# Description
Pre-cratification of `nu-command` we added tests that covered the whole
command set to ensure consistent documentation style choices and that
the search terms which are added are not uselessly redundant. These
tests are now moved into the suite of the main binary to truly cover all
commands.
- **Move parser quickcheck "fuzz" to `nu-cmd-lang`**
- **Factor out creation of full engine state for tests**
- **Move all-command tests to main context creation**
- **Fix all descriptions**
- **Fix search term duplicate**
# User-Facing Changes
As a result I had to fix a few command argument descriptions. (Doesn't
mean I fully stand behind this choice, but) positionals
(rest/required/optional) and top level descriptions should start with a
capital letter and end with a period. This is not enforced for flags.
# Tests + Formatting
Furthermore I moved our poor-peoples-fuzzer that runs in CI with
`quicktest` over the parser to `nu-cmd-lang` reducing its command set to
just the keywords (similar to
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/15036). Thus this should also
run slightly faster (maybe a slight parallel build cost due to earlier
dependency on quicktest)

As mentioned in #10698, we have too many `ShellError` variants, with
some even overlapping in meaning. This PR simplifies and improves I/O
error handling by restructuring `ShellError` related to I/O issues.
Previously, `ShellError::IOError` only contained a message string,
making it convenient but overly generic. It was widely used without
providing spans (#4323).
This PR introduces a new `ShellError::Io` variant that consolidates
multiple I/O-related errors (except for `ShellError::NetworkFailure`,
which remains distinct for now). The new `ShellError::Io` variant
replaces the following:
- `FileNotFound`
- `FileNotFoundCustom`
- `IOInterrupted`
- `IOError`
- `IOErrorSpanned`
- `NotADirectory`
- `DirectoryNotFound`
- `MoveNotPossible`
- `CreateNotPossible`
- `ChangeAccessTimeNotPossible`
- `ChangeModifiedTimeNotPossible`
- `RemoveNotPossible`
- `ReadingFile`
## The `IoError`
`IoError` includes the following fields:
1. **`kind`**: Extends `std::io::ErrorKind` to specify the type of I/O
error without needing new `ShellError` variants. This aligns with the
approach used in `std::io::Error`. This adds a second dimension to error
reporting by combining the `kind` field with `ShellError` variants,
making it easier to describe errors in more detail. As proposed by
@kubouch in [#design-discussion on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/615329862395101194/1323699197165178930),
this helps reduce the number of `ShellError` variants. In the error
report, the `kind` field is displayed as the "source" of the error,
e.g., "I/O error," followed by the specific kind of I/O error.
2. **`span`**: A non-optional field to encourage providing spans for
better error reporting (#4323).
3. **`path`**: Optional `PathBuf` to give context about the file or
directory involved in the error (#7695). If provided, it’s shown as a
help entry in error reports.
4. **`additional_context`**: Allows adding custom messages when the
span, kind, and path are insufficient. This is rendered in the error
report at the labeled span.
5. **`location`**: Sometimes, I/O errors occur in the engine itself and
are not caused directly by user input. In such cases, if we don’t have a
span and must set it to `Span::unknown()`, we need another way to
reference the error. For this, the `location` field uses the new
`Location` struct, which records the Rust file and line number where the
error occurred. This ensures that we at least know the Rust code
location that failed, helping with debugging. To make this work, a new
`location!` macro was added, which retrieves `file!`, `line!`, and
`column!` values accurately. If `Location::new` is used directly, it
issues a warning to remind developers to use the macro instead, ensuring
consistent and correct usage.
### Constructor Behavior
`IoError` provides five constructor methods:
- `new` and `new_with_additional_context`: Used for errors caused by
user input and require a valid (non-unknown) span to ensure precise
error reporting.
- `new_internal` and `new_internal_with_path`: Used for internal errors
where a span is not available. These methods require additional context
and the `Location` struct to pinpoint the source of the error in the
engine code.
- `factory`: Returns a closure that maps an `std::io::Error` to an
`IoError`. This is useful for handling multiple I/O errors that share
the same span and path, streamlining error handling in such cases.
## New Report Look
This is simulation how the I/O errors look like (the `open crates` is
simulated to show how internal errors are referenced now):

## `Span::test_data()`
To enable better testing, `Span::test_data()` now returns a value
distinct from `Span::unknown()`. Both `Span::test_data()` and
`Span::unknown()` refer to invalid source code, but having a separate
value for test data helps identify issues during testing while keeping
spans unique.
## Cursed Sneaky Error Transfers
I removed the conversions between `std::io::Error` and `ShellError` as
they often removed important information and were used too broadly to
handle I/O errors. This also removed the problematic implementation
found here:
7ea4895513/crates/nu-protocol/src/errors/shell_error.rs (L1534-L1583)
which hid some downcasting from I/O errors and made it hard to trace
where `ShellError` was converted into `std::io::Error`. To address this,
I introduced a new struct called `ShellErrorBridge`, which explicitly
defines this transfer behavior. With `ShellErrorBridge`, we can now
easily grep the codebase to locate and manage such conversions.
## Miscellaneous
- Removed the OS error added in #14640, as it’s no longer needed.
- Improved error messages in `glob_from` (#14679).
- Trying to open a directory with `open` caused a permissions denied
error (it's just what the OS provides). I added a `is_dir` check to
provide a better error in that case.
# User-Facing Changes

likely because it was trying to collect the input stream and would not
complete.

This PR adds type checking of all command input types at run-time.
Generally, these errors should be caught by the parser, but sometimes we
can't know the type of a value at parse-time. The simplest example is
using the `echo` command, which has an output type of `any`, so
prefixing a literal with `echo` will bypass parse-time type checking.
Before this PR, each command has to individually check its input types.
This can result in scenarios where the input/output types don't match
the actual command behavior. This can cause valid usage with an
non-`any` type to become a parse-time error if a command is missing that
type in its pipeline input/output (`drop nth` and `history import` do
this before this PR). Alternatively, a command may not list a type in
its input/output types, but doesn't actually reject that type in its
code, which can have unintended side effects (`get` does this on an
empty pipeline input, and `sort` used to before #13154).
After this PR, the type of the pipeline input is checked to ensure it
matches one of the input types listed in the proceeding command's
input/output types. While each of the issues in the "before this PR"
section could be addressed with each command individually, this PR
solves this issue for _all_ commands.
**This will likely cause some breakage**, as some commands have
incorrect input/output types, and should be adjusted. Also, some scripts
may have erroneous usage of commands. In writing this PR, I discovered
that `toolkit.nu` was passing `null` values to `str join`, which doesn't
accept nothing types (if folks think it should, we can adjust it in this
PR or in a different PR). I found some issues in the standard library
and its tests. I also found that carapace's vendor script had an
incorrect chaining of `get -i`:
```nushell
let expanded_alias = (scope aliases | where name == $spans.0 | get -i 0 | get -i expansion)
```
Before this PR, if the `get -i 0` ever actually did evaluate to `null`,
the second `get` invocation would error since `get` doesn't operate on
`null` values. After this PR, this is immediately a run-time error,
alerting the user to the problematic code. As a side note, we'll need to
PR this fix (`get -i 0 | get -i expansion` -> `get -i 0.expansion`) to
carapace.
A notable exception to the type checking is commands with input type of
`nothing -> <type>`. In this case, any input type is allowed. This
allows piping values into the command without an error being thrown. For
example, `123 | echo $in` would be an error without this exception.
Additionally, custom types bypass type checking (I believe this also
happens during parsing, but not certain)
I added a `is_subtype` method to `Value` and `PipelineData`. It
functions slightly differently than `get_type().is_subtype()`, as noted
in the doccomments. Notably, it respects structural typing of lists and
tables. For example, the type of a value `[{a: 123} {a: 456, b: 789}]`
is a subtype of `table<a: int>`, whereas the type returned by
`Value::get_type` is a `list<any>`. Similarly, `PipelineData` has some
special handling for `ListStream`s and `ByteStream`s. The latter was
needed for this PR to work properly with external commands.
Here's some examples.
Before:
```nu
1..2 | drop nth 1
Error: nu::parser::input_type_mismatch
× Command does not support range input.
╭─[entry #9:1:8]
1 │ 1..2 | drop nth 1
· ────┬───
· ╰── command doesn't support range input
╰────
echo 1..2 | drop nth 1
# => ╭───┬───╮
# => │ 0 │ 1 │
# => ╰───┴───╯
```
After this PR, I've adjusted `drop nth`'s input/output types to accept
range input.
Before this PR, zip accepted any value despite not being listed in its
input/output types. This caused different behavior depending on if you
triggered a parse error or not:
```nushell
1 | zip [2]
# => Error: nu::parser::input_type_mismatch
# =>
# => × Command does not support int input.
# => ╭─[entry #3:1:5]
# => 1 │ 1 | zip [2]
# => · ─┬─
# => · ╰── command doesn't support int input
# => ╰────
echo 1 | zip [2]
# => ╭───┬───────────╮
# => │ 0 │ ╭───┬───╮ │
# => │ │ │ 0 │ 1 │ │
# => │ │ │ 1 │ 2 │ │
# => │ │ ╰───┴───╯ │
# => ╰───┴───────────╯
```
After this PR, it works the same in both cases. For cases like this, if
we do decide we want `zip` or other commands to accept any input value,
then we should explicitly add that to the input types.
```nushell
1 | zip [2]
# => Error: nu::parser::input_type_mismatch
# =>
# => × Command does not support int input.
# => ╭─[entry #3:1:5]
# => 1 │ 1 | zip [2]
# => · ─┬─
# => · ╰── command doesn't support int input
# => ╰────
echo 1 | zip [2]
# => Error: nu:🐚:only_supports_this_input_type
# =>
# => × Input type not supported.
# => ╭─[entry #14:2:6]
# => 2 │ echo 1 | zip [2]
# => · ┬ ─┬─
# => · │ ╰── only list<any> and range input data is supported
# => · ╰── input type: int
# => ╰────
```
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
**Breaking change**: The type of a command's input is now checked
against the input/output types of that command at run-time. While these
errors should mostly be caught at parse-time, in cases where they can't
be detected at parse-time they will be caught at run-time instead. This
applies to both internal commands and custom commands.
Example function and corresponding parse-time error (same before and
after PR):
```nushell
def foo []: int -> nothing {
print $"my cool int is ($in)"
}
1 | foo
# => my cool int is 1
"evil string" | foo
# => Error: nu::parser::input_type_mismatch
# =>
# => × Command does not support string input.
# => ╭─[entry #16:1:17]
# => 1 │ "evil string" | foo
# => · ─┬─
# => · ╰── command doesn't support string input
# => ╰────
# =>
```
Before:
```nu
echo "evil string" | foo
# => my cool int is evil string
```
After:
```nu
echo "evil string" | foo
# => Error: nu:🐚:only_supports_this_input_type
# =>
# => × Input type not supported.
# => ╭─[entry #17:1:6]
# => 1 │ echo "evil string" | foo
# => · ──────┬────── ─┬─
# => · │ ╰── only int input data is supported
# => · ╰── input type: string
# => ╰────
```
Known affected internal commands which erroneously accepted any type:
* `str join`
* `zip`
* `reduce`

# Description
`into bits` is a bad name because it is not a traditional type cast to a
`bits` type like all the other `into` commands.
Instead it is a pretty printer generating `string` type output. Thus the
correct bucket is `format` and its subcommands.
# User-Facing Changes
`into bits` will raise a `DeprecatedWarning` suggesting the move to
`format bits`
`into bits` can be removed in `0.103.0`
# Tests + Formatting

# Description
A lot of filter commands that have a closure argument (`each`, `filter`,
etc), have a wrong signature for the closure, indicating an extra int
argument for the closure.
I think they are a left over from before `enumerate` was added, used to
access iteration index. None of the commands changed in this PR actually
supply this int argument.

In this PR I exposed the struct `ToHtml` that comes from `nu-cmd-extra`.
I know this command isn't in a best state and should be changed in some
way in the future but having the struct exposed makes transforming data
to html way more simple for external tools as the `PipelineData` can
easily be placed in the `ToHtml::run` method.

# Description
Adds a new `Filesize` type so that `FromValue` can be used to convert a
`Value::Filesize` to a `Filesize`. Currently, to extract a filesize from
a `Value` using `FromValue`, you have to extract an `i64` which coerces
`Value::Int`, `Value::Duration`, and `Value::Filesize` to an `i64`.
Having a separate type also allows us to enforce checked math to catch
overflows. Similarly, it allows us to specify other trait
implementations like `Display` in a common place.
# User-Facing Changes
Multiplication with filesizes now error on overflow. Should not be a
breaking change for plugins (i.e., serialization) since `Filesize` is
marked with `serde(transparent)`.
# Tests + Formatting
Updated some tests.

## Description
Reworks the `decode`/`encode` commands by adding/changing the following
bases:
- `base32`
- `base32hex`
- `hex`
- `new-base64`
The `hex` base is compatible with the previous version of `hex` out of
the box (it only adds more flags). `base64` isn't, so the PR adds a new
version and deprecates the old one.
All commands have `string -> binary` signature for decoding and `string
| binary -> string` signature for encoding. A few `base64` encodings,
which are not a part of the
[RFC4648](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4648#section-6), have
been dropped.
## Example usage
```Nushell
~/fork/nushell> "string" | encode base32 | decode base32 | decode
string
```
```Nushell
~/fork/nushell> "ORSXG5A=" | decode base32
# `decode` always returns a binary value
Length: 4 (0x4) bytes | printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii
00000000: 74 65 73 74 test
```
## User-Facing Changes
- New commands: `encode/decode base32/base32hex`.
- `encode hex` gets a `--lower` flag.
- `encode/decode base64` deprecated in favor of `encode/decode
new-base64`.

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
Added testing for all relevant cases

Add `README.md` files to each crate in our workspace (-plugins) and also
include it in the `lib.rs` documentation for <docs.rs> (if there is no
existing `lib.rs` crate documentation)
In all new README I added the defensive comment that the crates are not
considered stable for public consumption. If necessary we can adjust
this if we deem a crate useful for plugin authors.
# Description
Allows `Stack` to have a modified local `Config`, which is updated
immediately when `$env.config` is assigned to. This means that even
within a script, commands that come after `$env.config` changes will
always see those changes in `Stack::get_config()`.
Also fixed a lot of cases where `engine_state.get_config()` was used
even when `Stack` was available.
Closes#13324.
# User-Facing Changes
- Config changes apply immediately after the assignment is executed,
rather than whenever config is read by a command that needs it.
- Potentially slower performance when executing a lot of lines that
change `$env.config` one after another. Recommended to get `$env.config`
into a `mut` variable first and do modifications, then assign it back.
- Much faster performance when executing a script that made
modifications to `$env.config`, as the changes are only parsed once.

All passing.

# Description
This PR introduces a new `Signals` struct to replace our adhoc passing
around of `ctrlc: Option<Arc<AtomicBool>>`. Doing so has a few benefits:
- We can better enforce when/where resetting or triggering an interrupt
is allowed.
- Consolidates `nu_utils::ctrl_c::was_pressed` and other ad-hoc
re-implementations into a single place: `Signals::check`.
- This allows us to add other types of signals later if we want. E.g.,
exiting or suspension.
- Similarly, we can more easily change the underlying implementation if
we need to in the future.
- Places that used to have a `ctrlc` of `None` now use
`Signals::empty()`, so we can double check these usages for correctness
in the future.
# Description
Fix `into bits` to have consistent behavior when passed a byte stream.
# User-Facing Changes
Previously, it was returning a binary on stream, even though its
input/output types don't describe this possibility. We don't need this
since we have `into binary` anyway.

# Description
Provides the ability to use http commands as part of a pipeline.
Additionally, this pull requests extends the pipeline metadata to add a
content_type field. The content_type metadata field allows commands such
as `to json` to set the metadata in the pipeline allowing the http
commands to use it when making requests.
This pull request also introduces the ability to directly stream http
requests from streaming pipelines.
One other small change is that Content-Type will always be set if it is
passed in to the http commands, either indirectly or throw the content
type flag. Previously it was not preserved with requests that were not
of type json or form data.
# User-Facing Changes
* `http post`, `http put`, `http patch`, `http delete` can be used as
part of a pipeline
* `to text`, `to json`, `from json` all set the content_type metadata
field and the http commands will utilize them when making requests.

Part of https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/12963, step 2.
This PR refactors changes the use of `expression.span` to
`expression.span_id` via a new helper `Expression::span()`. A new
`GetSpan` is added to abstract getting the span from both `EngineState`
and `StateWorkingSet`.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
`format pattern` loses the ability to use variables in the pattern,
e.g., `... | format pattern 'value of {$it.name} is {$it.value}'`. This
is because the command did a custom parse-eval cycle, creating spans
that are not merged into the main engine state. We could clone the
engine state, add Clone trait to StateDelta and merge the cloned delta
to the cloned state, but IMO there is not much value from having this
ability, since we have string interpolation nowadays: `... | $"value of
($in.name) is ($in.value)"`.

# Description
Changes `get_full_help` to take a `&dyn Command` instead of multiple
arguments (`&Signature`, `&Examples` `is_parser_keyword`). All of these
arguments can be gathered from a `Command`, so there is no need to pass
the pieces to `get_full_help`.
This PR also fixes an issue where the search terms are not shown if
`--help` is used on a command.
# Description
Kind of a vague title, but this PR does two main things:
1. Rather than overriding functions like `Command::is_parser_keyword`,
this PR instead changes commands to override `Command::command_type`.
The `CommandType` returned by `Command::command_type` is then used to
automatically determine whether `Command::is_parser_keyword` and the
other `is_{type}` functions should return true. These changes allow us
to remove the `CommandType::Other` case and should also guarantee than
only one of the `is_{type}` functions on `Command` will return true.
2. Uses the new, reworked `Command::command_type` function in the `scope
commands` and `which` commands.
# User-Facing Changes
- Breaking change for `scope commands`: multiple columns (`is_builtin`,
`is_keyword`, `is_plugin`, etc.) have been merged into the `type`
column.
- Breaking change: the `which` command can now report `plugin` or
`keyword` instead of `built-in` in the `type` column. It may also now
report `external` instead of `custom` in the `type` column for known
`extern`s.
# 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.

# Description
So minor, but had to be fixed sometime. `help each while` used the term
"block" in the "usage", but the argument type is a closure.
# User-Facing Changes
help-only
# Description
Does some misc changes to `ListStream`:
- Moves it into its own module/file separate from `RawStream`.
- `ListStream`s now have an associated `Span`.
- This required changes to `ListStreamInfo` in `nu-plugin`. Note sure if
this is a breaking change for the plugin protocol.
- Hides the internals of `ListStream` but also adds a few more methods.
- This includes two functions to more easily alter a stream (these take
a `ListStream` and return a `ListStream` instead of having to go through
the whole `into_pipeline_data(..)` route).
- `map`: takes a `FnMut(Value) -> Value`
- `modify`: takes a function to modify the inner stream.
# Description
One example for `into bits` says it uses binary value when it actually
uses a filesize. This lead to issue #11412, but I never got around to
fixing the example until this PR.
# Description
Continuing from #12568, this PR further reduces the size of `Expr` from
64 to 40 bytes. It also reduces `Expression` from 128 to 96 bytes and
`Type` from 32 to 24 bytes.
This was accomplished by:
- for `Expr` with multiple fields (e.g., `Expr::Thing(A, B, C)`),
merging the fields into new AST struct types and then boxing this struct
(e.g. `Expr::Thing(Box<ABC>)`).
- replacing `Vec<T>` with `Box<[T]>` in multiple places. `Expr`s and
`Expression`s should rarely be mutated, if at all, so this optimization
makes sense.
By reducing the size of these types, I didn't notice a large performance
improvement (at least compared to #12568). But this PR does reduce the
memory usage of nushell. My config is somewhat light so I only noticed a
difference of 1.4MiB (38.9MiB vs 37.5MiB).

# Description
Adds two new types in `nu-engine` for evaluating closures: `ClosureEval`
and `ClosureEvalOnce`. This removed some duplicate code and centralizes
our logic for setting up, running, and cleaning up closures. For
example, in the future if we are able to reduce the cloning necessary to
run a closure, then we only have to change the code related to these
types.
`ClosureEval` and `ClosureEvalOnce` are designed with a builder API.
`ClosureEval` is used to run a closure multiple times whereas
`ClosureEvalOnce` is used for a one-shot closure.
# User-Facing Changes
Should be none, unless I messed up one of the command migrations.
Actually, this will fix any unreported environment bugs for commands
that didn't reset the env after running a closure.
# Description
This adds a `SharedCow` type as a transparent copy-on-write pointer that
clones to unique on mutate.
As an initial test, the `Record` within `Value::Record` is shared.
There are some pretty big wins for performance. I'll post benchmark
results in a comment. The biggest winner is nested access, as that would
have cloned the records for each cell path follow before and it doesn't
have to anymore.
The reusability of the `SharedCow` type is nice and I think it could be
used to clean up the previous work I did with `Arc` in `EngineState`.
It's meant to be a mostly transparent clone-on-write that just clones on
`.to_mut()` or `.into_owned()` if there are actually multiple
references, but avoids cloning if the reference is unique.
# User-Facing Changes
- `Value::Record` field is a different type (plugin authors)
# Tests + Formatting

- 🟢 `toolkit test`

# After Submitting

# Description
Currently `into bits` will try to coerce a `date`/`Value::Date` into a
string with a locale/timezone specific behavior (See #12268).
To resolve the ambiguity, remove the support for `date` entirely.
# User-Facing Changes
`date now | into bits` will now fail.
Instead you can use `... | format date '%c' | into bits` or any more
specific explicit choices to achieve the same behavior.
As `into bits` has minimal uses (and only pulled out of `extra` with
#12140), this doesn't warrant a deprecation.
# Description
When implementing a `Command`, one must also import all the types
present in the function signatures for `Command`. This makes it so that
we often import the same set of types in each command implementation
file. E.g., something like this:
```rust
use nu_protocol::ast::Call;
use nu_protocol::engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack};
use nu_protocol::{
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, PipelineData,
ShellError, Signature, Span, Type, Value,
};
```
This PR adds the `nu_engine::command_prelude` module which contains the
necessary and commonly used types to implement a `Command`:
```rust
// command_prelude.rs
pub use crate::CallExt;
pub use nu_protocol::{
ast::{Call, CellPath},
engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack},
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, IntoSpanned,
PipelineData, Record, ShellError, Signature, Span, Spanned, SyntaxShape, Type, Value,
};
```
This should reduce the boilerplate needed to implement a command and
also gives us a place to track the breadth of the `Command` API. I tried
to be conservative with what went into the prelude modules, since it
might be hard/annoying to remove items from the prelude in the future.
Let me know if something should be included or excluded.
# Description
This makes many of the larger objects in `EngineState` into `Arc`, and
uses `Arc::make_mut` to do clone-on-write if the reference is not
unique. This is generally very cheap, giving us the best of both worlds
- allowing us to mutate without cloning if we have an exclusive
reference, and cloning if we don't.
This started as more of a curiosity for me after remembering that
`Arc::make_mut` exists and can make using `Arc` for mostly immutable
data that sometimes needs to be changed very convenient, and also after
hearing someone complain about memory usage on Discord - this is a
somewhat significant win for that.
The exact objects that were wrapped in `Arc`:
- `files`, `file_contents` - the strings and byte buffers
- `decls` - the whole `Vec`, but mostly to avoid lots of individual
`malloc()` calls on Clone rather than for memory usage
- `blocks` - the blocks themselves, rather than the outer Vec
- `modules` - the modules themselves, rather than the outer Vec
- `env_vars`, `previous_env_vars` - the entire maps
- `config`
The changes required were relatively minimal, but this is a breaking API
change. In particular, blocks are added as Arcs, to allow the parser
cache functionality to work.
With my normal nu config, running on Linux, this saves me about 15 MiB
of process memory usage when running interactively (65 MiB → 50 MiB).
This also makes quick command executions cheaper, particularly since
every REPL loop now involves a clone of the engine state so that we can
recover from a panic. It also reduces memory usage where engine state
needs to be cloned and sent to another thread or kept within an
iterator.
# User-Facing Changes
Shouldn't be any, since it's all internal stuff, but it does change some
public interfaces so it's a breaking change
# 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
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)

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`.

`each`

# Description
- enables `bits` commands to operate on binary data, where both inputs
are binary and can vary in length
- adds an `--endian` flag to `bits and`, `or`, `xor` for specifying
endianness (for binary values of different lengths)
# User-Facing Changes
- `bits` commands will no longer error for non-int inputs
- the default for `--number-bytes` is now `auto` (infer int size;
changed from 8)

# Description
This PR renames the conversion functions on `Value` to be more consistent.
It follows the Rust [API guidelines](https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html#ad-hoc-conversions-follow-as_-to_-into_-conventions-c-conv) for ad-hoc conversions.
The conversion functions on `Value` now come in a few forms:
- `coerce_{type}` takes a `&Value` and attempts to convert the value to
`type` (e.g., `i64` are converted to `f64`). This is the old behavior of
some of the `as_{type}` functions -- these functions have simply been
renamed to better reflect what they do.
- The new `as_{type}` functions take a `&Value` and returns an `Ok`
result only if the value is of `type` (no conversion is attempted). The
returned value will be borrowed if `type` is non-`Copy`, otherwise an
owned value is returned.
- `into_{type}` exists for non-`Copy` types, but otherwise does not
attempt conversion just like `as_type`. It takes an owned `Value` and
always returns an owned result.
- `coerce_into_{type}` has the same relationship with `coerce_{type}` as
`into_{type}` does with `as_{type}`.
- `to_{kind}_string`: conversion to different string formats (debug,
abbreviated, etc.). Only two of the old string conversion functions were
removed, the rest have been renamed only.
- `to_{type}`: other conversion functions. Currently, only `to_path`
exists. (And `to_string` through `Display`.)
This table summaries the above:
| Form | Cost | Input Ownership | Output Ownership | Converts `Value`
case/`type` |
| ---------------------------- | ----- | --------------- |
---------------- | -------- |
| `as_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | No |
| `into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | No |
| `coerce_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | Yes |
| `coerce_into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{kind}_string` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{type}` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking API change for `Value` in `nu-protocol` which is exposed as
part of the plugin API.

Fixes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/11716
The problem is in our [record creation
API](0d518bf813/crates/nu-protocol/src/value/record.rs (L33))
which panics if the numbers of columns and values are different. I added
a safe variant that returns a `Result` and used it in the `rotate`
command.
## TODO in another PR:
Go through all `from_raw_cols_vals_unchecked()` (this includes the
`record!` macro which uses the unchecked version) and make sure that
either
a) it is guaranteed the number of cols and vals is the same, or
b) convert the call to `from_raw_cols_vals()`
Reason: Nushell should never panic.

# Description
`htmlescape` is unmaintained: https://crates.io/crates/htmlescape
while `v_htmlescape` is: https://crates.io/crates/v_htmlescape
and is used by two popular crates (`actix-files` and `minijinja`)
Let's use this instead - I'm packaging `nu` in Fedora and there is
understandable reluctance in bringing in an unmaintained crate if we can
avoid it.
# User-Facing Changes
Should not be any; drop-in replacement
# Tests + Formatting
Tested using:
- `cargo build` in the root folder (needed by some `nu-command` tests)
- `cargo test --features sqlite` in `crates/nu-command`
(`tests/commands/database/into_sqlite.rs` needs `rusqlite`)
- `cargo test` in `crates/nu-cmd-extra`

# Description
1. Make table to be a subtype of `list<any>`, so some input_output_types
of filter commands are unnecessary
2. Change some commands which accept an input type, but generates
different output types. In this case, delete duplicate entry, and change
relative output type to `<any>`
Yeah it makes some commands more permissive, but I think it's better to
run into strange issue that why my script runs to failed during parse
time.
