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
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.

# 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.

# 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
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 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.
# Description
When using a table (or a list of records) as input to `input list`,
allow specifying a cellpath for the field/column to use as the display
value.
For instance, at the moment, using a table as input results in the
following:
```
❯ [[name price]; [Banana 12] [Kiwi 4] [Pear 7]] | input list
> {name: Banana, price: 12}
{name: Kiwi, price: 4}
{name: Pear, price: 7}
```
With the new `--display` flag introduced by this PR, you can do the
following:
```
❯ [[name price]; [Banana 12] [Kiwi 4] [Pear 7]] | input list -d name
> Banana
Kiwi
Pear
```
Note that it doesn't change what gets returned after selecting an item:
the full row/record is still returned.

relative output type to `<any>`
Yeah it makes some commands more permissive, but I think it's better to

# Description
Add an extension trait `IgnoreCaseExt` to nu_utils which adds some case
insensitivity helpers, and use them throughout nu to improve the
handling of case insensitivity. Proper case folding is done via unicase,
which is already a dependency via mime_guess from nu-command.
In actuality a lot of code still does `to_lowercase`, because unicase
only provides immediate comparison and doesn't expose a `to_folded_case`
yet. And since we do a lot of `contains`/`starts_with`/`ends_with`, it's
not sufficient to just have `eq_ignore_case`. But if we get access in
the future, this makes us ready to use it with a change in one place.
Plus, it's clearer what the purpose is at the call site to call
`to_folded_case` instead of `to_lowercase` if it's exclusively for the
purpose of case insensitive comparison, even if it just does
`to_lowercase` still.
# User-Facing Changes
- Some commands that were supposed to be case insensitive remained only
insensitive to ASCII case (a-z), and now are case insensitive w.r.t.
non-ASCII characters as well.

# Description
After reading
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/10196#issuecomment-1703986359 I

When I initially tried `input listen` it always immediately returned
with:
```
╭───────┬────────╮

╰───────┴────────╯
```
I added an example to `input listen --help` to suggest only listening to
key events
Initially I also included a `result` but it prints as:
```
╭───────────┬───────────────╮
│ type │ key │
│ key_type │ char │
│ code │ c │
│ modifiers │ [list 1 item] │
╰───────────┴───────────────╯
```
rather than:
```
╭───────────┬───────────────────────────────╮

│ │ ╭───┬───────────────────────╮ │
│ modifiers │ │ 0 │ keymodifiers(control) │ │

so I removed it.

## After merging
It is probably worth:
a) signposting to the keybindings section of the book from both of these
subcommands (like I did in
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/10193),
b) giving an example in the book of how to take the output from `input
listen --types [key]` and format it for including in `config nu`
c) there are not currently any examples in
crates/nu-utils/src/sample_config/default_config.nu for keybindings with
multiple modifiers. Should I add alt+backspace-in-macos-vscode as an
example (gets translated to `{ modifier: control_alt keycode: char_h }`
for historical reasons)?

close#8074
I attempted to refactor the "input" command. The reason for this is that
the current implementation of the "input" command lacks consistency for
different options. For instance, some parts use `std::io::stdin` while
others use `crossterm::event::read`.
In this pull request, I have made changes to use crossterm consistently:
- Detection of the -u option is now done using `crossterm`'s
`KeyCode::Char`.
- The current input is displayed when using `crossterm` for input (it
won't be displayed when -s is present).
- Ctrl-C triggers SIGINT.
# User-Facing Changes
Users can interrupt "input" with ctrl-c.
# Description
This doesn't really do much that the user could see, but it helps get us
ready to do the steps of the refactor to split the span off of Value, so
that values can be spanless. This allows us to have top-level values
that can hold both a Value and a Span, without requiring that all values
have them.
We expect to see significant memory reduction by removing so many
unnecessary spans from values. For example, a table of 100,000 rows and
5 columns would have a savings of ~8megs in just spans that are almost
always duplicated.

# Description
This PR creates a new `Record` type to reduce duplicate code and
possibly bugs as well. (This is an edited version of #9648.)
- `Record` implements `FromIterator` and `IntoIterator` and so can be
iterated over or collected into. For example, this helps with
conversions to and from (hash)maps. (Also, no more
`cols.iter().zip(vals)`!)
- `Record` has a `push(col, val)` function to help insure that the
number of columns is equal to the number of values. I caught a few
potential bugs thanks to this (e.g. in the `ls` command).
- Finally, this PR also adds a `record!` macro that helps simplify
record creation. It is used like so:
```rust
record! {
"key1" => some_value,
"key2" => Value::string("text", span),
"key3" => Value::int(optional_int.unwrap_or(0), span),
"key4" => Value::bool(config.setting, span),
}
```
Since macros hinder formatting, etc., the right hand side values should
be relatively short and sweet like the examples above.
Where possible, prefer `record!` or `.collect()` on an iterator instead
of multiple `Record::push`s, since the first two automatically set the
record capacity and do less work overall.

Besides the changes in `nu-protocol` the only other breaking changes are
to `nu-table::{ExpandedTable::build_map, JustTable::kv_table}`.
# Description
in its documentation, `input list` says it only accepts the following
signatures
- `list<any> -> list<any>`
- `list<string> -> string`
however this is incorrect as the following is allowed and even in the
help page
```nushell
[1 2 3] | input list # -> returns an `int`
```
this PR fixes the signature of `input list`.
- with no option or `--fuzzy`, `input list` takes a `list<any>` and
outputs a single `any`
- with `--multi`, `input list` takes a `list<any>` and outputs a
`list<any>`
# User-Facing Changes
the input output signature of `input list` is now
```
╭───┬───────────┬───────────╮
│ # │ input │ output │
├───┼───────────┼───────────┤
│ 0 │ list<any> │ list<any> │
│ 1 │ list<any> │ any │
╰───┴───────────┴───────────╯
```
# Tests + Formatting
this shouldn't change anything as `[1 2 3] | input list` already works.

# Description
Add a `keybindings get` command to listen and get individual "keyboard"
events. This includes different keyboard keys (see example of use) on
seemingly all terminals and mouse, resize, focus and paste events on
some special once. The record returned by this command is similar to
crossterm event structure and is documented in help message. For ease of
use, option `--types` can get a list of event types to filter only
desired events automatically. Additionally `--raw` options displays raw
code of char keys and numeric format of modifier flags.
Example of use, moving a character around a grid with arrow keys:
```nu
def test [] {
mut x = 0
mut y = 0
loop {
clear
$x = ([([$x 4] | math min) 0] | math max)
$y = ([([$y 4] | math min) 0] | math max)
for i in 0..4 {
for j in 0..4 {
if $j == $x and $i == $y {
print -n "*"
} else {
print -n "."
}
}
print ""
}
let inp = (input listen-t [ key ])
match $inp.key {
{type: other key: enter} => (break)
{type: other key: up} => ($y = $y - 1)
{type: other key: down} => ($y = $y + 1)
{type: other key: left} => ($x = $x - 1)
{type: other key: right} => ($x = $x + 1)
_ => ()
}
}
}
```
# User-Facing Changes
- New `keybindngs get` command
- `keybindings listen` is left as is
- New `input display` command in std, mirroring functionality of
`keybindings listen`

# Description
This PR fixes a bug that @amtoine found. It adds an input_output type so
that `input list`'s signature supports `string` as an output.
## Before

```
Signatures:
list<any> | input list <string?> -> list<any>
```
## After

```
Signatures:
list<any> | input list <string?> -> list<any>
list<string> | input list <string?> -> <string>

this PR should close#9018
# Description
This PR aims to fix the `input` command with `--suppress-output` on
Windows
This fixes two separates issues :
- Keypresses being duplicated in output due to "Release" event not being
ignored
- "Return" event from entering the `input -s "blah :"` still being in
the event buffer (need to be cleared before reading keypresses)
# Tests + Formatting
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` ✔️
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect -A clippy::result_large_err` ✔️
- `cargo test --workspace` ✔️
- `cargo run -- crates/nu-std/tests/run.nu` ✔️
# Description
Improves the output when running `input list` on tabular data by
aligning each column.

# Description
just a little refactoring attempt for `input list` 😌
i wanted to refactor even more, but `Select`, `MultiSelect` and
`FuzzySelect` do not share a common trait, i could not find a nice way
to reduce the big `if` block...
