# Description
The meaning of the word usage is specific to describing how a command
function is *used* and not a synonym for general description. Usage can
be used to describe the SYNOPSIS or EXAMPLES sections of a man page
where the permitted argument combinations are shown or example *uses*
are given.
Let's not confuse people and call it what it is a description.
Our `help` command already creates its own *Usage* section based on the
available arguments and doesn't refer to the description with usage.
# User-Facing Changes
`help commands` and `scope commands` will now use `description` or
`extra_description`
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
Breaking change in the plugin protocol:
In the signature record communicated with the engine.
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
The same rename also takes place for the methods on
`SimplePluginCommand` and `PluginCommand`

Fixes#11267
Shifting by a `shift >= num_bits` is undefined in the underlying
operation. Previously we also had an overflow on negative shifts for the
operators `bit-shl` and `bit-shr`
Furthermore I found a severe bug in the implementation of shifting of
`binary` data with the commands `bits shl` and `bits shr`, this
categorically produced incorrect results with shifts that were not
`shift % 4 == 0`. `bits shr` also was able to produce outputs with
different size to the input if the shift was exceeding the length of the
input data by more than a byte.
# User-Facing Changes
It is now an error trying to shift by more than the available bits with:
- `bit-shl` operator
- `bit-shr` operator
- command `bits shl`
- command `bits shr`
# Tests + Formatting

Fixes Issue #13477
This adds a check to see if a user is trying to invoke a
(non-executable) file as a command and returns a helpful error if so.
EDIT: this will not work on Windows, and is arguably not relevant there,
because of the different semantics of executables. I think the
equivalent on Windows would be if a user tries to invoke `./foo`, we
should look for `foo.exe` or `foo.bat` in the directory and recommend
that if it exists.
# User-Facing Changes
When a user invokes an unrecognized command that is the path to an
existing file, the error used to say:
`{name} is neither a Nushell built-in or a known external command`
This PR proposes to change the message to:
`{name} refers to a file that is not executable. Did you forget to to
set execute permissions?`
# Tests + Formatting
Ran cargo fmt, clippy and test on the workspace.
EDIT: added test asserting the new behavior
# Description
As per our Wednesday meeting, this adds a parse error when something
that would be parsed as an external call is present at the top level,
unless the head of the external call begins with a caret (to make it
explicit).
I tried to make the error quite descriptive about what should be done.
# User-Facing Changes
These now cause a parse error:
```nushell
$foo = bar
$foo = `bar`
```
These would have been interpreted as strings before this version, but
now they'd be interpreted as external calls. This behavior is consistent
with `let`/`mut` (which is unaffected by this change).
Here is an example of the error:
```
Error: × External command calls must be explicit in assignments
╭─[entry #3:1:8]
1 │ $foo = bar
· ─┬─
· ╰── add a caret (^) before the command name if you intended to run and capture its output
╰────
help: the parsing of assignments was changed in 0.97.0, and this would have previously been treated as a string.
Alternatively, quote the string with single or double quotes to avoid it being interpreted as a command name. This
restriction may be removed in a future release.
```

Part 3 of replacing `std::path` types with `nu_path` types added in
#13115. This PR targets the paths listed in `$nu`. That is, the home,
config, data, and cache directories.
# Description
This makes assignment operations and `const` behave the same way `let`
and `mut` do, absorbing the rest of the pipeline.
Changes the lexer to be able to recognize assignment operators as a
separate token, and then makes the lite parser continue to push spans
into the same command regardless of any redirections or pipes if an
assignment operator is encountered. Because the pipeline is no longer
split up by the lite parser at this point, it's trivial to just parse
the right hand side as if it were a subexpression not contained within
parentheses.
# User-Facing Changes
Big breaking change. These are all now possible:
```nushell
const path = 'a' | path join 'b'
mut x = 2
$x = random int
$x = [1 2 3] | math sum
$env.FOO = random chars
```
In the past, these would have led to (an attempt at) bare word string
parsing. So while `$env.FOO = bar` would have previously set the
environment variable `FOO` to the string `"bar"`, it now tries to run
the command named `bar`, hence the major breaking change.
However, this is desirable because it is very consistent - if you see
the `=`, you can just assume it absorbs everything else to the right of
it.
# Tests + Formatting
Added tests for the new behaviour. Adjusted some existing tests that
depended on the right hand side of assignments being parsed as
barewords.

# Description
[Discovered](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/614593951969574961/1266503282554179604)
by `@warp` on Discord.
The IR compiler was not properly setting redirect modes for
subexpressions because `FullCellPath` was always being compiled with
capture-out redirection. This is the correct behavior if there is a tail
to the `FullCellPath`, as we need the value in order to try to extract
anything from it (although this is unlikely to work) - however, the
parser also generates `FullCellPath`s with an empty tail quite often,
including for bare subexpressions.
Because of this, the following did not behave as expected:
```nushell
(docker run -it --rm alpine)
```
Capturing the output meant that `docker` didn't have direct access to
the terminal as a TTY.
As this is a minor bug fix, it should be okay to include in the 0.96.1
patch release.
# User-Facing Changes
- Fixes the bug as described when running with IR evaluation enabled.
# Tests + Formatting
I added a test for this, though we're not currently running all tests
with IR on the CI, but it should ensure this behaviour is consistent.
The equivalent minimum repro I could find was:
```nushell
(nu --testbin cococo); null
```
as this should cause the `cococo` message to appear on stdout, and if
Nushell is capturing the output, it would be discarded instead.
# Description

I must have forgotten that `Expr::Range` can contain other expressions,
so I wasn't searching for `$in` to replace within it. Easy fix.
# User-Facing Changes
Bug fix, ranges like `6 | 3..$in` work as expected now.
# Tests + Formatting
Added regression test.
# Description
This corrects the parsing of unknown arguments provided to known
externals to behave exactly like external arguments passed to normal
external calls.
I've done this by adding a `SyntaxShape::ExternalArgument` which
triggers the same parsing rules.
Because I didn't like how the highlighting looked, I modified the
flattener to emit `ExternalArg` flat shapes for arguments that have that
syntax shape and are plain strings/globs. This is the same behavior that
external calls have.
Aside from passing the tests, I've also checked manually that the
completer seems to work adequately. I can confirm that specified
positional arguments get completion according to their specified type
(including custom completions), and then anything remaining gets
filepath style completion, as you'd expect from an external command.
Thanks to @OJarrisonn for originally finding this issue.
# User-Facing Changes
- Unknown args are now parsed according to their specified syntax shape,
rather than `Any`. This may be a breaking change, though I think it's
extremely unlikely in practice.
- The unspecified arguments of known externals are now highlighted /
flattened identically to normal external arguments, which makes it more
clear how they're being interpreted, and should help the completer
function properly.
- Known externals now have an implicit rest arg if not specified named
`args`, with a syntax shape of `ExternalArgument`.

# Description
Adds functionality to the plugin interface to support calling internal
commands from plugins. For example, using `view ir --json`:
```rust
let closure: Value = call.req(0)?;
let Some(decl_id) = engine.find_decl("view ir")? else {
return Err(LabeledError::new("`view ir` not found"));
};
let ir_json = engine.call_decl(
decl_id,
EvaluatedCall::new(call.head)
.with_named("json".into_spanned(call.head), Value::bool(true, call.head))
.with_positional(closure),
PipelineData::Empty,
true,
false,
)?.into_value()?.into_string()?;
let ir = serde_json::from_value(&ir_json);
// ...
```
# User-Facing Changes
Plugin developers can now use `EngineInterface::find_decl()` and
`call_decl()` to call internal commands, which could be handy for
formatters like `to csv` or `to nuon`, or for reflection commands that
help gain insight into the engine.

# Description
This grew quite a bit beyond its original scope, but I've tried to make
`$in` a bit more consistent and easier to work with.
Instead of the parser generating calls to `collect` and creating
closures, this adds `Expr::Collect` which just evaluates in the same
scope and doesn't require any closure.
When `$in` is detected in an expression, it is replaced with a new
variable (also called `$in`) and wrapped in `Expr::Collect`. During
eval, this expression is evaluated directly, with the input and with
that new variable set to the collected value.
Other than being faster and less prone to gotchas, it also makes it
possible to typecheck the output of an expression containing `$in`,
which is nice. This is a breaking change though, because of the lack of
the closure and because now typechecking will actually happen. Also, I
haven't attempted to typecheck the input yet.
The IR generated now just looks like this:
```gas
collect %in
clone %tmp, %in
store-variable $in, %tmp
# %out <- ...expression... <- %in
drop-variable $in
```
(where `$in` is the local variable created for this collection, and not
`IN_VARIABLE_ID`)
which is a lot better than having to create a closure and call `collect
--keep-env`, dealing with all of the capture gathering and allocation
that entails. Ideally we can also detect whether that input is actually
needed, so maybe we don't have to clone, but I haven't tried to do that
yet. Theoretically now that the variable is a unique one every time, it
should be possible to give it a type - I just don't know how to
determine that yet.
On top of that, I've also reworked how `$in` works in pipeline-initial
position. Previously, it was a little bit inconsistent. For example,
this worked:
```nushell
> 3 | do { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }
3
3
```
However, this causes a runtime variable not found error on the second
`$in`:
```nushell
> def foo [] { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }; 3 | foo
Error: nu:🐚:variable_not_found
× Variable not found
╭─[entry #115:1:35]
1 │ def foo [] { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }; 3 | foo
· ─┬─
· ╰── variable not found
╰────
```
I've fixed this by making the first element `$in` detection *always*
happen at the block level, so if you use `$in` in pipeline-initial
position anywhere in a block, it will collect with an implicit
subexpression around the whole thing, and you can then use that `$in`
more than once. In doing this I also rewrote `parse_pipeline()` and
hopefully it's a bit more straightforward and possibly more efficient
too now.
Finally, I've tried to make `let` and `mut` a lot more straightforward
with how they handle the rest of the pipeline, and using a redirection
with `let`/`mut` now does what you'd expect if you assume that they
consume the whole pipeline - the redirection is just processed as
normal. These both work now:
```nushell
let x = ^foo err> err.txt
let y = ^foo out+err>| str length
```
It was previously possible to accomplish this with a subexpression, but
it just seemed like a weird gotcha that you couldn't do it. Intuitively,
`let` and `mut` just seem to take the whole line.
- closes#13137
# User-Facing Changes
- `$in` will behave more consistently with blocks and closures, since
the entire block is now just wrapped to handle it if it appears in the
first pipeline element
- `$in` no longer creates a closure, so what can be done within an
expression containing `$in` is less restrictive
- `$in` containing expressions are now type checked, rather than just
resulting in `any`. However, `$in` itself is still `any`, so this isn't
quite perfect yet
- Redirections are now allowed in `let` and `mut` and behave pretty much
how you'd expect

# Description
This PR adds an internal representation language to Nushell, offering an
alternative evaluator based on simple instructions, stream-containing
registers, and indexed control flow. The number of registers required is
determined statically at compile-time, and the fixed size required is
allocated upon entering the block.
Each instruction is associated with a span, which makes going backwards
from IR instructions to source code very easy.
Motivations for IR:
1. **Performance.** By simplifying the evaluation path and making it
more cache-friendly and branch predictor-friendly, code that does a lot
of computation in Nushell itself can be sped up a decent bit. Because
the IR is fairly easy to reason about, we can also implement
optimization passes in the future to eliminate and simplify code.
2. **Correctness.** The instructions mostly have very simple and
easily-specified behavior, so hopefully engine changes are a little bit
easier to reason about, and they can be specified in a more formal way
at some point. I have made an effort to document each of the
instructions in the docs for the enum itself in a reasonably specific
way. Some of the errors that would have happened during evaluation
before are now moved to the compilation step instead, because they don't
make sense to check during evaluation.
3. **As an intermediate target.** This is a good step for us to bring
the [`new-nu-parser`](https://github.com/nushell/new-nu-parser) in at
some point, as code generated from new AST can be directly compared to
code generated from old AST. If the IR code is functionally equivalent,
it will behave the exact same way.
4. **Debugging.** With a little bit more work, we can probably give
control over advancing the virtual machine that `IrBlock`s run on to
some sort of external driver, making things like breakpoints and single
stepping possible. Tools like `view ir` and [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir) make it easier than
before to see what exactly is going on with your Nushell code.
The goal is to eventually replace the AST evaluator entirely, once we're
sure it's working just as well. You can help dogfood this by running
Nushell with `$env.NU_USE_IR` set to some value. The environment
variable is checked when Nushell starts, so config runs with IR, or it
can also be set on a line at the REPL to change it dynamically. It is
also checked when running `do` in case within a script you want to just
run a specific piece of code with or without IR.
# Example
```nushell
view ir { |data|
mut sum = 0
for n in $data {
$sum += $n
}
$sum
}
```
```gas
# 3 registers, 19 instructions, 0 bytes of data
0: load-literal %0, int(0)
1: store-variable var 904, %0 # let
2: drain %0
3: drop %0
4: load-variable %1, var 903
5: iterate %0, %1, end 15 # for, label(1), from(14:)
6: store-variable var 905, %0
7: load-variable %0, var 904
8: load-variable %2, var 905
9: binary-op %0, Math(Plus), %2
10: span %0
11: store-variable var 904, %0
12: load-literal %0, nothing
13: drain %0
14: jump 5
15: drop %0 # label(0), from(5:)
16: drain %0
17: load-variable %0, var 904
18: return %0
```
# Benchmarks
All benchmarks run on a base model Mac Mini M1.
## Iterative Fibonacci sequence
This is about as best case as possible, making use of the much faster
control flow. Most code will not experience a speed improvement nearly
this large.
```nushell
def fib [n: int] {
mut a = 0
mut b = 1
for _ in 2..=$n {
let c = $a + $b
$a = $b
$b = $c
}
$b
}
use std bench
bench { 0..50 | each { |n| fib $n } }

I got pretty random results out of this benchmark so I decided not to
include it. Not clear why.
# User-Facing Changes
- IR compilation errors may appear even if the user isn't evaluating
with IR.
- IR evaluation can be enabled by setting the `NU_USE_IR` environment
variable to any value.
- New command `view ir` pretty-prints the IR for a block, and `view ir
--json` can be piped into an external tool like [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir).
# Tests + Formatting
All tests are passing with `NU_USE_IR=1`, and I've added some more eval
tests to compare the results for some very core operations. I will
probably want to add some more so we don't have to always check
`NU_USE_IR=1 toolkit test --workspace` on a regular basis.

- [ ] release notes
- [ ] further documentation of instructions?
- [ ] post-release: publish `nu_plugin_explore_ir`
# Description
Fixes the lexer to recognize `out>|`, `err>|`, `out+err>|`, etc.
Previously only the short-style forms were recognized, which was
inconsistent with normal file redirections.
I also integrated it all more into the normal lex path by checking `|`
in a special way, which should be more performant and consistent, and
cleans up the code a bunch.
Closes#13331.
# User-Facing Changes
- Adds `out>|` (error), `err>|`, `out+err>|`, `err+out>|` as recognized
forms of the pipe redirection.

This PR fixes the problem pointed out in
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/13204, where the Fish-like
completions aren't sorted properly (this PR doesn't close that issue
because the author there wants more than just fixed sort order).
The cause is all of the file/directory completions being fetched first
and then sorted all together while being treated as strings. Instead,
this PR sorts completions within each individual directory, avoiding
treating `/` as part of the path.
To do this, I removed the `sort` method from the completer trait (as
well as `get_sort_by`) and made all completers sort within the `fetch`
method itself. A generic `sort_completions` helper has been added to
sort lists of completions, and a more specific `sort_suggestions` helper
has been added to sort `Vec<Suggestion>`s.
As for the actual change that fixes the sort order for file/directory
completions, the `complete_rec` helper now sorts the children of each
directory before visiting their children. The file and directory
completers don't bother sorting at the end (except to move hidden files
down).
To reviewers: don't let the 29 changed files scare you, most of those
are just the test fixtures :)

- Modified fixture to test sort order of .nu completions (a previous
version of my changes didn't sort all the completions at the end but
there were no tests catching that)
- Added a test for making sure subcommand completions are sorted by
Levenshtein distance (a previous version of my changes sorted in
alphabetical order but there were no tests catching that)

# Description
Fixes: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/12099
Currently if user run `use voice.nu`, and file is unchanged, then run
`use voice.nu` again. nushell will use the module directly, even if
submodule inside `voice.nu` is changed.
After discussed with @kubouch, I think it's ok to re-parse the module
file when:
1. It exports sub modules which are defined by a file
2. It uses other modules which are defined by a file
## About the change:
To achieve the behavior, we need to add 2 attributes to `Module`:
1. `imported_modules`: it tracks the other modules is imported by the
givem `module`, e.g: `use foo.nu`
2. `file`: the path of a module, if a module is defined by a file, it
will be `Some(path)`, or else it will be `None`.
After the change:
use voice.nu always read the file and parse it.
use voice will still use the module which is saved in EngineState.
# User-Facing Changes
use `xxx.nu` will read the file and parse it if it exports submodules or
uses submodules

# Description

file with CRLF line endings.

# User-Facing Changes
Users on Windows will get correct autocompletion for `std` commands.
# Description
This allows plugins to report their version (and potentially other
metadata in the future). The version is shown in `plugin list` and in
`version`.
The metadata is stored in the registry file, and reflects whatever was
retrieved on `plugin add`, not necessarily the running binary. This can
help you to diagnose if there's some kind of mismatch with what you
expect. We could potentially use this functionality to show a warning or
error if a plugin being run does not have the same version as what was
in the cache file, suggesting `plugin add` be run again, but I haven't
done that at this point.
It is optional, and it requires the plugin author to make some code
changes if they want to provide it, since I can't automatically
determine the version of the calling crate or anything tricky like that
to do it.
Example:
```
> plugin list | select name version is_running pid
╭───┬────────────────┬─────────┬────────────┬─────╮
│ # │ name │ version │ is_running │ pid │

this one command is gated behind a feature. It seems to be a relic of

There is a bug when `hide-env` is used on environment variables that

# Tests + Formatting
Added a test.
# Description
This PR introduces a `ByteStream` type which is a `Read`-able stream of
bytes. Internally, it has an enum over three different byte stream
sources:
```rust
pub enum ByteStreamSource {
Read(Box<dyn Read + Send + 'static>),
File(File),
Child(ChildProcess),
}
```
This is in comparison to the current `RawStream` type, which is an
`Iterator<Item = Vec<u8>>` and has to allocate for each read chunk.
Currently, `PipelineData::ExternalStream` serves a weird dual role where
it is either external command output or a wrapper around `RawStream`.
`ByteStream` makes this distinction more clear (via `ByteStreamSource`)
and replaces `PipelineData::ExternalStream` in this PR:
```rust
pub enum PipelineData {
Empty,
Value(Value, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
ListStream(ListStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
ByteStream(ByteStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
}
```
The PR is relatively large, but a decent amount of it is just repetitive
changes.
This PR fixes#7017, fixes#10763, and fixes#12369.
This PR also improves performance when piping external commands. Nushell
should, in most cases, have competitive pipeline throughput compared to,
e.g., bash.
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| -------------------------------------------------- | -------------:|
------------:| -----------:|
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 3059 | 3744 | 3739 |
| `throughput \| nu --testbin relay o> /dev/null` | 3508 | 8087 | 8136 |
# User-Facing Changes
- This is a breaking change for the plugin communication protocol,
because the `ExternalStreamInfo` was replaced with `ByteStreamInfo`.
Plugins now only have to deal with a single input stream, as opposed to
the previous three streams: stdout, stderr, and exit code.
- The output of `describe` has been changed for external/byte streams.
- Temporary breaking change: `bytes starts-with` no longer works with
byte streams. This is to keep the PR smaller, and `bytes ends-with`
already does not work on byte streams.
- If a process core dumped, then instead of having a `Value::Error` in
the `exit_code` column of the output returned from `complete`, it now is
a `Value::Int` with the negation of the signal number.
# After Submitting
- Update docs and book as necessary
- Release notes (e.g., plugin protocol changes)
- Adapt/convert commands to work with byte streams (high priority is
`str length`, `bytes starts-with`, and maybe `bytes ends-with`).
- Refactor the `tee` code, Devyn has already done some work on this.

This PR adds a single test to assert interactivity on slow pipelines
Currently the timeout is set to 6 seconds, as the test can sometimes
take ~3secs to run on my local m1 mac air, which I don't think is an

# Description
Fixes: #12795
The issue is caused by an empty position of `ParseError::UnexpectedEof`.
So no detailed message is displayed.
To fix the issue, I adjust the start of span to `span.end - 1`. In this
way, we can make sure that it never points to an empty position.
After lexing item, I also reorder the unclosed character checking . Now
it will be checking unclosed opening delimiters first.

# Description
This PR adds raw string support by using `r#` at the beginning of single
quoted strings and `#` at the end.
Notice that escapes do not process, even within single quotes,
parentheses don't mean anything, $variables don't mean anything. It's
just a string.
```nushell
❯ echo r#'one\ntwo (blah) ($var)'#
one\ntwo (blah) ($var)
```
Notice how they work without `echo` or `print` and how they work without
carriage returns.
```nushell
❯ r#'adsfa'#
adsfa
❯ r##"asdfa'@qpejq'##
asdfa'@qpejq
❯ r#'asdfasdfasf
∙ foqwejfqo@'23rfjqf'#
```
They also have a special configurable color in the repl. (use single
quotes though)
They should work like rust raw literals and allow `r##`, `r###`,
`r####`, etc, to help with having one or many `#`'s in the middle of
your raw-string.
They should work with `let` as well.
```nushell

This PR changes `$env` to be **case-preserving** instead of
case-sensitive. That is, it preserves the case of the environment
variable when it is first assigned, but subsequent retrieval and update
ignores the case.
Notably, both `$env.PATH` and `$env.Path` can now be used to read or set
the environment variable, but child processes will always see the
correct case based on the platform.
Fixes#11268.

This feature was surprising simple to implement, because most of the
infrastructure to support case-insensitive cell path access already
exists. The `get` command extracts data using a cell path in a
case-insensitive way (!), but accepts a `--sensitive` flag. (I think
this should be flipped around?)

I thought about bringing `nu_plugin_msgpack` in, but that is MPL with a
clause that prevents other licenses, so rather than adapt that code I
decided to take a crack at just doing it straight from `rmp` to `Value`
without any `rmpv` in the middle. It seems like it's probably faster,
though I can't say for sure how much with the plugin overhead.
@IanManske I started on a `Read` implementation for `RawStream` but just
specialized to `from msgpack` here, but I'm thinking after release maybe
we can polish it up and make it a real one. It works!

# Description
The local socket PR introduced a `Waitable` type, which could either
hold a value or be waited on until a value is available. Unlike a
channel, it would always return that value once set.
However, one issue with this design was that there was no way to detect
whether a value would ever be written. This splits the writer into a
different type `WaitableMut`, so that when it is dropped, waiting
threads can fail (because they'll never get a value).

# Description
Adds a new keyword, `plugin use`. Unlike `register`, this merely loads
the signatures from the plugin cache file. The file is configurable with
the `--plugin-config` option either to `nu` or to `plugin use` itself,
just like the other `plugin` family of commands. At the REPL, one might
do this to replace `register`:
```nushell
> plugin add ~/.cargo/bin/nu_plugin_foo
> plugin use foo
```
This will not work in a script, because `plugin use` is a keyword and
`plugin add` does not evaluate at parse time (intentionally). This means
we no longer run random binaries during parse.
The `--plugins` option has been added to allow running `nu` with certain
plugins in one step. This is used especially for the `nu_with_plugins!`
test macro, but I'd imagine is generally useful. The only weird quirk is
that it has to be a list, and we don't really do this for any of our
other CLI args at the moment.
`register` now prints a deprecation parse warning.
This should fix#11923, as we now have a complete alternative to
`register`.
# User-Facing Changes
- Add `plugin use` command
- Deprecate `register`
- Add `--plugins` option to `nu` to replace a common use of `register`
# Tests + Formatting
I think I've tested it thoroughly enough and every existing test passes.
Testing nu CLI options and alternate config files is a little hairy and
I wish there were some more generic helpers for this, so this will go on
my TODO list for refactoring.

The panic can happened if we pipe a variable to a custom command which

# Description
- Plugin signatures are now saved to `plugin.msgpackz`, which is
brotli-compressed MessagePack.
- The file is updated incrementally, rather than writing all plugin
commands in the engine every time.
- The file always contains the result of the `Signature` call to the
plugin, even if commands were removed.
- Invalid data for a particular plugin just causes an error to be
reported, but the rest of the plugins can still be parsed
# User-Facing Changes
- The plugin file has a different filename, and it's not a nushell
script.
- The default `plugin.nu` file will be automatically migrated the first
time, but not other plugin config files.
- We don't currently provide any utilities that could help edit this
file, beyond `plugin add` and `plugin rm`
- `from msgpackz`, `to msgpackz` could also help

# Description
`Value` describes the types of first-class values that users and scripts
can create, manipulate, pass around, and store. However, `Block`s are
not first-class values in the language, so this PR removes it from
`Value`. This removes some unnecessary code, and this change should be
invisible to the user except for the change to `scope modules` described
below.
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking change: the output of `scope modules` was changed so that
`env_block` is now `has_env_block` which is a boolean value instead of a
`Block`.
# After Submitting
Update the language guide possibly.
# Description
As suggested by @fdncred.
It's neat that this is possible, but the particularly useful part of
this is that we can actually
test it because it doesn't have any external dependencies, unlike the
python plugin.
Right now this just implements exactly the same behavior as the python
plugin, but we could have it
exercise a few more things.
Also fixes a couple of bugs:
- `.nu` plugins were not run with `nu --stdin`, so they couldn't take
input.
- `register` couldn't be called if `--no-config-file` was set, because
it would error on trying to
update the plugin file.
# User-Facing Changes
- `nu_plugin_nu_example` plugin added.
- `register` now works in `--no-config-file` mode.

# After Submitting
- [ ] Add the version bump to the release script just like for python
# Description
EngineState now tracks the script currently running, instead of the
parent directory of the script. This also provides an easy way to expose
the current running script to the user (Issue #12195).
Similarly, StateWorkingSet now tracks scripts instead of directories.
`parsed_module_files` and `currently_parsed_pwd` are merged into one
variable, `scripts`, which acts like a stack for tracking the current
running script (which is on the top of the stack).
Circular import check is added for `source` operations, in addition to
module import. A simple testcase is added for circular source.

# Description
Adds support for running plugins using local socket communication
instead of stdio. This will be an optional thing that not all plugins
have to support.
This frees up stdio for use to make plugins that use stdio to create
terminal UIs, cc @amtoine, @fdncred.
This uses the [`interprocess`](https://crates.io/crates/interprocess)
crate (298 stars, MIT license, actively maintained), which seems to be
the best option for cross-platform local socket support in Rust. On
Windows, a local socket name is provided. On Unixes, it's a path. The
socket name is kept to a relatively small size because some operating
systems have pretty strict limits on the whole path (~100 chars), so on
macOS for example we prefer `/tmp/nu.{pid}.{hash64}.sock` where the hash
includes the plugin filename and timestamp to be unique enough.
This also adds an API for moving plugins in and out of the foreground
group, which is relevant for Unixes where direct terminal control
depends on that.
TODO:
- [x] Generate local socket path according to OS conventions
- [x] Add support for passing `--local-socket` to the plugin executable
instead of `--stdio`, and communicating over that instead
- [x] Test plugins that were broken, including
[amtoine/nu_plugin_explore](https://github.com/amtoine/nu_plugin_explore)
- [x] Automatically upgrade to using local sockets when supported,
falling back if it doesn't work, transparently to the user without any
visible error messages
- Added protocol feature: `LocalSocket`
- [x] Reset preferred mode to `None` on `register`
- [x] Allow plugins to detect whether they're running on a local socket
and can use stdio freely, so that TUI plugins can just produce an error
message otherwise
- Implemented via `EngineInterface::is_using_stdio()`
- [x] Clean up foreground state when plugin command exits on the engine
side too, not just whole plugin
- [x] Make sure tests for failure cases work as intended
- `nu_plugin_stress_internals` added
# User-Facing Changes
- TUI plugins work
- Non-Rust plugins could optionally choose to use this
- This might behave differently, so will need to test it carefully
across different operating systems

# Description
This is an attempt to isolate the unit tests from whatever might be in
the user's config. If the
user's config is broken in some way or incompatible with this version
(for example, especially if
there are plugins that aren't built for this version), tests can
spuriously fail.
This makes tests more reliably pass the same way they would on CI even
if the user has config, and
should also make them run faster.
I think this is _good enough_, but I still think we should have a
specific config dir env variable for nushell specifically (rather than
having to use `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, which would mess with other things) and
then we can just have `nu-test-support` set that to a temporary dir
containing the shipped default config files.

# Description
I have `nu` set as my shell in my editor, which allows me to easily pipe
selections of text to things like `str pascal-case` or even more complex
string operation pipelines, which I find super handy. However, the only
annoying thing is that I pretty much always have to add `| print -n` at
the end, because `nu` adds a newline when it prints the resulting value.
This adds a `--no-newline` option to stop that from happening, and then
you don't need to pipe to `print -n` anymore, you can just have your
shell command for your editor contain that flag.

Some of the tests in `tests::shell` were using `sh` unnecessarily, and
had `#[cfg(not(windows))]` when they should be testable on Windows if
`sh` is not used.
I also found that they were using `.expect()` incorrectly, under the
assumption that that would check their output, when really an
`assert_eq!` on the output is needed to do that. So these tests weren't
even really working properly before.

Because the plugin interface reader thread can be responsible for
sending a drop notification, it's possible for it to end up in a
deadlock where it's waiting for the response to the drop notification
call.
I decided that the best way to address this is to just discard the
response and not wait for it. It's not really important to synchronize
with the response to `Dropped`, so this is probably faster anyway.

# Description
Fixes#12382, where overlay changes from hooks were not preserved into
the global state. This was due to creating child stacks for hooks, when
the global stack should have been used instead.
# Description
This keeps plugin custom values that have requested drop notification
around during the lifetime of a plugin call / stream by sending them to
a channel that gets persisted during the lifetime of the call.
Before this change, it was very likely that the drop notification would
be sent before the plugin ever had a chance to handle the value it
received.
Tests have been added to make sure this works - see the `custom_values`
plugin.

# User-Facing Changes
This is basically just a bugfix, just a slightly big one.
However, I did add an `as_mut_any()` function for custom values, to
avoid having to clone them. This is a breaking change.
# Description
This is something that was discussed in the core team meeting last
Wednesday. @ayax79 is building `nu-plugin-polars` with all of the
dataframe commands into a plugin, and there are a lot of them, so it
would help to make the API more similar. At the same time, I think the
`Command` API is just better anyway. I don't think the difference is
justified, and the types for core commands have the benefit of requiring
less `.into()` because they often don't own their data
- Broke `signature()` up into `name()`, `usage()`, `extra_usage()`,
`search_terms()`, `examples()`
- `signature()` returns `nu_protocol::Signature`
- `examples()` returns `Vec<nu_protocol::Example>`
- `PluginSignature` and `PluginExample` no longer need to be used by
plugin developers
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking API for plugins yet again 😄
# Description
Fixes: #11887Fixes: #11626
This pr unify the tilde expand behavior over several filesystem relative
commands. It follows the same rule with glob expansion:
| command | result |
| ----------- | ------ |
| ls ~/aaa | expand tilde
| ls "~/aaa" | don't expand tilde
| let f = "~/aaa"; ls $f | don't expand tilde, if you want to: use `ls
($f \| path expand)`
| let f: glob = "~/aaa"; ls $f | expand tilde, they don't expand on
`mkdir`, `touch` comamnd.
Actually I'm not sure for 4th item, currently it's expanding is just
because it followes the same rule with glob expansion.
### About the change
It changes `expand_path_with` to accept a new argument called
`expand_tilde`, if it's true, expand it, if not, just keep it as `~`
itself.

# Description
The hover was bugged with 3 backticks. I don't understand how it worked
before, but this apparently now works correctly on my machine. This is
really puzzling. My next step is to make a test to assert this will
break a little less. I fixed it 3 times in the past
# Tests + Formatting
Added a test to be sure this doesn't breaks again 😄 (at least from
nushell/nushell side)
Manual checks are added to `parse_let`, `parse_mut`, and `parse_const`.
`parse_var_with_opt_type` is also fixed to update `spans_idx` correctly.
Fixes#12125.
It's technically a fix, but I'd rather not merge this directly. I'm
making this PR to bring into attention the code quality of the parser
code. For example:
* Inconsistent usage of `spans_idx`. What is its purpose, and which
parsing functions need it? I suspect it's possible to remove the usage
of `spans_idx` entirely.
* Lacking documentation for top-level functions. What does `mutable`
mean for `parse_var_with_opt_type()`?
* Inconsistent error reporting. Usage of both `working_set.error()` and
`working_set.parse_errors.push()`. Using `ParseError::Expected` for an
invalid variable name when there's `ParseError::VariableNotValid` (from
`parser.rs:5237`). Checking variable names manually when there's
`is_variable()` (from `parser.rs:2905`).
* `span()` is a terrible name for a function that flattens a bunch of
spans into one (from `nu-protocal/src/span.rs:92`). The top-level
comment (`Used when you have a slice of spans of at least size 1`)
doesn't help either.
I've only looked at a small portion of the parser code; I expect there
are a lot more. These issues made it much harder to fix a simple bug
like #12125. I believe we should invest some effort to cleanup the
parser code, which will ease maintainance in the future. I'll willing to
help if there is interest.

# Description
@ayax79 says that the dataframe commands all have dataframe custom
values in their examples, and they're used for tests.
Rather than send the custom values to the engine, if they're in
examples, this change just renders them using `to_base_value()` first.
That way we avoid potentially having to hold onto custom values in
`plugins.nu` that might not be valid indefinitely - as will be the case
for dataframes in particular - but we still avoid forcing plugin writers
to not use custom values in their examples.

Adds the `AddEnvVar` plugin call, which allows plugins to set
environment variables in the caller's scope. This is the first engine
call that mutates the caller's stack, and opens the door to more
operations like this if needed.
This also comes with an extra benefit: in doing this, I needed to
refactor how context was handled, and I was able to avoid cloning
`EngineInterface` / `Stack` / `Call` in most cases that plugin calls are
used. They now only need to be cloned if the plugin call returns a
stream. The performance increase is welcome (5.5x faster on `inc`!):

# Description
This is a significant breaking change to the plugin API, but one I think
is worthwhile. @ayax79 mentioned on Discord that while trying to start
on a dataframes plugin, he was a little disappointed that more wasn't
provided in terms of code organization for commands, particularly since
there are *a lot* of `dfr` commands.
This change treats plugins more like miniatures of the engine, with
dispatch of the command name being handled inherently, each command
being its own type, and each having their own signature within the trait
impl for the command type rather than having to find a way to centralize
it all into one `Vec`.
For the example plugins that have multiple commands, I definitely like
how this looks a lot better. This encourages doing code organization the
right way and feels very good.
For the plugins that have only one command, it's just a little bit more
boilerplate - but still worth it, in my opinion.
The `Box<dyn PluginCommand<Plugin = Self>>` type in `commands()` is a
little bit hairy, particularly for Rust beginners, but ultimately not so
bad, and it gives the desired flexibility for shared state for a whole
plugin + the individual commands.
# User-Facing Changes
Pretty big breaking change to plugin API, but probably one that's worth
making.
```rust
use nu_plugin::*;
use nu_protocol::{PluginSignature, PipelineData, Type, Value};
struct LowercasePlugin;
struct Lowercase;
// Plugins can now have multiple commands
impl PluginCommand for Lowercase {
type Plugin = LowercasePlugin;
// The signature lives with the command
fn signature(&self) -> PluginSignature {
PluginSignature::build("lowercase")
.usage("Convert each string in a stream to lowercase")
.input_output_type(Type::List(Type::String.into()), Type::List(Type::String.into()))
}
// We also provide SimplePluginCommand which operates on Value like before
fn run(
&self,
plugin: &LowercasePlugin,
engine: &EngineInterface,
call: &EvaluatedCall,
input: PipelineData,
) -> Result<PipelineData, LabeledError> {
let span = call.head;
Ok(input.map(move |value| {
value.as_str()
.map(|string| Value::string(string.to_lowercase(), span))
// Errors in a stream should be returned as values.
.unwrap_or_else(|err| Value::error(err, span))
}, None)?)
}
}
// Plugin now just has a list of commands, and the custom value op stuff still goes here
impl Plugin for LowercasePlugin {
fn commands(&self) -> Vec<Box<dyn PluginCommand<Plugin=Self>>> {
vec![Box::new(Lowercase)]
}
}
fn main() {
serve_plugin(&LowercasePlugin{}, MsgPackSerializer)
}
```
Time this however you like - we're already breaking stuff for 0.92, so
it might be good to do it now, but if it feels like a lot all at once,
it could wait.

# Description
The PR overhauls how IO redirection is handled, allowing more explicit
and fine-grain control over `stdout` and `stderr` output as well as more
efficient IO and piping.
To summarize the changes in this PR:
- Added a new `IoStream` type to indicate the intended destination for a
pipeline element's `stdout` and `stderr`.
- The `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are stored in the `Stack` and to
avoid adding 6 additional arguments to every eval function and
`Command::run`. The `stdout` and `stderr` streams can be temporarily
overwritten through functions on `Stack` and these functions will return
a guard that restores the original `stdout` and `stderr` when dropped.
- In the AST, redirections are now directly part of a `PipelineElement`
as a `Option<Redirection>` field instead of having multiple different
`PipelineElement` enum variants for each kind of redirection. This
required changes to the parser, mainly in `lite_parser.rs`.
- `Command`s can also set a `IoStream` override/redirection which will
apply to the previous command in the pipeline. This is used, for
example, in `ignore` to allow the previous external command to have its
stdout redirected to `Stdio::null()` at spawn time. In contrast, the
current implementation has to create an os pipe and manually consume the
output on nushell's side. File and pipe redirections (`o>`, `e>`, `e>|`,
etc.) have precedence over overrides from commands.
This PR improves piping and IO speed, partially addressing #10763. Using
the `throughput` command from that issue, this PR gives the following
speedup on my setup for the commands below:
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| --------------------------- | -------------:| ------------:|
-----------:|
| `throughput o> /dev/null` | 1169 | 52938 | 54305 |
| `throughput \| ignore` | 840 | 55438 | N/A |
| `throughput \| null` | Error | 53617 | N/A |
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 1165 | 3049 | 3736 |
| `(throughput) \| rg 'x'` | 810 | 3085 | 3815 |
(Numbers above are the median samples for throughput)
This PR also paves the way to refactor our `ExternalStream` handling in
the various commands. For example, this PR already fixes the following
code:
```nushell
^sh -c 'echo -n "hello "; sleep 0; echo "world"' | find "hello world"
```
This returns an empty list on 0.90.1 and returns a highlighted "hello
world" on this PR.
Since the `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are available to commands
when they are run, then this unlocks the potential for more convenient
behavior. E.g., the `find` command can disable its ansi highlighting if
it detects that the output `IoStream` is not the terminal. Knowing the
output streams will also allow background job output to be redirected
more easily and efficiently.
# User-Facing Changes
- External commands returned from closures will be collected (in most
cases):
```nushell
1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print a" }
```
This gives `["a", "a"]` on this PR, whereas this used to print "a\na\n"
and then return an empty list.
```nushell
1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print -e a" }
```
This gives `["", ""]` and prints "a\na\n" to stderr, whereas this used
to return an empty list and print "a\na\n" to stderr.
- Trailing new lines are always trimmed for external commands when
piping into internal commands or collecting it as a value. (Failure to
decode the output as utf-8 will keep the trailing newline for the last
binary value.) In the current nushell version, the following three code
snippets differ only in parenthesis placement, but they all also have
different outputs:
1. `1..2 | each { ^echo a }`
```
a
a
╭────────────╮
│ empty list │
╰────────────╯
```
2. `1..2 | each { (^echo a) }`
```
╭───┬───╮
│ 0 │ a │
│ 1 │ a │
╰───┴───╯
```
3. `1..2 | (each { ^echo a })`
```
╭───┬───╮
│ 0 │ a │
│ │ │
│ 1 │ a │
│ │ │
╰───┴───╯
```
But in this PR, the above snippets will all have the same output:
```
╭───┬───╮
│ 0 │ a │
│ 1 │ a │
╰───┴───╯
```
- All existing flags on `run-external` are now deprecated.
- File redirections now apply to all commands inside a code block:
```nushell
(nu -c "print -e a"; nu -c "print -e b") e> test.out
```
This gives "a\nb\n" in `test.out` and prints nothing. The same result
would happen when printing to stdout and using a `o>` file redirection.
- External command output will (almost) never be ignored, and ignoring
output must be explicit now:
```nushell
(^echo a; ^echo b)
```
This prints "a\nb\n", whereas this used to print only "b\n". This only
applies to external commands; values and internal commands not in return
position will not print anything (e.g., `(echo a; echo b)` still only
prints "b").
- `complete` now always captures stderr (`do` is not necessary).
# After Submitting
The language guide and other documentation will need to be updated.
# Description
`rmp_serde` has two kinds of errors that contain I/O errors, and an EOF
can occur inside either of them, but we were only treating an EOF inside
an `InvalidMarkerRead` as an EOF, which would make sense for the
beginning of a message.
However, we should also treat an incomplete message + EOF as an EOF.
There isn't really any point in reporting that an EOF was received
mid-message.
This should fix the issue where the
`seq_describe_no_collect_succeeds_without_error` test would sometimes
fail, as doing a `describe --no-collect` followed by nushell exiting
could (but was not guaranteed to) cause this exact scenario.

# Description
There were two problems in `PersistentPlugin` which could cause a
deadlock:
1. There were two mutexes being used, and `get()` could potentially hold
both simultaneously if it had to spawn. This won't necessarily cause a
deadlock on its own, but it does mean that lock order is sensitive
2. `set_gc_config()` called `flush()` while still holding the lock,
meaning that the GC thread had to proceed before the lock was released.
However, waiting for the GC thread to proceed could mean waiting for the
GC thread to call `stop()`, which itself would try to lock the mutex.
So, it's not safe to wait for the GC thread while the lock is held. This
is fixed now.
I've also reverted #12177, as @IanManske reported that this was also
happening for him on Linux, and it seems to be this problem which should
not be platform-specific at all. I believe this solves it.

# User-Facing Changes
I haven't heard any feedback so far that the plugin GC doesn't actually
work on macOS, so hopefully it's not a big problem, but we won't know
until I'm able to track down the problem.

# Description
This adds three engine calls: `GetEnvVar`, `GetEnvVars`, for getting
environment variables from the plugin command context, and
`GetCurrentDir` for getting the current working directory.
Plugins are now launched in the directory of their executable to try to
make improper use of the current directory without first setting it more
obvious. Plugins previously launched in whatever the current directory
of the engine was at the time the plugin command was run, but switching
to persistent plugins broke this, because they stay in whatever
directory they launched in initially.
This also fixes the `gstat` plugin to use `get_current_dir()` to
determine its repo location, which was directly affected by this
problem.
# User-Facing Changes
- Adds new engine calls (`GetEnvVar`, `GetEnvVars`, `GetCurrentDir`)
- Runs plugins in a different directory from before, in order to catch
bugs
- Plugins will have to use the new engine calls if they do filesystem
stuff to work properly

# Description
Adds support for the following operations on plugin custom values, in
addition to `to_base_value` which was already present:
- `follow_path_int()`
- `follow_path_string()`
- `partial_cmp()`
- `operation()`
- `Drop` (notification, if opted into with
`CustomValue::notify_plugin_on_drop`)
There are additionally customizable methods within the `Plugin` and
`StreamingPlugin` traits for implementing these functions in a way that
requires access to the plugin state, as a registered handle model such
as might be used in a dataframes plugin would.
`Value::append` was also changed to handle custom values correctly.
# User-Facing Changes
- Signature of `CustomValue::follow_path_string` and
`CustomValue::follow_path_int` changed to give access to the span of the
custom value itself, useful for some errors.
- Plugins using custom values have to be recompiled because the engine
will try to do custom value operations that aren't supported
- Plugins can do more things 🎉

# Description
This makes the test a bit more complicated, but implements a timeout
loop in the script. As long as the test completes in 5 seconds it's
considered to be ok. The default is 10 seconds, so that would still be
half that.
This should help with running on the busy CI where things sometimes take
a while. Unfortunately this is a timing sensitive test. The alternative
is basically to just not test this at all because it's too difficult to
guarantee that it will complete in time. If we continue to have issues,
I might just have to take that route instead.

# Description
The intended effect of the `extra` feature has been undermined by
introducing the full builds on our release pages and having more
activity on some of the extra commands.
To simplify the feature matrix let's get rid of it and focus our effort
on truly either refining a command to well-specified behavior or
discarding it entirely from the `nu` binary and moving it into plugins.
## Details
- Remove `--features extra` from CI
- Don't explicitly name `extra` in full build wf
- Remove feature extra from build-help scripts
- Update README in `nu-cmd-extra`
- Remove feature `extra`
- Fix previously dead `format pattern` tests
- Relax signature of `to html`
- Fix/ignore `html::test_no_color_flag`
- Remove dead features from `version`
- Refine `to html` type signature
# User-Facing Changes
The commands that were previously only available when building with
`--features extra` will now be available to everyone. This increases the
number of dependencies slightly but has a limited impact on the overall
binary size.
# Tests + Formatting
Some tests that were left in `nu-command` during cratification were dead
because the feature was not passed to `nu-command` and only to
`nu-cmd-lang` for feature-flag mention in `version`.
Those tests have now been either fixed or ignored in one case.
# After Submitting
There may be places in the documentation where we point to `--features
extra` that will now be moot (apart from the generated command help)
# 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

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.

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.

It looks like `Playground` and `Director` in nu-tests-support haven't
gotten much love recently, so this PR is for updating them to work with
newer Nushell versions.
- `Director` adds a `--skip-plugins` argument before running `nu`, but
that doesn't exist anymore, so I removed it.
- `Director` also adds a `--perf` argument, which also doesn't exist
anymore. I added `--log-level info` instead to get the performance
output.
- It doesn't seem like anyone was using `playground::matchers`, and it
used the [hamcrest2](https://github.com/Valloric/hamcrest2-rust) crate,
which appears to be unmaintained, so I got rid of that (and the
`hamcrest2` dependency).
- Inside `tests/fixtures/playground/config` were two files in the old
config format: `default.toml` and `startup.toml`. I removed those too.

Currently, in the test for interpolating strings at parse-time, the

came from https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/11562). I didn't
realize when I was writing it that it would have to be updated every
year. This PR uses regex to check the output instead.

# Description
As title, currently on latest main, nushell confused user if it allows
implicit casting between glob and string:
```nushell
let x = "*.txt"
def glob-test [g: glob] { open $g }
glob-test $x
```
It always expand the glob although `$x` is defined as a string.
This pr implements a solution from @kubouch :
> We could make it really strict and disallow all autocasting between
globs and strings because that's what's causing the "magic" confusion.
Then, modify all builtins that accept globs to accept oneof(glob,
string) and the rules would be that globs always expand and strings
never expand
# User-Facing Changes
After this pr, user needs to use `into glob` to invoke `glob-test`, if
user pass a string variable:
```nushell
let x = "*.txt"
def glob-test [g: glob] { open $g }
glob-test ($x | into glob)
```
Or else nushell will return an error.

# Description
Attempting to complete a directory with hidden files could cause a
variety of issues. When Rust parses the partial path to be completed
into components, it removes the trailing `.` since it interprets this to
mean "the current directory", but in the case of the completer we
actually want to treat the trailling `.` as a literal `.`. This PR fixes
this by adding a `.` back into the Path components if the last character
of the path is a `.` AND the path is longer than 1 character (eg., not
just a ".", since that correctly gets interpreted as Component::CurDir).
Here are some things this fixes:
- Panic when tab completing for hidden files in a directory with hidden
files (ex. `ls test/.`)
- Panic when tab completing a directory with only hidden files (since
the common prefix ends with a `.`, causing the previous issue)
- Mishandling of tab completing hidden files in directory (ex. `ls
~/.<TAB>` lists all files instead of just hidden files)
- Trailing `.` being inexplicably removed when tab completing a
directory without hidden files
While testing for this PR I also noticed there is a similar issue when
completing with `..` (ex. `ls ~/test/..<TAB>`) which is not fixed by
this PR (edit: see #11922).

This pr introduces the following syntax:
1. `e>|`, pipe stderr to next command. Example: `$env.FOO=bar nu
--testbin echo_env_stderr FOO e>| str length`
2. `o+e>|` and `e+o>|`, pipe both stdout and stderr to next command,
example: `$env.FOO=bar nu --testbin echo_env_mixed out-err FOO FOO e+o>|
str length`
Note: it only works for external commands. ~There is no different for
internal commands, that is, the following three commands do the same
things:~ Edit: it raises errors if we want to pipes for internal
commands
```
❯ ls e>| str length
Error: × `e>|` only works with external streams

This can help us to avoid some strange issues like the following:
