# Description
Closes#15848. Currently, we expand unquoted strings to absolute paths
if they are of type `path` or `directory`. This PR makes this no longer
happen. `~`, `.`, and `..+` are still expanded, but a path like
`.../foo/bar/..` will only be turned into `../../foo`, rather than a
full absolute path.
This is mostly so that paths don't get modified before being sent to
known external commands (as in the linked issue). But also, it seems
unnecessary to make all unquoted paths absolute.
After feedback from @132ikl, this PR also makes it so that unquoted
paths are expanded at parse time, so that it matches the runtime
behavior. Previously, `path` expressions were turned into strings
verbatim, while `directory` expressions were treated as not being const.
API change: `nu_path::expansions::expand_path` is now exposed as
`nu_path::expand_path`.
# User-Facing Changes
This has the potential to silently break a lot of scripts. For example,
if someone has a command that expects an already-expanded absolute path,
changes the current working directory, and then passes the path
somewhere, they will now need to use `path expand` to expand the path
themselves before changing the current working directory.
# Tests + Formatting
Just added one test to make sure unquoted `path` arguments aren't made
absolute.
# After Submitting
This is a breaking change, so will need to be mentioned in the release
notes.
Closes#13654
# User-Facing Changes
- Short flags are now fully type-checked,
including null and record signatures for literal arguments:
```nushell
def test [-v: record<l: int>] {};
test -v null # error
test -v {l: ""} # error
def test2 [-v: int] {};
let v = ""
test2 -v $v # error
```
- `polars unpivot` `--index`/`--on` and `into value --columns`
now accept `list` values

# 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`.
# Tests + Formatting
Tests added for the new behaviour. Some old tests had to be corrected to
match.
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`
# After Submitting
- [ ] release notes (bugfix, and debatable whether it's a breaking
change)
# Description
Fixes: #12691
In `parse_short_flag`, it only checks special cases for
`SyntaxShape::Int`, `SyntaxShape::Number` to allow a flag to be a
number. This pr adds `SyntaxShape::Float` to allow a flag to be float
number.
# User-Facing Changes
This is possible after this pr:
```nushell
def spam [val: float] { $val };
spam -1.4
```
# Tests + Formatting
Added 1 test
