# Description
This PR implements an experimental inter-job communication model,
through direct message passing, aka "mail"ing or "dm"ing:
- `job send <id>`: Sends a message the job with the given id, the root
job has id 0. Messages are stored in the recipient's "mailbox"
- `job recv`: Returns a stored message, blocks if the mailbox is empty
- `job flush`: Clear all messages from mailbox
Additionally, messages can be sent with a numeric tag, which can then be
filtered with `mail recv --tag`.
This is useful for spawning jobs and receiving messages specifically
from those jobs.
This PR is mostly a proof of concept for how inter-job communication
could look like, so people can provide feedback and suggestions
Closes #15199
May close#15220 since now jobs can access their own id.
# User-Facing Changes
Adds, `job id`, `job send`, `job recv` and `job flush` commands.

# Description
Before this PR, `to msgpack`/`to msgpackz` and `to json` serialize
closures as `nil`/`null` respectively, when the `--serialize` option
isn't passed. This PR makes it an error to serialize closures to msgpack
or JSON without the `--serialize` flag, which is the behavior of `to
nuon`.
This PR also adds the `--serialize` flag to `to msgpack`.
This PR also changes `to nuon` and `to json` to return an error if they
cannot find the block contents of a closure, rather than serializing an
empty string or an error string, respectively. This behavior is
replicated for `to msgpack`.
It also changes `to nuon`'s error message for serializing closures
without `--serialize` to be the same as the new errors for `to json` and
`to msgpack`.
# User-Facing Changes
* Add `--serialize` flag to `to msgpack`, similar to the `--serialize`
flag for `to nuon` and `to json`.
* Serializing closures to JSON or msgpack without `--serialize`
Partially fixes#11738
# Description
This is an attempt to improve the nushell situation with regard to issue
#247.
This PR implements:
- [X] spawning jobs: `job spawn { do_background_thing }`
Jobs will be implemented as threads and not forks, to maintain a
consistent behavior between unix and windows.
- [X] listing running jobs: `job list`
This should allow users to list what background tasks they currently
have running.
- [X] killing jobs: `job kill <id>`
- [X] interupting nushell code in the job's background thread
- [X] interrupting the job's currently-running process, if any.
Things that should be taken into consideration for implementation:
- [X] (unix-only) Handling `TSTP` signals while executing code and
turning the current program into a background job, and unfreezing them
in foreground `job unfreeze`.
- [X] Ensuring processes spawned by background jobs get distinct process
groups from the nushell shell itself
This PR originally aimed to implement some of the following, but it is
probably ideal to be left for another PR (scope creep)
- Disowning external process jobs (`job dispatch`)
- Inter job communication (`job send/recv`)
Roadblocks encountered so far:
- Nushell does some weird terminal sequence magics which make so that
when a background process or thread prints something to stderr and the
prompt is idle, the stderr output ends up showing up weirdly
# Description
`overlay use` now imports constants exported from modules, just like
`use`.
```nushell
# foo.nu
export const a = 1
export const b = 2
```
- `overlay use foo.nu` being equivalent to `use foo.nu *` and exposing
constants `$a = 1` and `$b = 2`
- `overlay use foo.nu -p` being equivalent to `use foo.nu` and exposing
the constant `$foo = {a: 1, b: 2}`
# User-Facing Changes
`overlay use` now imports constants just like `use`.

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

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
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
- Error outputs now include more detailed information and are formatted
differently, including updated error codes.
- The structure of `ShellError` has changed, requiring plugin authors
and embedders to update their implementations.

# Description
Fixes multiple issues related to `ENV_CONVERSION` and
path-conversion-to-list.
* #14681 removed some calls to `convert_env_values()`, but we found that
this caused `nu -n` to no longer convert the path properly.
* `ENV_CONVERSIONS` have apparently never preserved case, meaning a
conversion with a key of `foo` would not update `$env.FOO` but rather
create a new environment variable with a different case.
* There was a partial code-path that attempted to solve this for `PATH`,
but it only worked for `PATH` and `Path`.
* `convert_env_values()`, which handled `ENV_CONVERSIONS` was called in
multiple places in the startup depending on flags.
This PR:
* Refactors the startup to handle the conversion in `main()` rather than
in each potential startup path
* Updates `get_env_var_insensitive()` functions added in #14390 to
return the name of the environment variable with its original case. This
allows code that updates environment variables to preserve the case.
* Makes use of the updated function in `ENV_CONVERSIONS` to preserve the
case of any updated environment variables. The `ENV_CONVERSION` key
itself is still case **insensitive**.
* Makes use of the updated function to preserve the case of the `PATH`
environment variable (normally handled separately, regardless of whether
or not there was an `ENV_CONVERSION` for it).
## Before
`env_convert_values` was run:
* Before the user `env.nu` ran, which included `nu -c <commandstring>`
and `nu <script.nu>`
* Before the REPL loaded, which included `nu -n`
## After
`env_convert_values` always runs once in `main()` before any config file
is processed or the REPL is started

# After Submitting
There is additional cleanup that should probably be done in
`convert_env_values()`. This function previously handled
`ENV_CONVERSIONS`, but there is no longer any need for this since
`convert_env_vars()` runs whenever `$env.ENV_CONVERSIONS` changes now.
This means that the only relevant task in the old `convert_env_values()`
is to convert the `PATH` to a list, and ensure that it is a list of
strings. It's still calling the `from_string` conversion on every
variable (just once) even though there are no `ENV_CONVERSIONS` at this
point.
Leaving that to another PR though, while we get the core issue fixed
with this one.

# Description
Remove usages of `internal_span` in matches and initializers. I think
this should be the last of the usages, meaning `internal_span` can
finally be refactored out of `Value`(!?)
# Description
Because `and` and `or` are short-circuiting operations in Nushell, they
must be compiled to a sequence that avoids evaluating the RHS if the LHS
is already sufficient to determine the output - i.e., `false` for `and`
and `true` for `or`. I initially implemented this with `branch-if`
instructions, simply returning the RHS if it needed to be evaluated, and
returning the short-circuited boolean value if it did not.
Example for `$a and $b`:
```
0: load-variable %0, var 999 "$a"
1: branch-if %0, 3
2: jump 5
3: load-variable %0, var 1000 "$b" # label(0), from(1:)
4: jump 6
5: load-literal %0, bool(false) # label(1), from(2:)
6: span %0 # label(2), from(4:)
7: return %0
```
Unfortunately, this broke polars, because using `and`/`or` on custom
values is perfectly valid and they're allowed to define that behavior
differently, and the polars plugin uses this for boolean masks. But
without using the `binary-op` instruction, that custom behavior is never
invoked. Additionally, `branch-if` requires a boolean, and custom values
are not booleans. This changes the IR to the following, using the
`match` instruction to check for the specific short-circuit value
instead, and still invoking `binary-op` otherwise:
```
0: load-variable %0, var 125 "$a"
1: match (false), %0, 4
2: load-variable %1, var 124 "$b"
3: binary-op %0, Boolean(And), %1
4: span %0 # label(0), from(1:)
5: return %0
```
I've also renamed `Pattern::Value` to `Pattern::Expression` and added a
proper `Pattern::Value` variant that actually contains a `Value`
instead. I'm still hoping to remove `Pattern::Expression` eventually,
because it's kind of a hack - we don't actually evaluate the expression,
we just match it against a few cases specifically for pattern matching,
and it's one of the cases where AST leaks into IR and I want to remove
all of those cases, because AST should not leak into IR.
Fixes#14518
# User-Facing Changes
- `and` and `or` now support custom values again.
- the IR is actually a little bit cleaner, though it may be a bit
slower; `match` is more complex.
# Tests + Formatting
The existing tests pass, but I didn't add anything new. Unfortunately I
don't think there's anything built-in to trigger this, but maybe some
testcases could be added to polars to test it.
Fixes#14554
# User-Facing Changes
Raw strings are now supported in match patterns:
```diff
match "foo" { r#'foo'# => true, _ => false }
-false
+true
```
# Description
Before this PR, `help commands` uses the name from a command's
declaration rather than the name in the scope. This is problematic when
trying to view the help page for the `main` command of a module. For
example, `std bench`:
```nushell
use std/bench
help bench
# => Error: nu::parser::not_found
# =>
# => × Not found.
# => ╭─[entry #10:1:6]
# => 1 │ help bench
# => · ──┬──
# => · ╰── did not find anything under this name
# => ╰────
```
This can also cause confusion when importing specific commands from
modules. Furthermore, if there are multiple commands with the same name
from different modules, the help text for _both_ will appear when
querying their help text (this is especially problematic for `main`
commands, see #14033):
```nushell
use std/iter
help iter find
# => Error: nu::parser::not_found
# =>
# => × Not found.
# => ╭─[entry #3:1:6]
# => 1│ help iter find
# => · ────┬────
# => · ╰── did not find anything under this name
# => ╰────
help find
# => Searches terms in the input.
# =>
# => Search terms: filter, regex, search, condition
# =>
# => Usage:
# => > find {flags} ...(rest)
# [...]
# => Returns the first element of the list that matches the
# => closure predicate, `null` otherwise
# [...]
# (full text omitted for brevity)
```
This PR changes `help commands` to use the name as it is in scope, so
prefixing any command in scope with `help` will show the correct help
text.
```nushell
use std/bench
help bench
# [help text for std bench]
use std/iter
help iter find
# [help text for std iter find]
use std
help std bench
# [help text for std bench]
help std iter find
# [help text for std iter find]
```
Additionally, the IR code generation for commands called with the
`--help` text has been updated to reflect this change.
This does have one side effect: when a module has a `main` command
defined, running `help <name>` (which checks `help aliases`, then `help
commands`, then `help modules`) will show the help text for the `main`
command rather than the module. The help text for the module is still
accessible with `help modules <name>`.
Fixes#10499, #10311, #11609, #13470, #14033, and #14402.
Partially fixes#10707.
Does **not** fix#11447.
# User-Facing Changes
* Help text for commands can be obtained by running `help <command
name>`, where the command name is the same thing you would type in order
to execute the command. Previously, it was the name of the function as
written in the source file.
* For example, for the following module `spam` with command `meow`:
```nushell
module spam {
# help text
export def meow [] {}
}
```
* Before this PR:
* Regardless of how `meow` is `use`d, the help text is viewable by
running `help meow`.
* After this PR:
* When imported with `use spam`: The `meow` command is executed by
running `spam meow` and the `help` text is viewable by running `help
spam meow`.
* When imported with `use spam foo`: The `meow` command is executed by
running `meow` and the `help` text is viewable by running `meow`.
* When a module has a `main` command defined, `help <module name>` will
return help for the main command, rather than the module. To access the
help for the module, use `help modules <module name>`.

# Description
This PR adds a new function that allows one to get an env var
case-insensitively. I did this so we can hopefully stop having problems
when Windows has HKLM as path and HKCU as Path.
Instead of just changing every function that used the original one, I
chose the ones that I thought were specific to getting the path. I
didn't want to go all in and make every env get case insensitive, but
maybe we should? 🤷🏻♂️closes#12676

This PR implements PWD-per-drive as described in discussion #14355
# Description
On Windows, CMD or PowerShell assigns each drive its own current
directory. For example, if you are in 'C:\Windows', switch to 'D:', and
navigate to 'D:\Game', you can return to 'C:\Windows' by simply typing
'C:'.
This PR enables Nushell on Windows to have the same capability, allowing
each drive to maintain its own PWD (Present Working Directory).
# User-Facing Changes
Currently, 'cd' or 'ls' only accept absolute paths if the path starts
with 'C:' or another drive letter. With PWD-per-drive, users can use
'cd' (or auto cd) and 'ls' in the same way as 'cd' and 'dir' in
PowerShell, or similarly to 'cd' and 'dir' in CMD (noting that cd in CMD
has slightly different behavior, 'cd' for another drive only changes
current directory of that drive, but does not switch there).
Interaction example on switching between drives:
```Nushell
~>D:
D:\>cd Test
D:\Test\>C:
~>D:
D:\Test\>C:
~>cd D:..
D:\>C:x/../y/../z/..
~>cd D:Test\Test
D:\Test\Test>C:
~>D:...
D:\>
```
Interaction example on auto-completion at cmd line:
```Nushell
~>cd D:\test[Enter]
D:\test>~[Enter]
~>D:[TAB]
~>D:\test[Enter]
D:\test>c:.c[TAB]
c:\users\nushell\.cargo\ c:\users\nushell\.config\
```
Interaction example on pass PWD-per-drive to child process: (Note CMD
will use it, but PowerShell will ignore it though it still prepares such
info for child process)
```Nushell
~>cd D:\Test
D:\Test>cd E:\Test
E:\Test\>~
~>CMD
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22631.4460]
(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

# Brief Change Description
1.Added 'crates/nu-path/src/pwd_per_drive.rs' to implement a 26-slot
array mapping drive letters to PWDs. Test cases are included in the same
file, along with a doctest for the usage of PWD-per-drive.
2. Modified 'crates/nu-path/src/lib.rs' to declare module of
pwd_per_drive and export struct for PWD-per-drive.
3. Modified 'crates/nu-protocol/src/engine/stack.rs' to sync PWD when
set_cwd() is called. Add PWD-per-drive map as member. Clone between
parent and child. Stub/proxy for nu_path::expand_path_with() to
facilitate filesystem commands using PWD-per-drive.
4. Modified 'crates/nu-cli/src/repl.rs' auto_cd uses PWD-per-drive to
expand path.
5. Modified 'crates/nu-cli/src/completions/completion_common.rs' to
expand relative path when press [TAB] at command line.
6. Modified 'crates/nu-engine/src/env.rs' to collect PWD-per-drive info
as env vars for child process as CMD or PowerShell do, this can let
child process inherit PWD-per-drive info.
7. Modified 'crates/nu-engine/src/eval.rs', caller clone callee's
PWD-per-drive info, supporting 'def --env'
8. Modified 'crates/nu-engine/src/eval_ir.rs', 'def --env' support.
Remove duplicated fn redirect_env()
9. Modified 'src/run.rs', to init PWD-per-drive when startup.
filesystem commands that modified:
1. Modified 'crates/nu-command/src/filesystem/cd.rs', 1 line change to
use stackscoped PWD-per-drive.

This PR makes it so that when using fuzzy matching, the score isn't
recomputed when sorting. Instead, filtering and sorting suggestions is
handled by a new `NuMatcher` struct. This struct accepts suggestions
and, if they match the user's typed text, stores those suggestions
(along with their scores and values). At the end, it returns a sorted
list of suggestions.
This probably won't have a noticeable impact on performance, but it
might be helpful if we start using Nucleo in the future.
Minor change: Makes `find_commands_by_predicate` in `StateWorkingSet`
and `EngineState` take `FnMut` rather than `Fn` for the predicate.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
When using case-insensitive matching, if you have two matches `FOO` and
`abc`, `abc` will be shown before `FOO` rather than the other way
around. I think this way makes more sense than the current behavior.
When I brought this up on Discord, WindSoilder did say it would make
sense to show uppercase matches first if the user typed, say, `F`.
However, that would be a lot more complicated to implement.

# Description
Removes the `NU_DISABLE_IR` option and some code related to evaluating
blocks with the AST
evaluator.
Does not entirely remove the AST evaluator yet. We still have some
dependencies on expression
evaluation in a few minor places which will take a little bit of effort
to fix.
Also changes `debug profile` to always include instructions, because the
output is a little
confusing otherwise, and removes the different options for
instructions/exprs.
# User-Facing Changes
- `NU_DISABLE_IR` no longer has any effect, and is removed. There is no
way to use the AST
evaluator.
- `debug profile` no longer has `--exprs`, `--instructions` options.
- `debug profile` lists `pc` and `instruction` columns by default now.
# Tests + Formatting
Eval tests fixed to only use IR.
# After Submitting
- [ ] release notes
- [ ] finish removing AST evaluator, come up with solutions for the
expression evaluation.
Fixes#14145
# User-Facing Changes
An empty rest match would be `null` previously. Now it will be an empty
list.
This is a breaking change for any scripts relying on the old behavior.
Example script:
```nu
match [1] {
[_ ..$rest] => {
match $rest {
null => { "old" }
[] => { "new" }
}
}
}
```
This expression would evaluate to "old" on current nu versions and "new"
with this patch.
# Description
This PR adds an indicator when listing subcommands. That indicator tells
whether the command is a plugin, alias, or custom_command.

I changed some of the API to make this work a little easier, namely
`get_signatures()` is now `get_signatures_and_declids()`. It was used in
only one other place (run-external), so I thought it was fine to change
it.
There is a long-standing issue with aliases where they reference the
command name instead of the alias name. This PR doesn't fix that bug.
Example.
```nushell
❯ alias "str fill" = str wrap
```
```nushell
❯ str
... other stuff
Subcommands:
str wrap (alias) - Alias for `str wrap`
str wrap (plugin) - Wrap text passed into pipeline.
```
# User-Facing Changes
Slightly different output of subcommands.
# Description
Fixes#13991. This was done by more clearly separating the case when a
pipeline is drained vs when it is being written (to a file).
I also added an `OutDest::Print` case which might not be strictly
necessary, but is a helpful addition.
# User-Facing Changes
Bug fix.
# Tests + Formatting
Added a test.
# After Submitting
There are still a few redirection bugs that I found, but they require
larger code changes, so I'll leave them until after the release.
# Description
This PR standardizes updates to the config through a new
`UpdateFromValue` trait. For now, this trait is private in case we need
to make changes to it.
Note that this PR adds some additional `ShellError` cases to create
standard error messages for config errors. A follow-up PR will move
usages of the old error cases to these new ones. This PR also uses
`Type::custom` in lots of places (e.g., for string enums). Not sure if
this is something we want to encourage.
# User-Facing Changes
Should be none.
# Description
Fixes#14000 by once again calling `set_current_dir()`, but doing so
with the `cwd` from the current state, rather than the (previously

Updated summary for commit
[612e0e2](612e0e2160)
- While folks are welcome to read through the entire comments, the core
information is summarized here.
# Description
This PR drastically improves startup times of Nushell by only parsing a
single submodule of the Standard Library that provides the `banner` and
`pwd` commands. All other Standard Library commands and submodules are
parsed when imported by the user. This cuts startup times by more than
60%.
At the moment, we have stopped adding to `std-lib` because every
addition adds a small amount to the Nushell startup time.
With this change, we should once again be able to allow new
functionality to be added to the Standard Library without it impacting
`nu` startup times.
# User-Facing Changes
* Nushell now starts about 60% faster
* Breaking change: The `dirs` (Shells) aliases will return a warning
message that it will not be auto-loaded in the following release, along
with instructions on how to restore it (and disable the message)
* The `use std <submodule> *` syntax is available for convenience, but
should be avoided in scripts as it parses the entire `std` module and
all other submodules and places it in scope. The correct syntax to
*just* load a submodule is `use std/<submodule> *` (asterisk optional).
The slash is important. This will be documented.
* `use std *` can be used for convenience to load all of the library but
still incurs the full loading-time.
* `std/dirs`: Semi-breaking change. The `dirs` command replaces the
`show` command. This is more in line with the directory-stack
functionality found in other shells. Existing users will not be impacted
by this as the alias (`shells`) remains the same.
* Breaking-change: Technically a breaking change, but probably only
impacts maintainers of `std`. The virtual path for the standard library
has changed. It could previously be imported using its virtual path (and
technically, this would have been the correct way to do it):
```nu
use NU_STDLIB_VIRTUAL_DIR/std
```
The path is now simply `std/`:
```nu
use std
```
All submodules have moved accordingly.
# Timings
Comparisons below were made:
* In a temporary, clean config directory using `$env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME =
(mktemp -d)`.
* `nu` was run with a release build
* `nu` was run one time to generate the default `config.nu` (etc.) files
- Otherwise timings would include the user-prompt
* The shell was exited and then restarted several times to get timing
samples
(Note: Old timings based on 0.97 rather than 0.98, but in the range of
being accurate)
| Scenario | `$nu.startup-time` |
| --- | --- |
| 0.97.2

| Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-config-file --no-std-lib` |
1ms - 1.5ms |
*These last two timings point to the opportunity for further
optimization (see comment in thread below (will link once I write it).*
# Implementation details for future maintenance
* `use std banner` is a ridiculously deceptive call. That call parses
and imports *all* of `std` into scope. Simply replacing it with `use
std/core *` is essentially what saves ~14-15ms. This *only* imports the
submodule with the `banner` and `pwd` commands.
* From the code-comments, the reason that `NU_STDLIB_VIRTUAL_DIR` was
used as a prefix was so that there wouldn't be an issue if a user had a
`./std/mod.nu` in the current directory. This does **not** appear to be
an issue. After removing the prefix, I tested with both a relative
module as well as one in the `$env.NU_LIB_DIRS` path, and in all cases
the *internal* `std` still took precedence.
* By removing the prefix, users can now `use std` (and variants) without
requiring that it already be parsed and in scope.
* In the next release, we'll stop autoloading the `dirs` (shells)
functionality. While this only costs an additional 1-1.5ms, I think it's
better moved to the `config.nu` where the user can optionally remove it.
The main reason is its use of aliases (which have also caused issues) -
The `n`, `p`, and `g` short-commands are valuable real-estate, and users
may want to map these to something else.
For this release, there's an `deprecated_dirs` module that is still
autoloaded. As with the top-level commands, use of these will give a
deprecation warning with instructions on how to handle going forward.
To help with this, moved the aliases to their own submodule inside the
`dirs` module.
* Also sneaks in a small change where the top-level `dirs` command is
now the replacement for `dirs show`
* Fixed a double-import of `assert` in `dirs.nu`
* The `show_banner` step is replaced with simply `banner` rather than
re-importing it.
* A `virtual_path` may now be referenced with either a forward-slash or
a backward-slash on Windows. This allows `use std/<submodule>` to work
on all platforms.
# Performance side-notes:
* Future parsing and/or IR improvements should improve performance even
further.
* While the existing load time penalty of `std-lib` was not noticeable
on many systems, Nushell runs on a wide-variety of hardware and OS
platforms. Slower platforms will naturally see a bigger jump in
performance here. For users starting multiple Nushell sessions
frequently (e.g., `tmux`, Zellij, `screen`, et. al.) it is recommended
to keep total startup time (including user configuration) under ~250ms.
# Tests + Formatting
* All tests are green
* Updated tests:
- Removed the test that confirmed that `std` was loaded (since we
don't).
- Removed the `shells` test since it is not autoloaded. Main `dirs.nu`
functionality is tested through `stdlib-test`.
- Many tests assumed that the library was fully loaded, because it was
(even though we didn't intend for it to be). Fixed those tests.
- Tests now import only the necessary submodules (e.g., `use
std/assert`, rather than `use std assert`)
- Some tests *thought* they were loading `std/log`, but were doing so
improperly. This was masked by the now-fixed "load-everything-into-scope
bug". Local CI would pass due the `$env.NU_LOG_<...>` variables being
inherited from the calling process, but would fail in the "clean" GitHub
CI environment. These tests have also been fixed.
* Added additional tests for the changes

# Description

# Description
In the PR #13832 I used some newtypes for the old IDs. `SpanId` and
`RegId` already used newtypes, to streamline the code, I made them into
the same style as the other marker-based IDs.
Since `RegId` should be a bit smaller (it uses a `u32` instead of
`usize`) according to @devyn, I made the `Id` type generic with `usize`
as the default inner value.
The question still stands how `Display` should be implemented if even.
# User-Facing Changes
Users of the internal values of `RegId` or `SpanId` have breaking
changes but who outside nushell itself even uses these?
# After Submitting
The IDs will be streamlined and all type-safe.
# Description
In this PR I replaced most of the raw usize IDs with
[newtypes](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/generics/new_types.html).
Some other IDs already started using new types and in this PR I did not
want to touch them. To make the implementation less repetitive, I made
use of a generic `Id<T>` with marker structs. If this lands I would try
to move make other IDs also in this pattern.
Also at some places I needed to use `cast`, I'm not sure if the type was
incorrect and therefore casting not needed or if actually different ID
types intermingle sometimes.
# User-Facing Changes
Probably few, if you got a `DeclId` via a function and placed it later
again it will still work.
This PR sets the current working directory to the location of the
Nushell executable at startup, using `std::env::set_current_dir()`. This
is desirable because after PR
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/12922, we no longer change our
current working directory even after `cd` is executed, and some OS might
lock the directory where Nushell started.
The location of the Nushell executable is chosen because it cannot be
removed while Nushell is running anyways, so we don't have to worry
about OS locking it.
This PR has the side effect that it breaks buggy command even harder.
I'll keep this PR as a draft until these commands are fixed, but it
might be helpful to pull this PR if you're working on fixing one of
those bugs.

# Description
Partialy addresses #13868. `try` does not catch non-zero exit code
errors from the last command in a pipeline if the result is assigned to
a variable using `let` (or `mut`).
This was fixed by adding a new `OutDest::Value` case. This is used when
the pipeline is in a "value" position. I.e., it will be collected into a
value. This ended up replacing most of the usages of `OutDest::Capture`.
So, this PR also renames `OutDest::Capture` to `OutDest::PipeSeparate`
to better fit the few remaining use cases for it.

# Description
This PR makes it so that non-zero exit codes and termination by signal
are treated as a normal `ShellError`. Currently, these are silent
errors. That is, if an external command fails, then it's code block is
aborted, but the parent block can sometimes continue execution. E.g.,
see #8569 and this example:
```nushell
[1 2] | each { ^false }
```
Before this would give:
```
╭───┬──╮
│ 0 │ │
│ 1 │ │
╰───┴──╯
```
Now, this shows an error:
```
Error: nu:🐚:eval_block_with_input
× Eval block failed with pipeline input
╭─[entry #1:1:2]
1 │ [1 2] | each { ^false }
· ┬
· ╰── source value
╰────
Error: nu:🐚:non_zero_exit_code
× External command had a non-zero exit code
╭─[entry #1:1:17]
1 │ [1 2] | each { ^false }
· ──┬──
· ╰── exited with code 1
╰────
```
This PR fixes#12874, fixes#5960, fixes#10856, and fixes#5347. This
PR also partially addresses #10633 and #10624 (only the last command of
a pipeline is currently checked). It looks like #8569 is already fixed,
but this PR will make sure it is definitely fixed (fixes#8569).
# User-Facing Changes
- Non-zero exit codes and termination by signal now cause an error to be
thrown.
- The error record value passed to a `catch` block may now have an
`exit_code` column containing the integer exit code if the error was due
to an external command.
- Adds new config values, `display_errors.exit_code` and
`display_errors.termination_signal`, which determine whether an error
message should be printed in the respective error cases. For
non-interactive sessions, these are set to `true`, and for interactive
sessions `display_errors.exit_code` is false (via the default config).
# Tests
Added a few tests.
# After Submitting
- Update docs and book.
- Future work:
- Error if other external commands besides the last in a pipeline exit
with a non-zero exit code. Then, deprecate `do -c` since this will be
the default behavior everywhere.
- Add a better mechanism for exit codes and deprecate
`$env.LAST_EXIT_CODE` (it's buggy).

Currently the parser and the documentation generation use the signature
of the command, which means that it doesn't pick up on the changed name
of the `main` block, and therefore shows the name of the command as
"main" and doesn't find the subcommands. This PR changes the
aforementioned places to use the block signature to fix these issues.
This closes#13397. Incidentally it also causes input/output types to be
shown in the help, which is kinda pointless for scripts since they don't
operate on structured data but maybe not worth the effort to remove.

# 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`
# Tests + Formatting
- Updated plugin protocol specific changes
# After Submitting
- [ ] update plugin protocol doc
This PR will close#13501
# Description
This PR expands on [the relay of signals to running plugin
processes](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/13181). The Ctrlc
relay has been generalized to SignalAction::Interrupt and when
reset_signal is called on the main EngineState, a SignalAction::Reset is
now relayed to running plugins.
# User-Facing Changes
The signal handler closure now takes a `signals::SignalAction`, while
previously it took no arguments. The handler will now be called on both
interrupt and reset. The method to register a handler on the plugin side
is now called `register_signal_handler` instead of
`register_ctrlc_handler`
[example](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/13510/files#diff-3e04dff88fd0780a49778a3d1eede092ec729a1264b4ef07ca0d2baa859dad05L38).
This will only affect plugin authors who have started making use of
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/13181, which isn't currently
part of an official release.
The change will also require all of user's plugins to be recompiled in
order that they don't error when a signal is received on the
PluginInterface.
# Testing

# Description
This PR adds a new method to `EngineInterface`: `register_ctrlc_handler`
which takes a closure to run when the plugin's driving engine receives a
ctrlc-signal. It also adds a mirror of the `signals` attribute from the
main shell `EngineState`.
This is an example of how a plugin which makes a long poll http request
can end the request on ctrlc:
https://github.com/cablehead/nu_plugin_http/blob/main/src/commands/request.rs#L68-L77
To facilitate the feature, a new attribute has been added to
`EngineState`: `ctrlc_handlers`. This is a Vec of closures that will be
run when the engine's process receives a ctrlc signal.
When plugins are added to an `engine_state` during a `merge_delta`, the
engine passes the ctrlc_handlers to the plugin's
`.configure_ctrlc_handler` method, which gives the plugin a chance to
register a handler that sends a ctrlc packet through the
`PluginInterface`, if an instance of the plugin is currently running.
On the plugin side: `EngineInterface` also has a ctrlc_handlers Vec of
closures. Plugin calls can use `register_ctrlc_handler` to register a
closure that will be called in the plugin process when the
PluginInput::Ctrlc command is received.
For future reference these are some alternate places that were
investigated for tying the ctrlc trigger to transmitting a Ctrlc packet
through the `PluginInterface`:
- Directly from `src/signals.rs`: the handler there would need a
reference to the Vec<Arc<RegisteredPlugins>>, which would require us to
wrap the plugins in a Mutex, which we don't want to do.
- have `PersistentPlugin.get_plugin` pass down the engine's
CtrlcHandlers to .get and then to .spawn (if the plugin isn't already
running). Once we have CtrlcHandlers in spawn, we can register a handler
to write directly to PluginInterface. We don't want to double down on
passing engine_state to spawn this way though, as it's unpredictable
because it would depend on whether the plugin has already been spawned
or not.
- pass `ctrlc_handlers` to PersistentPlugin::new so it can store it on
itself so it's available to spawn.
- in `PersistentPlugin.spawn`, create a handler that sends to a clone of
the GC event loop's tx. this has the same issues with regards to how to
get CtrlcHandlers to the spawn method, and is more complicated than a
handler that writes directly to PluginInterface
