# Description
Refactors `help operators` so that its output is always up to date with
the parser.
# User-Facing Changes
- The order of output rows for `help operators` was changed.
- `not` is now listed as a boolean operator instead of a comparison
operator.
- Edited some of the descriptions for the operators.
This reverts commit 0cfd5fbece.
The original PR messed up syntax higlighting of aliases and causes
panics of completion in the presence of alias.

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

# Description
Some commands in `nu-cmd-lang` are not classified as keywords even
though they should be.
# User-Facing Changes
In the output of `which`, `scope commands`, and `help commands`, some
commands will now have a `type` of `keyword` instead of `built-in`.
# Description
We've had a lot of different issues and PRs related to arg handling with
externals since the rewrite of `run-external` in #12921:
- #12950
- #12955
- #13000
- #13001
- #13021
- #13027
- #13028
- #13073
Many of these are caused by the argument handling of external calls and
`run-external` being very special and involving the parser handing
quoted strings over to `run-external` so that it knows whether to expand
tildes and globs and so on. This is really unusual and also makes it
harder to use `run-external`, and also harder to understand it (and
probably is part of the reason why it was rewritten in the first place).
This PR moves a lot more of that work over to the parser, so that by the
time `run-external` gets it, it's dealing with much more normal Nushell
values. In particular:
- Unquoted strings are handled as globs with no expand
- The unescaped-but-quoted handling of strings was removed, and the
parser constructs normal looking strings instead, removing internal
quotes so that `run-external` doesn't have to do it
- Bare word interpolation is now supported and expansion is done in this
case
- Expressions typed as `Glob` containing `Expr::StringInterpolation` now
produce `Value::Glob` instead, with the quoted status from the expr
passed through so we know if it was a bare word
- Bare word interpolation for values typed as `glob` now possible, but
not implemented
- Because expansion is now triggered by `Value::Glob(_, false)` instead
of looking at the expr, externals now support glob types
# User-Facing Changes
- Bare word interpolation works for external command options, and
otherwise embedded in other strings:
```nushell
^echo --foo=(2 + 2) # prints --foo=4
^echo -foo=$"(2 + 2)" # prints -foo=4
^echo foo="(2 + 2)" # prints (no interpolation!) foo=(2 + 2)
^echo foo,(2 + 2),bar # prints foo,4,bar
```
- Bare word interpolation expands for external command head/args:
```nushell
let name = "exa"
~/.cargo/bin/($name) # this works, and expands the tilde
^$"~/.cargo/bin/($name)" # this doesn't expand the tilde
^echo ~/($name)/* # this glob is expanded
^echo $"~/($name)/*" # this isn't expanded
```
- Ndots are now supported for the head of an external command
(`^.../foo` works)
- Glob values are now supported for head/args of an external command,
and expanded appropriately:
```nushell
^("~/.cargo/bin/exa" | into glob) # the tilde is expanded
^echo ("*.txt" | into glob) # this glob is expanded
```
- `run-external` now works more like any other command, without
expecting a special call convention
for its args:
```nushell
run-external echo "'foo'"
# before PR: 'foo'
# after PR: foo
run-external echo "*.txt"
# before PR: (glob is expanded)
# after PR: *.txt
```
# Tests + Formatting
Lots of tests added and cleaned up. Some tests that weren't active on
Windows changed to use `nu --testbin cococo` so that they can work.
Added a test for Linux only to make sure tilde expansion of commands
works, because changing `HOME` there causes `~` to reliably change.

# Description
First part of SpanID refactoring series. This PR adds a `SpanId` type
and a corresponding `span_id` field to `Expression`. Parser creating
expressions will now add them to an array in `StateWorkingSet`,
generates a corresponding ID and saves the ID to the Expression. The IDs
are not used anywhere yet.
For the rough overall plan, see
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/12963.

Fixes#13016 and adds tests for many variations of external call
parsing.
I just realized @kubouch took a crack at this too (#13022) so really
whichever is better, but I think the
tests are a good addition.
# Description
Fix a regression introduced by #12921, where tilde expansion was no
longer done on the external command name, breaking things like
```nushell
> ~/.cargo/bin/exa
```
This properly handles quoted strings, so they don't expand:
```nushell
> ^"~/.cargo/bin/exa"
Error: nu:🐚:external_command
× External command failed
╭─[entry #1:1:2]
1 │ ^"~/.cargo/bin/exa"
· ─────────┬────────
· ╰── Command `~/.cargo/bin/exa` not found
╰────
help: `~/.cargo/bin/exa` is neither a Nushell built-in or a known external command
```
This required a change to the parser, so the command name is also parsed
in the same way the arguments are - i.e. the quotes on the outside
remain in the expression. Hopefully that doesn't break anything else. 🤞Fixes#13000. Should include in patch release 0.94.1
cc @YizhePKU
# User-Facing Changes
- Tilde expansion now works again for external commands
- The `command` of `run-external` will now have its quotes removed like
the other arguments if it is a literal string
- The parser is changed to include quotes in the command expression of
`ExternalCall` if they were present
# Tests + Formatting
I would like to add a regression test for this, but it's complicated
because we need a well-known binary within the home directory, which
just isn't a thing. We could drop one there, but that's kind of a bad
behavior for a test to do. I also considered changing the home directory
for the test, but that's so platform-specific - potentially could get it
working on specific platforms though. Changing `HOME` env on Linux
definitely works as far as tilde expansion works.

# 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
Fixes: #12690
The issue is happened after
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/12056 is merged. It will raise
error if user doesn't supply required parameter when run closure with
do.
And parser adds a `$it` parameter when parsing closure or block
expression.
I believe the previous behavior is because we allow such syntax on
previous version(0.44):
```nushell
let x = { print $it }
```
But it's no longer allowed after 0.60. So I think they can be removed.
# User-Facing Changes
```nushell
let tmp = {
let it = 42
print $it
}
do -c $tmp
```
should be possible again.

# Description
This PR adds a few functions to `Span` for merging spans together:
- `Span::append`: merges two spans that are known to be in order.
- `Span::concat`: returns a span that encompasses all the spans in a
slice. The spans must be in order.
- `Span::merge`: merges two spans (no order necessary).
- `Span::merge_many`: merges an iterator of spans into a single span (no
order necessary).
These are meant to replace the free-standing `nu_protocol::span`
function.
The spans in a `LiteCommand` (the `parts`) should always be in order
based on the lite parser and lexer. So, the parser code sees the most
usage of `Span::append` and `Span::concat` where the order is known. In
other code areas, `Span::merge` and `Span::merge_many` are used since
the order between spans is often not known.
# Description
Fixes: #12691
In `parse_short_flag`, it only checks special cases for
`SyntaxShape::Int`, `SyntaxShape::Number` to allow a flag to be a
number. This pr adds `SyntaxShape::Float` to allow a flag to be float
number.

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

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

The panic can happened if we pipe a variable to a custom command which
recursively called itself inside another block.
TBH, I think I figure out how it works to panic, but I'm not sure if
there is a potention issue if nushell don't mutate a block in such case.

# Description
This PR adds a `ListItem` enum to our set of AST types. It encodes the
two possible expressions inside of list expression: a singular item or a
spread. This is similar to the existing `RecordItem` enum. Adding
`ListItem` allows us to remove the existing `Expr::Spread` case which
was previously used for list spreads. As a consequence, this guarantees
(via the type system) that spreads can only ever occur inside lists,
records, or as command args.
This PR also does a little bit of cleanup in relevant parser code.

# 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.
Manual checks are added to `parse_let`, `parse_mut`, and `parse_const`.
`parse_var_with_opt_type` is also fixed to update `spans_idx` correctly.
Fixes#12125.
It's technically a fix, but I'd rather not merge this directly. I'm
making this PR to bring into attention the code quality of the parser
code. For example:
* Inconsistent usage of `spans_idx`. What is its purpose, and which
parsing functions need it? I suspect it's possible to remove the usage
of `spans_idx` entirely.
* Lacking documentation for top-level functions. What does `mutable`
mean for `parse_var_with_opt_type()`?
* Inconsistent error reporting. Usage of both `working_set.error()` and
`working_set.parse_errors.push()`. Using `ParseError::Expected` for an
invalid variable name when there's `ParseError::VariableNotValid` (from
`parser.rs:5237`). Checking variable names manually when there's
`is_variable()` (from `parser.rs:2905`).
* `span()` is a terrible name for a function that flattens a bunch of
spans into one (from `nu-protocal/src/span.rs:92`). The top-level
comment (`Used when you have a slice of spans of at least size 1`)
doesn't help either.
I've only looked at a small portion of the parser code; I expect there
are a lot more. These issues made it much harder to fix a simple bug
like #12125. I believe we should invest some effort to cleanup the
parser code, which will ease maintainance in the future. I'll willing to
help if there is interest.
# Description
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
Fixes some ignored clippy lints.
# User-Facing Changes
Changes some signatures and return types to `&dyn Command` instead of
`&Box<dyn Command`, but I believe this is only an internal change.
# Description
As title, currently on latest main, nushell confused user if it allows
implicit casting between glob and string:
```nushell
let x = "*.txt"
def glob-test [g: glob] { open $g }
glob-test $x
```
It always expand the glob although `$x` is defined as a string.
This pr implements a solution from @kubouch :
> We could make it really strict and disallow all autocasting between
globs and strings because that's what's causing the "magic" confusion.
Then, modify all builtins that accept globs to accept oneof(glob,
string) and the rules would be that globs always expand and strings
never expand
# User-Facing Changes
After this pr, user needs to use `into glob` to invoke `glob-test`, if
user pass a string variable:
```nushell
let x = "*.txt"
def glob-test [g: glob] { open $g }
glob-test ($x | into glob)
```
Or else nushell will return an error.

# Description
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
Close: #9673Close: #8277Close: #10944
This pr introduces the following syntax:
1. `e>|`, pipe stderr to next command. Example: `$env.FOO=bar nu
--testbin echo_env_stderr FOO e>| str length`
2. `o+e>|` and `e+o>|`, pipe both stdout and stderr to next command,
example: `$env.FOO=bar nu --testbin echo_env_mixed out-err FOO FOO e+o>|
str length`
Note: it only works for external commands. ~There is no different for
internal commands, that is, the following three commands do the same
things:~ Edit: it raises errors if we want to pipes for internal
commands
```
❯ ls e>| str length
Error: × `e>|` only works with external streams
╭─[entry #1:1:1]
1 │ ls e>| str length
· ─┬─
· ╰── `e>|` only works on external streams
╰────
❯ ls e+o>| str length

╭─[entry #2:1:1]
1 │ ls e+o>| str length
· ──┬──
· ╰── `o+e>|` only works on external streams
╰────
```
This can help us to avoid some strange issues like the following:
`$env.FOO=bar (nu --testbin echo_env_stderr FOO) e>| str length`
Which is hard to understand and hard to explain to users.

Nushell panics when the spread operator is used like this (the
`...$rest` shouldn't actually be parsed as a spread operator at all):
```nu

thread 'main' panicked at /root/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/nu-protocol-0.89.0/src/signature.rs:650:9:

```
The problem was that whenever the parser saw something like `{...$`,
`{...(`, or `{...[`, it would treat that as a record with a spread
expression, ignoring the syntax shape of the block it was parsing. This
should now be fixed, and the snippet above instead gives the following
error:
```nu

# Description
This pr is a follow up to
[#11569](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/11569#issuecomment-1902279587)
> Revert the logic in https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/10694 and
apply the logic in this pr to mv, cp, rv will require a larger change, I
need to think how to achieve the bahavior
And sorry @bobhy for reverting some of your changes.
This pr is going to unify glob behavior on the given commands:
* open
* rm
* cp-old
* mv
* umv
* cp
* du
So they have the same behavior to `ls`, which is:
If given parameter is quoted by single quote(`'`) or double quote(`"`),
don't auto-expand the glob pattern. If not quoted, auto-expand the glob
pattern.
Fixes: #9558Fixes: #10211Fixes: #9310Fixes: #10364
# TODO
But there is one thing remains: if we give a variable to the command, it
will always auto-expand the glob pattern, e.g:
```nushell
let path = "a[123]b"
rm $path
```
I don't think it's expected. But I also think user might want to
auto-expand the glob pattern in variables.
So I'll introduce a new command called `glob escape`, then if user
doesn't want to auto-expand the glob pattern, he can just do this: `rm
($path | glob escape)`

## NOTE
This pr changes the semantic of `GlobPattern`, before this pr, it will
`expand path` after evaluated, this makes `nu_engine::glob_from` have no
chance to glob things right if a path contains glob pattern.
e.g: [#9310
](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/9310#issuecomment-1886824030)
#10211
I think changing the semantic is fine, because it makes glob works if
path contains something like '*'.
It maybe a breaking change if a custom command's argument are annotated
by `: glob`.
# Description
This is a follow up to: #11365

I think `ParseWarning::Deprecated` is useful when we want to deprecated
something at syntax level, so I just leave it there for now.

# Description
Fixes: #11455
### For arguments which is annotated with `:path/:directory/:glob`
To fix the issue, we need to have a way to know if a path is originally
quoted during runtime. So the information needed to be added at several
levels:
* parse time (from user input to expression)
We need to add quoted information into `Expr::Filepath`,
`Expr::Directory`, `Expr::GlobPattern`
* eval time
When convert from `Expr::Filepath`, `Expr::Directory`,
`Expr::GlobPattern` to `Value::String` during runtime, we won't auto
expanded the path if it's quoted
### For `ls`
It's really special, because it accepts a `String` as a pattern, and it
generates `glob` expression inside the command itself.
So the idea behind the change is introducing a special SyntaxShape to
ls: `SyntaxShape::LsGlobPattern`. So we can track if the pattern is
originally quoted easier, and we don't auto expand the path either.
Then when constructing a glob pattern inside ls, we check if input
pattern is quoted, if so: we escape the input pattern, so we can run `ls
a[123]b`, because it's already escaped.
Finally, to accomplish the checking process, we also need to introduce a
new value type called `Value::QuotedString` to differ from
`Value::String`, it's used to generate an enum called `NuPath`, which is
finally used in `ls` function. `ls` learned from `NuPath` to know if
user input is quoted.

This PR will allow spreading arguments to commands (both internal and
external). It will also deprecate spreading arguments automatically when
passing to external commands.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
- Users will be able to use `...` to spread arguments to custom/builtin
commands that have rest parameters or allow unknown arguments, or to any
external command
- If a custom command doesn't have a rest parameter and it doesn't allow
unknown arguments either, the spread operator will not be allowed
- Passing lists to external commands without `...` will work for now but
will cause a deprecation warning saying that it'll stop working in 0.91
(is 2 versions enough time?)
Here's a function to help with demonstrating some behavior:
```nushell
> def foo [ a, b, c?, d?, ...rest ] { [$a $b $c $d $rest] | to nuon }
```
You can pass a list of arguments to fill in the `rest` parameter using
`...`:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 4 ...[5 6]
[1, 2, 3, 4, [5, 6]]
```
If you don't use `...`, the list `[5 6]` will be treated as a single
argument:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 4 [5 6] # Note the double [[]]
[1, 2, 3, 4, [[5, 6]]]
```
You can omit optional parameters before the spread arguments:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 ...[4 5] # d is omitted here
[1, 2, 3, null, [4, 5]]
```
If you have multiple lists, you can spread them all:

Here's the kind of error you get when you try to spread arguments to a
command with no rest parameter:
And this is the warning you get when you pass a list to an external now

Added tests to cover the following cases:
- Spreading arguments to a command that doesn't have a rest parameter
(unexpected spread argument error)
- Spreading arguments to a command that doesn't have a rest parameter
*but* there's also a missing positional argument (missing positional
error)
- Spreading arguments to a command that doesn't have a rest parameter
but does allow unknown arguments, such as `exec` (allowed)
- Spreading a list literal containing arguments of the wrong type (parse
error)
- Spreading a non-list value, both to internal and external commands
- Having named arguments in the middle of rest arguments
- `explain`ing a command call that spreads its arguments

# Examples
Suppose you have multiple tables:
```nushell
let people = [[id name age]; [0 alice 100] [1 bob 200] [2 eve 300]]
let evil_twins = [[id name age]; [0 ecila 100] [-1 bob 200] [-2 eve 300]]
```
Maybe you often find yourself needing to merge multiple tables and want
a utility to do that. You could write a function like this:
```nushell
def merge_all [ ...tables ] { $tables | reduce { |it, acc| $acc | merge $it } }
```
Then you can use it like this:
```nushell
> merge_all ...([$people $evil_twins] | each { |$it| $it | select name age })
╭───┬───────┬─────╮
│ # │ name │ age │
├───┼───────┼─────┤
│ 0 │ ecila │ 100 │
│ 1 │ bob │ 200 │
│ 2 │ eve │ 300 │
╰───┴───────┴─────╯
```
Except they had duplicate columns, so now you first want to suffix every
column with a number to tell you which table the column came from. You
can make a command for that:
```nushell
def select_and_merge [ --cols: list<string>, ...tables ] {
let renamed_tables = $tables
| enumerate
| each { |it|
$it.item | select $cols | rename ...($cols | each { |col| $col + ($it.index | into string) })
};
merge_all ...$renamed_tables
}
```
And call it like this:
```nushell
> select_and_merge --cols [name age] $people $evil_twins
╭───┬───────┬──────┬───────┬──────╮
│ # │ name0 │ age0 │ name1 │ age1 │
├───┼───────┼──────┼───────┼──────┤
│ 0 │ alice │ 100 │ ecila │ 100 │
│ 1 │ bob │ 200 │ bob │ 200 │
│ 2 │ eve │ 300 │ eve │ 300 │
╰───┴───────┴──────┴───────┴──────╯
```
---
Suppose someone's made a command to search for APT packages:
```nushell
# The main command
def search-pkgs [
--install # Whether to install any packages it finds
log_level: int # Pretend it's a good idea to make this a required positional parameter
exclude?: list<string> # Packages to exclude
repositories?: list<string> # Which repositories to look in (searches in all if not given)
...pkgs # Package names to search for
] {
{ install: $install, log_level: $log_level, exclude: ($exclude | to nuon), repositories: ($repositories | to nuon), pkgs: ($pkgs | to nuon) }
}
```
It has a lot of parameters to configure it, so you might make your own
helper commands to wrap around it for specific cases. Here's one
example:
```nushell
# Only look for packages locally
def search-pkgs-local [
--install # Whether to install any packages it finds
log_level: int
exclude?: list<string> # Packages to exclude
...pkgs # Package names to search for
] {
# All required and optional positional parameters are given
search-pkgs --install=$install $log_level [] ["<local URI or something>"] ...$pkgs
}
```
And you can run it like this:
```nushell
> search-pkgs-local --install=false 5 ...["python2.7" "vim"]
╭──────────────┬──────────────────────────────╮
│ install │ false │
│ log_level │ 5 │
│ exclude │ [] │
│ repositories │ ["<local URI or something>"] │
│ pkgs │ ["python2.7", vim] │
╰──────────────┴──────────────────────────────╯
```
One thing I realized when writing this was that if we decide to not
allow passing optional arguments using the spread operator, then you can
(mis?)use the spread operator to skip optional parameters. Here, I
didn't want to give `exclude` explicitly, so I used a spread operator to
pass the packages to install. Without it, I would've needed to do
`search-pkgs-local --install=false 5 [] "python2.7" "vim"` (explicitly
pass `[]` (or `null`, in the general case) to `exclude`). There are
probably more idiomatic ways to do this, but I just thought it was
something interesting.
If you're a virologist of the [xkcd](https://xkcd.com/350/) kind,
another helper command you might make is this:
```nushell
# Install any packages it finds
def live-dangerously [ ...pkgs ] {
# One optional argument was given (exclude), while another was not (repositories)
search-pkgs 0 [] ...$pkgs --install # Flags can go after spread arguments
}
```
Running it:
```nushell
> live-dangerously "git" "*vi*" # *vi* because I don't feel like typing out vim and neovim
╭──────────────┬─────────────╮
│ install │ true │
│ log_level │ 0 │
│ exclude │ [] │
│ repositories │ null │
│ pkgs │ [git, *vi*] │
╰──────────────┴─────────────╯
```
Here's an example that uses the spread operator more than once within
the same command call:
```nushell
let extras = [ chrome firefox python java git ]
def search-pkgs-curated [ ...pkgs ] {
(search-pkgs
1
[emacs]
["example.com", "foo.com"]
vim # A must for everyone!
...($pkgs | filter { |p| not ($p | str contains "*") }) # Remove packages with globs
python # Good tool to have
...$extras
--install=false
python3) # I forget, did I already put Python in extras?
}
```
Running it:
```nushell
> search-pkgs-curated "git" "*vi*"
╭──────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ install │ false │
│ log_level │ 1 │
│ exclude │ [emacs] │
│ repositories │ [example.com, foo.com] │
│ pkgs │ [vim, git, python, chrome, firefox, python, java, git, "python3"] │

# Description
Currently, when writing a record, if you don't give the value for a
field, the syntax error highlights the entire record instead of
pinpointing the issue. Here's some examples:
```nushell
> { a: 2, 3 } # Missing colon (and value)
Error: nu::parser::parse_mismatch
× Parse mismatch during operation.
╭─[entry #2:1:1]
1 │ { a: 2, 3 }
· ─────┬─────
· ╰── expected record
╰────
> { a: 2, 3: } # Missing value
Error: nu::parser::parse_mismatch
× Parse mismatch during operation.
╭─[entry #3:1:1]
1 │ { a: 2, 3: }
· ──────┬─────
· ╰── expected record
╰────
> { a: 2, 3 4 } # Missing colon
Error: nu::parser::parse_mismatch
× Parse mismatch during operation.
╭─[entry #4:1:1]
1 │ { a: 2, 3 4 }
· ──────┬──────
· ╰── expected record
╰────
```
In all of them, the entire record is highlighted red because an
`Expr::Garbage` is returned covering that whole span:
This PR is for highlighting only the part inside the record that could
not be parsed. If the record literal is big, an error message pointing
to the start of where the parser thinks things went wrong should help
people fix their code.
# User-Facing Changes
Below are screenshots of the new errors:
If there's a stray record key right before the record ends, it
highlights only that key and tells the user it expected a colon after
it:
If the record ends before the value for the last field was given, it
highlights the key and colon of that field and tells the user it
expected a value after the colon:
If there are two consecutive expressions without a colon between them,
it highlights everything from the second expression to the end of the
record and tells the user it expected a colon. I was tempted to add a
help message suggesting adding a colon in between, but that may not
always be the right thing to do.

`Expression::replace_in_variable` is only called in one place, and it is
called with `new_var_id` = `IN_VARIABLE_ID`. So, it ends up doing
nothing. E.g., adding `debug_assert_eq!(new_var_id, IN_VARIABLE_ID)` in
`replace_in_variable` does not trigger any panic.
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking change for `nu_protocol`.
# Description
While #11057 is merged, it's hard to tell the difference between
`--flag: bool` and `--flag`, and it makes user hard to read custom
commands' signature, and hard to use them correctly.
After discussion, I think we can deprecate `--flag: bool` usage, and
encourage using `--flag` instead.

```
Goes towards implementing #10598, which asks for a spread operator in
lists, in records, and when calling commands (continuation of #11006,
which only implements it in lists)
# Description
This PR is for adding a spread operator that can be used when building
records. Additional functionality can be added later.
Changes:
- Previously, the `Expr::Record` variant held `(Expression, Expression)`
pairs. It now holds instances of an enum `RecordItem` (the name isn't
amazing) that allows either a key-value mapping or a spread operator.
- `...` will be treated as the spread operator when it appears before
`$`, `{`, or `(` inside records (no whitespace allowed in between) (not
implemented yet)
- The error message for duplicate columns now includes the column name
itself, because if two spread records are involved in such an error, you
can't tell which field was duplicated from the spans alone
`...` will still be treated as a normal string outside records, and even
in records, it is not treated as a spread operator when not followed
immediately by a `$`, `{`, or `(`.
# User-Facing Changes
Users will be able to use `...` when building records.
```
> let rec = { x: 1, ...{ a: 2 } }
> $rec
╭───┬───╮
│ x │ 1 │
│ a │ 2 │
╰───┴───╯

╭─────┬──────╮
│ foo │ bar │
│ x │ 1 │
│ a │ 2 │
│ baz │ blah │
╰─────┴──────╯
```
If you want to update a field of a record, you'll have to use `merge`
instead:
```
> { ...$rec, x: 5 }
Error: nu:🐚:column_defined_twice
× Record field or table column used twice: x
╭─[entry #2:1:1]
1 │ { ...$rec, x: 5 }

Close: #10278
This pr introduces `o>>`, `e>>`, `o+e>>` to allow redirection to append
to a file.
Examples:
```nushell
echo abc o>> a.txt
echo abc o>> a.txt
cat asdf e>> a.txt
cat asdf e>> a.txt
cat asdf o+e>> a.txt
```
~~TODO:~~
~~1. currently internal commands with `o+e>` redirect to a variable is
broken: `let x = "a.txt"; echo abc o+e> $x`, not sure when it was
introduced...~~
~~2. redirect stdout and stderr with append mode doesn't supported yet:
`cat asdf o>>a.txt e>>b.ext`~~
~~For these 2 items, I'd like to fix them in different prs.~~
Already done in this pr
# Description
Closes: #7260
About the change:
When we make an internalcall, and meet a `switch` (Flag.arg is None),
nushell will try to see if the switch is called like `--xyz=false` , if
that is true, `parse_long_flag` will return relative value.
# User-Facing Changes
So after the pr, the following would be possible:
```nushell
def build-imp [--push, --release] {
echo $"Doing a build with push: ($push) and release: ($release)"
}
def build [--push, --release] {
build-imp --push=$push --release=$release
}
build --push --release=false
build --push=false --release=true
build --push=false --release=false
build --push --release

Fixes: #11033
Sorry for the issue, it's a regression which introduce by this pr:
#10456.
And this pr is going to fix it.
About the change: create a new field named `type_annotated` for
`Arg::Flag` and `Arg::Signature` instead of `arg_explicit_type`
variable.
When we meet a type in `TypeMode`, we set `type_annotated` field of the
argument to be true, then we know that if the arg have a annotated type
easily
# 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.

Fix type checking in arguments default values not adhering to subtyping
rules
Currently following examples produce a parse error:
```nu
def test [ --qwe: record<a: int> = {a: 1 b: 1} ] { }
def test [ --qwe: list<any> = [ 1 2 3 ] ] { }
```
despite types matching. Type equality check is replaced with subtyping
check and everything parses fine:
# User-Facing Changes
Default values of flag arguments type checking behavior is in line with
`let` statements
# Description
This PR fixes#9702 on the side of parse. I.e. input/output types in
signature and type annotations in `let` now should correctly parse with
type annotations that contain commas and spaces:
# User-Facing Changes

`table<a: int b: record<c: string d: datetime>>` e.t.c
# Description
Fixes: #10450
This pr differentiating between `--x: bool` and `--x`
Here are examples which demostrate difference between them:
```nushell
def a [--x: bool] { $x };
a --x # not allowed, you need to parse a value to the flag.
a # it's allowed, and the value of `$x` is false, which behaves the same to `def a [--x] { $x }; a`
```
For boolean flag with default value, it works a little bit different to
#10450 mentioned:
```nushell
def foo [--option: bool = false] { $option }
foo # output false
foo --option # not allowed, you need to parse a value to the flag.
foo --option true # output true
```
# User-Facing Changes
After the pr, the following code is not allowed:
```nushell
def a [--x: bool] { $x }; a --x
```
Instead, you have to pass a value to flag `--x` like `a --x false`. But
bare flag works in the same way as before.
## Update: one more breaking change to help on #7260
```
def foo [--option: bool] { $option == null }
foo
```
After the pr, if we don't use a boolean flag, the value will be `null`
instead of `true`. Because here `--option: bool` is treated as a flag
rather than a switch

where `parse_paren_expr` calls `parse_range` in turn. Because at any
time in the chain `parse_paren_expr` can call `parse_range`, which will
then continue the chain, we get quadratic number of function calls, each
linear on the size of the input
By checking with the lexer that the parens are matched, we prevent the
long chain from being called on unmatched braces. Now, this is still
more quadratic than it needs to be, to fix that, we should process
parens only once, instead of on each recursive call

# Other notes
Found using the fuzzer, by setting a timeout on max run-time. It also
found a stack-overflow on too many parentheses, which this doesn't fix.
# Description
Fixes: #10410
So the following script is possible:
```nushell
def a [b: any = null] { let b = ($b | default "default_b"); }
a "given_b"
```
## About the change
When parsing signature, and nushell meets something like `a: any`, it
force the parser to treat `a` as `any` type. This is what
`arg_explicit_type` means, it's only set when we goes into
`ParseMode::TypeMode`, and it will be reset to `false` if the token goes
to next argument.
so, when we have something like this: `def a [b: any = null] { $b }`,
the type of `$b` won't be overwritten.
But if we have something like this: `def a [b = null] { $b }`, the type
of `$b` is not annotated, so we make it to be `nothing`(which is the
type of null)

Before this change, parsing `[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[` would cause nushell
to consume several gigabytes of memory, now it should be linear in time.
The old code first tried parsing the head of the table as a list and
then after that it checked if it got more arguments. If it didn't, it
throws away the previous result and tries to parse the whole thing as a
list, which means we call `parse_list_expression` twice for each call to
`parse_table_expression`, resulting in the exponential growth
The fix is to simply check that we have all the arguments we need before
parsing the head of the table, so we know that we will either call
parse_list_expression only on sub-expressions or on the whole thing,
never both.

# Description
We made the decision that our floating point type should be referred to
as `float` over `decimal`.
Commands were updated by #9979 and #10320
Now make the internal codebase consistent in referring to this data type
as `float`.
Work for #10332
# User-Facing Changes
`decimal` has been removed as a type name/symbol.
Instead of
```nushell
def foo [bar: decimal] decimal -> decimal {}
```
use
```nushell
def foo [bar: float] float -> float {}
```
Potential effect of `SyntaxShape`'s `Display` implementation now also
referring to `float` instead of `decimal`
# Details
- Rename `SyntaxShape::Decimal` to `Float`
- Update `Display for SyntaxShape` to `float`
- Update error message + fn name in dataframe code
- Fix docs in command examples
- Rename tests that are float specific
- Update doccomment on `SyntaxShape`

Fix https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/10136
# Description
Current nushell only handle path containing '*' as match pattern and
treat '?' as just normal path.
This pr makes path containing '?' is also processed as pattern.
🔴 **Concerns: Need to design/comfirm a consistent rule to handle
dirs/files with '?' in their names.**
Currently:
- if no dir has exactly same name with pattern, it will print the list
of matched directories
- if pattern exactly matches an empty dir's name, it will just print the
empty dir's content ( i.e. `[]`)
- if pattern exactly matches an dir's name, it will perform pattern
match and print all the dir contains
e.g.
```bash
mkdir src
ls s?c
```
| name | type | size | modified |
| ---- | ---- | ------ | --------------------------------------------- |
| src | dir | 1.1 KB | Tue, 29 Aug 2023 07:39:41 +0900 (9 hours ago) |

# Description
nushell crashes in the following 2 condition:
- `let a = {}` , then delete `{`
- `let a = | {}`, then delete `{`
When delete `{` the pipeline becomes empty but current `nu-parser`
assume they are non-empty. This pr adds extra empty check to avoid
crash.

https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9773 introduced constants to
modules and allowed to export them, but only within one level. This PR:
* allows recursive exporting of constants from all submodules
* fixes submodule imports in a list import pattern
* makes sure exported constants are actual constants
Should unblock https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9678
### Example:
```nushell
module spam {
export module eggs {
export module bacon {
export const viking = 'eats'
}
}
}
use spam
print $spam.eggs.bacon.viking # prints 'eats'
use spam [eggs]
print $eggs.bacon.viking # prints 'eats'
use spam eggs bacon viking
print $viking # prints 'eats'
```
### Limitation 1:
Considering the above `spam` module, attempting to get `eggs bacon` from
`spam` module doesn't work directly:
```nushell
use spam [ eggs bacon ] # attempts to load `eggs`, then `bacon`
use spam [ "eggs bacon" ] # obviously wrong name for a constant, but doesn't work also for commands
```
Workaround (for example):
```nushell
use spam eggs
use eggs [ bacon ]
print $bacon.viking # prints 'eats'
```
I'm thinking I'll just leave it in, as you can easily work around this.
It is also a limitation of the import pattern in general, not just
constants.
### Limitation 2:
`overlay use` successfully imports the constants, but `overlay hide`
does not hide them, even though it seems to hide normal variables
successfully. This needs more investigation.

This PR should close#8036, #9028 (in the negative) and #9118.
Fix for #9118 is a bit pedantic. As reported, the issue is:
```
> 2023-05-07T04:08:45+12:00 - 2019-05-10T09:59:12+12:00
3yr 12month 2day 18hr 9min 33sec
```
with this PR, you now get:
```
> 2023-05-07T04:08:45+12:00 - 2019-05-10T09:59:12+12:00
208wk 1day 18hr 9min 33sec
```
Which is strictly correct, but could still fairly be called "weird date
arithmetic".
# Description
* [x] Abide by constraint that Value::Duration remains a number of
nanoseconds with no additional fields.
* [x] `to_string()` only displays weeks .. nanoseconds. Duration doesn't
have base date to compute months or years from.
* [x] `duration | into record` likewise only has fields for weeks ..
nanoseconds.
* [x] `string | into duration` now accepts compound form of duration
to_string() (e.g '2day 3hr`, not just '2day')
* [x] `duration | into string` now works (and produces the same
representation as to_string(), which may be compound).
# User-Facing Changes
## duration -> string -> duration
Now you can "round trip" an arbitrary duration value: convert it to a
string that may include multiple time units (a "compound" value), then
convert that string back into a duration. This required changes to
`string | into duration` and the addition of `duration | into string'.
```
> 2day + 3hr
2day 3hr # the "to_string()" representation (in this case, a compound value)
> 2day + 3hr | into string
2day 3hr # string value
> 2day + 3hr | into string | into duration
2day 3hr # round-trip duration -> string -> duration
```
Note that `to nuon` and `from nuon` already round-tripped durations, but
use a different string representation.
## potentially breaking changes
* string rendering of a duration no longer has 'yr' or 'month' phrases.
* record from `duration | into record` no longer has 'year' or 'month'
fields.
The excess duration is all lumped into the `week` field, which is the
largest time unit you can
convert to without knowing the datetime from which the duration was
calculated.
Scripts that depended on month or year time units on output will need to
be changed.
### Examples
```
> 365day
52wk 1day
## Used to be:
## 1yr
> 365day | into record
╭──────┬────╮
│ week │ 52 │
│ day │ 1 │
│ sign │ + │
╰──────┴────╯
## used to be:
##╭──────┬───╮
##│ year │ 1 │
##│ sign │ + │
##╰──────┴───╯
> (365day + 4wk + 5day + 6hr + 7min + 8sec + 9ms + 10us + 11ns)
56wk 6day 6hr 7min 8sec 9ms 10µs 11ns
## used to be:
## 1yr 1month 3day 6hr 7min 8sec 9ms 10µs 11ns
## which looks reasonable, but was actually only correct in 75% of the years and 25% of the months in the last 4 years.
> (365day + 4wk + 5day + 6hr + 7min + 8sec + 9ms + 10us + 11ns) | into record
╭─────────────┬────╮
│ week │ 56 │
│ day │ 6 │
│ hour │ 6 │
│ minute │ 7 │
│ second │ 8 │
│ millisecond │ 9 │
│ microsecond │ 10 │
│ nanosecond │ 11 │
│ sign │ + │
╰─────────────┴────╯
```
Strictly speaking, these changes could break an existing user script.
Losing years and months as time units is arguably a regression in
behavior.
Also, the corrected duration calculation could break an existing script
that was calibrated using the old algorithm.

Relative: #8248
After this pr, user can define const variable inside a module.
And user can export const variables, the following screenshot shows how
it works (it follows
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8248#issuecomment-1637442612):
## About the change
1. To make module support const, we need to change `parse_module_block`
to support `const` keyword.
2. To suport export `const`, we need to make module tracking variables,
so we add `variables` attribute to `Module`
3. During eval, the const variable may not exists in `stack`, because we
don't eval `const` when we define a module, so we need to find variables
which are already registered in `engine_state`
## One more thing to note about the const value.
Consider the following code
```
module foo { const b = 3; export def bar [] { $b } }
use foo bar
const b = 4;
bar
```
The result will be 3 (which is defined in module) rather than 4. I think
it's expected behavior.
It's something like [dynamic
binding](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Dynamic-Binding-Tips.html)
vs [lexical
binding](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Lexical-Binding.html)
in lisp like language, and lexical binding should be right behavior
which generates more predicable result, and it doesn't introduce really
subtle bugs in nushell code.
What if user want dynamic-binding?(For example: the example code returns
`4`)
There is no way to do this, user should consider passing the value as
argument to custom command rather than const.
## TODO
- [X] adding tests for the feature.
- [X] support export const out of module to use.

# Description
Previously, we had a bug slip in about implied collection caused by
`$in`, that this output type would be of type `string`.
The type system fixes in 0.83 now make this more visible and cause
issues. This PR changes the output of the implied collection to `any`.
At some point in the future, we may want to carry the type through where
we can, but `any` should unblock using `$in`.

# Description
This fixes the variable capture logic for closures in two cases:
* Closures inside of closures did not properly register the closures (or
lack thereof) in the outer closure
* Closures which called their inner closures before definition did not
properly calculate the closures of the outer closure
Example of the first case:
```
do { let b = 3; def c [] { $b }; c }
```
Example of the second case (notice `c` is called before it is defined):
```
do { let b = 3; c; def c [] { $b }; c }
```
# User-Facing Changes
This should strictly allow closures to work more correctly.

## About the change
Before the pr, nushell only parse redirection target as a string(through
`parse_string` call).
In the pr, I'm trying to make the value more generic(using `parse_value`
with `SyntaxShape::Any`)
And during eval stage, we guard it to only eval `String`,
`StringInterpolation`, `FullCellPath`, `FilePath`, so other type of
redirection target like `1ms` won't be permitted.
# User-Facing Changes
After the pr: redirection support something like the following:
1. `let a = "x"; cat toolkit.nu o> $a`
2. `let a = "x"; cat toolkit.nu o> $"($a).txt"`
3. `cat toolkit.nu out> ("~/a.txt" | path expand)`
## description
this pr adds [match
guards](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/expressions/match-expr.html#match-guards)
to match patterns
```nushell
match $x {
_ if $x starts-with 'nu' => {},
$x => {}
}
```
these work pretty much like rust's match guards, with few limitations:
1. multiple matches using the `|` are not (yet?) supported
```nushell
match $num {
0 | _ if (is-odd $num) => {},
_ => {}
}
```
2. blocks cannot be used as guards, (yet?)
```nushell
match $num {
$x if { $x ** $x == inf } => {},
_ => {}
}
```

# Description
This adds input/output types to custom commands. These are input/output
pairs that related an input type to an output type.
For example (a single int-to-int input/output pair):
```
def foo []: int -> int { ... }
```
You can also have multiple input/output pairs:
```
def bar []: [int -> string, string -> list<string>] { ... }
```
These types are checked during definition time in the parser. If the
block does not match the type, the user will get a parser error.
This `:` to begin the input/output signatures should immediately follow
the argument signature as shown above.
The PR also improves type parsing by re-using the shape parser. The
shape parser is now the canonical way to parse types/shapes in user
code.
This PR also splits `extern` into `extern`/`extern-wrapped` because of
the parser limitation that a multi-span argument (which Signature now
is) can't precede an optional argument. `extern-wrapped` now takes the
required block that was previously optional.
# User-Facing Changes
The change to `extern` to split into `extern` and `extern-wrapped` is a
breaking change.

# Description
This PR tights input/output type-checking a bit more. There are a lot of
commands that don't have correct input/output types, so part of the
effort is updating them.
This PR now contains updates to commands that had wrong input/output
signatures. It doesn't add examples for these new signatures, but that
can be follow-up work.
# User-Facing Changes
BREAKING CHANGE BREAKING CHANGE
This work enforces many more checks on pipeline type correctness than
previous nushell versions. This strictness may uncover incompatibilities
in existing scripts or shortcomings in the type information for internal
commands.

# Description
This PR removes the compile-time overload system. Unfortunately, this
system never worked correctly because in a gradual type system where
types can be `Any`, you don't have enough information to correctly
resolve function calls with overloads. These resolutions must be done at
runtime, if they're supported.
That said, there's a bit of work that needs to go into resolving
input/output types (here overloads do not execute separate commands, but
the same command and each overload explains how each output type
corresponds to input types).
This PR also removes the type scope, which would give incorrect answers
in cases where multiple subexpressions were used in a pipeline.
# User-Facing Changes
Finishes removing compile-time overloads. These were only used in a few
places in the code base, but it's possible it may impact user code. I'll
mark this as breaking change so we can review.

# Description
- A new one is the removal of unnecessary `#` in raw strings without `"`
inside.
-
https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#/needless_raw_string_hashes
- The automatically applied removal of `.into_iter()` touched several
places where #9648 will change to the use of the record API. If
necessary I can remove them @IanManske to avoid churn with this PR.
- Manually applied `.try_fold` in two places
- Removed a dead `if`
- Manual: Combat rightward-drift with early return
# Description
This extends the syntax fix for `let` (#9589) to `mut` as well.
Example: `mut x = "hello world" | str length; print $x`
closes#9634
# User-Facing Changes
`mut` now joins `let` in being able to be assigned from a pipeline

# Description
follow up to #8529 and #8914
this works very similarly to record annotations, only difference being
that
```sh
table<name: string>
^^^^ ^^^^^^
| |
| represents the type of the items in that column
|
represents the column name
```
more info on the syntax can be found
[here](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/8914#issue-1672113520)
# User-Facing Changes
**[BREAKING CHANGE]**
this change adds a field to `SyntaxShape::Table` so any plugins that
used it will have to update and include the field. though if you are
unsure of the type the table expects, `SyntaxShape::Table(vec![])` will
suffice
# Description
This changes the default behaviour of `let` to be able to take a
pipeline as its initial value.
For example:
```
> let x = "hello world" | str length
```
This is a change from the existing behaviour, where the right hand side
is assumed to be an expression. Pipelines are more general, and can be
more powerful.
My google foo is failing me, but this also fixes this issue:
```
let x = foo
```
Currently, this reads `foo` as a bareword that gets converted to a
string rather than running the `foo` command. In practice, this is
really annoying and is a really hard to spot bug in a script.
# User-Facing Changes
BREAKING CHANGE BREAKING CHANGE
`let` gains the power to be assigned via a pipeline. However, this
changes the behaviour of `let x = foo` from assigning the string "foo"
to `$x` to being "run the command `foo` and give the result to `$x`"

# Description
This PR disallows blocks as first-class values by removing the ability
to create them using the `block` syntax shape or type. Now, the parser
will only ever be able to create closures as first-class values.
This means that `{ 3 }` will always be treated as a closure, unless used
in the specifically supported use case of the literal being given as an
arg to `for`, `if` and other built-in block users.
Note: first-class value here means "value that can be passed into
commands and held in variables"
# User-Facing Changes
This may break some user scripts as `: block` is no longer allows as a
type annotation. Note: these cases were not actually supported before,
as, for example, passing a block that accessed a variable would have
errored when the block was later evaluated.
Closures do not have the restriction mentioned above and are the much
safer value to pass as first-class, so now they are the only block-like
value to be allowed to be passed.

# Description
For years, Nushell has used `let-env` to set a single environment
variable. As our work on scoping continued, we refined what it meant for
a variable to be in scope using `let` but never updated how `let-env`
would work. Instead, `let-env` confusingly created mutations to the
command's copy of `$env`.
So, to help fix the mental model and point people to the right way of
thinking about what changing the environment means, this PR removes
`let-env` to encourage people to think of it as updating the command's
environment variable via mutation.
Before:
```
let-env FOO = "BAR"
```
Now:
```
$env.FOO = "BAR"
```
It's also a good reminder that the environment owned by the command is
in the `$env` variable rather than global like it is in other shells.
# User-Facing Changes
BREAKING CHANGE BREAKING CHANGE
This completely removes `let-env FOO = "BAR"` so that we can focus on
`$env.FOO = "BAR"`.

# Description
This PR does a few things to help improve type hovers and, in the
process, fixes a few outstanding issues in the type system. Here's a
list of the changes:
* `for` now will try to infer the type of the iteration variable based
on the expression it's given. This fixes things like `for x in [1, 2, 3]
{ }` where `x` now properly gets the int type.
* Removed old input/output type fields from the signature, focuses on
the vec of signatures. Updated a bunch of dataframe commands that hadn't
moved over. This helps tie things together a bit better
* Fixed inference of types from subexpressions to use the last
expression in the block
* Fixed handling of explicit types in `let` and `mut` calls, so we now
respect that as the authoritative type
I also tried to add `def` input/output type inference, but unfortunately
we only know the predecl types universally, which means we won't have
enough information to properly know what the types of the custom
commands are.
# User-Facing Changes
Script typechecking will get tighter in some cases
Hovers should be more accurate in some cases that previously resorted to
any.
