is loaded. This allows for a simpler
user-configuration experience. The Configuration Chapter of the Book
will be updated soon with the new behavior.
# Description
Implements the main ideas in #13671 and a few more:
* Users can now specify only the environment and config options they
want to override in *their* `env.nu` and `config.nu`and yet still have
access to all of the defaults:
* `default_env.nu` (internally defined) will be loaded whenever (and
before) the user's `env.nu` is loaded.
* `default_config.nu` (internally defined) will be loaded whenever (and
before) the user's `config.nu` is loaded.
* No more 900+ line config out-of-the-box.
* Faster startup (again): ~40-45% improvement in launch time with a
default configuration.
* New keys that are added to the defaults in the future will
automatically be available to all users after updating Nushell. No need
to regenerate config to get the new defaults.
* It is now possible to have different internal defaults (which will be
used with `-c` and scripts) vs. REPL defaults. This would have solved
many of the user complaints about the [`display_errors`
implementation](https://www.nushell.sh/blog/2024-09-17-nushell_0_98_0.html#non-zero-exit-codes-are-now-errors-toc).
* A basic "scaffold" `config.nu` and `env.nu` are created on first
launch (if the config directory isn't present).
* Improved "out-of-the-box" experience (OOBE) - No longer asks to create
the files; the minimal scaffolding will be automatically created. If
deleted, they will not be regenerated. This provides a better
"out-of-the-box" experience for the user as they no longer have to make
this decision (without much info on the pros or cons) when first
launching.
* <s>(New: 2024-11-07) Runs the env_conversions process after the
`default_env.nu` is loaded so that users can treat `Path`/`PATH` as
lists in their own config.</s>
* (New: 2024-11-08) Given the changes in #13802, `default_config.nu`
will be a minimal file to minimize load-times. This shaves another (on
my system) ~3ms off the base launch time.
* Related: Keybindings, menus, and hooks that are already internal
defaults are no longer duplicated in `$env.config`. The documentation
will be updated to cover these scenarios.
* (New: 2024-11-08) Move existing "full" `default_config.nu` to
`sample_config.nu` for short-term "documentation" purposes.
* (New: 2024-11-18) Move the `dark-theme` and `light-theme` to Standard
Library and demonstrate their use - Also improves startup times, but
we're reaching the limit of optimization.
* (New: 2024-11-18) Extensively documented/commented `sample_env.nu` and
`sample_config.nu`. These can be displayed in-shell using (for example)
`config nu --sample | nu-highlight | less -R`. Note: Much of this will
eventually be moved to or (some) duplicated in the Doc. But for now,
this some nice in-shell doc that replaces the older
"commented/documented default".
* (New: 2024-11-20) Runs the `ENV_CONVERSIONS` process (1) after the
`default_env.nu` (allows `PATH` to be used as a list in user's `env.nu`)
and (2) before `default_config.nu` is loaded (allows user's
`ENV_CONVERSIONS` from their `env.nu` to be used in their `config.nu`).
* <s>(New: 2024-11-20) The default `ENV_CONVERSIONS` is now an empty
record. The internal Rust code handles `PATH` (and variants) conversions
regardless of the `ENV_CONVERSIONS` variable. This shaves a *very* small
amount of time off the startup.</s> Reset - Looks like there might be a
bug in `nu-enginer::env::ensure_path()` on Windows that would need to be
fixed in order for this to work.
# User-Facing Changes
By default, you shouldn't see much, if any, change when running this
with your existing configuration.
To see the greatest benefit from these changes, you'll probably want to
start with a "fresh" config. This can be easily tested using something
like:
```nushell
let temp_home = (mktemp -d)
$env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME = $temp_home
$env.XDG_DATA_HOME = $temp_home
./target/release/nu
```
You should see a message where the (mostly empty) `env.nu` and
`config.nu` are created on first start. Defaults should be the same (or
similar to) those before the PR. Please let me know if you notice any
differences.
---
Users should now specify configuration in terms of overrides of each
setting. For instance, rather than modifying `history` settings in the
monolithic `config.nu`, the following is recommended in an updated
`config.nu`:
```nu
$env.config.history = {
file_format: sqlite,
sync_on_enter: true
isolation: true
max_size: 1_000_000
}
```
or even just:
```nu
$env.config.history.file_format = sqlite
$env.config.history.isolation: true
$env.config.history.max_size = 1_000_000
```
Note: It seems many users are already appending a `source my_config.nu`
(or similar pattern) to the end of the existing `config.nu` to make
updates easier. In this case, they will likely want to remove all of the
previous defaults and just move their `my_config.nu` to `config.nu`.
Note: It should be unlikely that there are any breaking changes here,
but there's a slim chance that some code, somewhere, *expects* an
absence of certain config values. Otherwise, all config values are
available before and after this change.
# Tests + Formatting
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`
# After Submitting
Configuration Chapter (and related) of the doc is currently WIP and will
be finished in time for 0.101 release.
# Description
Follow-up to #13842. In that commit, using one of the `dirs`/`shells`
aliases would notify the user that it would no longer be autoloaded in
future releases. This is the removal stage.
Side-benefit: Additional 1ms+ load time improvement
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking-change - `dirs` aliases are no longer autoloaded.
Users can either choose to continue using the aliases by adding the
following to the startup:
```nu
use std/dirs shells-aliases *
```
Alternatively, users can use the `dirs` subcommands (rather than the
aliases) with:
```nu
use std/dirs
```
# Description
This PR adds `like` as a synonym for `=~` and `not-like` as a synonym
for `!~`. This is mainly a quality-of-life change to help those people
who think in sql.

# Description
Uses "normal" module `std/<submodule>/mod.nu` instead of renaming the
files (as requested in #13842).
# User-Facing Changes
No user-facing changes other than in `view files` results. Imports
remain the same after this PR.
# Tests + Formatting
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`
Also manually confirmed that it does not interfere with nupm, since we
did have a conflict at one point (and it's not possible to test here).
