Nushell panics when the spread operator is used like this (the
`...$rest` shouldn't actually be parsed as a spread operator at all):
```nu
$ def foo [...rest: string] {...$rest}
$ foo bar baz
thread 'main' panicked at /root/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/nu-protocol-0.89.0/src/signature.rs:650:9:
Internal error: can't run a predeclaration without a body

note: Some details are omitted, run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` for a verbose backtrace.
```
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
Error: nu:🐚:external_command
× External command failed

# User-Facing Changes

Stuff like `do { ...$rest }` will now try to run a command `...$rest`
rather than complaining that variable `$rest` doesn't exist.

# 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.

# Description
Adds a CLI flag for nushell that disables reading and writing to the
history file. This will be useful for future testing and possibly our
users as well. To borrow `fish` shell's terminology, this allows users
to start nushell in "private" mode.
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking API change for `nu-protocol` (changed `Config`).
# Description / User-Facing Changes
Signals are no longer blocked for child processes launched from both
interactive and non-interactive mode. The only exception is that
`SIGTSTP`, `SIGTTIN`, and `SIGTTOU` remain blocked for child processes
launched only from **interactive** mode. This is to help prevent nushell
from getting into an unrecoverable state, since we don't support
background jobs. Anyways, this fully fixes#9026.
# Other Notes
- Needs Rust version `>= 1.66` for a fix in
`std::process::Command::spawn`, but it looks our current Rust version is
way above this.
- Uses `sigaction` instead of `signal`, since the behavior of `signal`
can apparently differ across systems. Also, the `sigaction` man page
says:
> The sigaction() function supersedes the signal() function, and should
be used in preference.
Additionally, using both `sigaction` and `signal` is not recommended.
Since we were already using `sigaction` in some places (and possibly
some of our dependencies as well), this PR replaces all usages of
`signal`.
# Tests
Might want to wait for #11178 for testing.
# Description
When nushell calls a plugin it now sends a configuration `Value` from
the nushell config under `$env.config.plugins.PLUGIN_SHORT_NAME`. This
allows plugin authors to read configuration provided by plugin users.
The `PLUGIN_SHORT_NAME` must match the registered filename after
`nu_plugin_`. If you register `target/debug/nu_plugin_config` the
`PLUGIN_NAME` will be `config` and the nushell config will loook like:
$env.config = {
# ...
plugins: {
config: [
some
values
]
}
}
Configuration may also use a closure which allows passing values from
`$env` to a plugin:
$env.config = {
# ...
plugins: {
config: {||
$env.some_value
}
}
}
This is a breaking change for the plugin API as the `Plugin::run()`
function now accepts a new configuration argument which is an
`&Option<Value>`. If no configuration was supplied the value is `None`.
Plugins compiled after this change should work with older nushell, and
will behave as if the configuration was not set.
Initially discussed in #10867
# User-Facing Changes
* Plugins can read configuration data stored in `$env.config.plugins`
* The plugin `CallInfo` now includes a `config` entry, existing plugins
will require updates

# Description
Fixes: #11438
Take the following as example:
```nushell
def spam [foo: string] {
$'foo: ($foo | describe)'
}
def outer [--foo: string] {
spam $foo
}
outer
```
When we call `outer`, type checker only check the all for `outer`, but
doesn't check inside the body of `outer`. This pr is trying to introduce
a type checking process through `Type::is_subtype()` during eval time.
## NOTE
I'm not really sure if it's easy to make a check inside the body of
`outer`. Adding an eval time type checker seems like an easier solution.
As a result: `outer` will be caught by runtime, not parse time type
checker

Finishes implementing https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/10598,
which asks for a spread operator in lists, in records, and when calling
commands.

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:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 ...[4 5] 6 7 ...[8] ...[]
[1, 2, 3, null, [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]]
```
Here's the kind of error you get when you try to spread arguments to a
command with no rest parameter:
![image](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/assets/45539777/93faceae-00eb-4e59-ac3f-17f98436e6e4)
And this is the warning you get when you pass a list to an external now
(without `...`):

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] │

# 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:
![image](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/assets/45539777/36660b50-23be-4353-b180-3f84eff3c220)
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:
![image](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/assets/45539777/94503256-8ea2-47dd-b69a-4b520c66f7b6)
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:
![image](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/assets/45539777/2f3837ec-3b35-4b81-8c57-706f8056ac04)
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.

While #11057 is merged, it's hard to tell the difference between

encourage using `--flag` instead.

# Description
This PR is kind of two PRs in one because they were dependent on each
other.
PR1 -
3de58d4dc2
with update
7fcdb242d9
- This follows our mantra of having everything with defaults written in
nushell rust code. So, that if you run without a config, you get the
same behavior as with the default config/env files. This sets
NU_LIB_DIRS to $nu.config-path/scripts and sets NU_PLUGIN_DIRS to
$nu.config-path/plugins.
PR2 -
0e8ac876fd
- The benchmarks have been broke for some time and we didn't notice it.
This PR fixes that. It's dependent on PR1 because it was throwing errors
because PWD needed to be set to a valid folder and `$nu` did not exist
based on how the benchmark was setup.
I've tested the benchmarks and they run without error now and I've also
launched nushell as `nu -n --no-std-lib` and the env vars exist.

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 } }
> $rec
╭───┬───╮
│ x │ 1 │
│ a │ 2 │
╰───┴───╯
> { foo: bar, ...$rec, baz: blah }
╭─────┬──────╮
│ 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 }

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

# Description
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
The `color-backtrace` crate does not seem to either handle the terminal
modes well or operate in a way that the unwinding has not yet succeeded
to reach the backup disablement of the terminal raw mode in
`reedline::Reedline`'s `Drop` implementation.
This reverts commit d838871063.
Fixes#11029
This pull request fixes the tests for the `cargo.exe check` command. The
tests were failing due `cargo check -h` sometimes reporting `cargo.exe`
as the binary and thus not containing `cargo check` in the output.
The fix involves using the `Command` module from the `std::process`
library to run the command and comparing its output to the expected
output. No changes were made to the codebase itself.
# 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
Pretty much all operations/commands in Nushell assume that the column
names/keys in a record and thus also in a table (which consists of a
list of records) are unique.
Access through a string-like cell path should refer to a single column
or key/value pair and our output through `table` will only show the last
mention of a repeated column name.
```nu
[[a a]; [1 2]]
╭─#─┬─a─╮
│ 0 │ 2 │
╰───┴───╯
```
While the record parsing already either errors with the
`ShellError::ColumnDefinedTwice` or silently overwrites the first
occurence with the second occurence, the table literal syntax `[[header
columns]; [val1 val2]]` currently still allowed the creation of tables
(and internally records with more than one entry with the same name.
This is not only confusing, but also breaks some assumptions around how
we can efficiently perform operations or in the past lead to outright
bugs (e.g. #8431 fixed by #8446).
This PR proposes to make this an error.
After this change another hole which allowed the construction of records
with non-unique column names will be plugged.
## Parts
- Fix `SE::ColumnDefinedTwice` error code
- Remove previous tests permitting duplicate columns
- Deny duplicate column in table literal eval
- Deny duplicate column in const eval
- Deny duplicate column in `from nuon`
# User-Facing Changes
`[[a a]; [1 2]]` will now return an error:
```
Error: nu:🐚:column_defined_twice

╭─[entry #2:1:1]
1 │ [[a a]; [1 2]]
· ┬ ┬
· │ ╰── field redefined here
· ╰── field first defined here
╰────
```
this may under rare circumstances block code from evaluating.
Furthermore this makes some NUON files invalid if they previously
contained tables with repeated column names.
# Tests + Formatting
Added tests for each of the different evaluation paths that materialize
tables.
# Description
This PR corrects some help text by stating what the real delimiter is
for the `--include-path` command line parameter which is `char
record_sep` aka `\x1e`. Up to this point, this has really only been used
for the vscode extension to setup the NU_LIB_DIRS env var correctly. We
tried `:` and `;` and neither would work so we had to choose something
that wouldn't be confused so easily.

# Description
Relax typechecking of key-less `table`/`record`
Assume that they are acceptable for more narrowly specified
`table<...>`/`record<...>` where `...` specifies keys and potentially
types for those keys/columns.
This ensures that you can use commands that specify general return
values statically with more specific input-/args-type requirements.
Reduces the power of the type-check a bit but unlocks you to actually
use the specific annotations in more places.
Incompatibilities will only be raised if an output type declares
specific columns/keys.

# Description
because we already have `null` as the value of the type `nothing` and as
a followup to the two other attempts of mine, i propose to remove the
redundant `$nothing` built-in variable 😋
this PR is the first step, deprecating `$nothing`.
a followup PR will remove it altogether and wait for 0.87 👍⚙️ **details**: a new `NOTHING_VARIABLE_ID = 3` has been added,
parsing `$nothing` will create it, finally a `Value::Nothing` will be
produced and a warning will be reported.
this PR already fixes the `toolkit.nu` module so that it does not throw
a bunch of warnings each time 👌

- `nothing_fails_int`
which use a variable called `nil` now to make sure `nothing` does not
support cell paths 👍
# After Submitting
classic deprecation mention 👍
# 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

# Description
This PR fixes a bug found by @kubouch where `$nu` is not evaluated as a
constant when the `--ide-check` parameter is passed to nushell for the
LSP-like functionality. Not quite sure my changes are proper but it
seems to work!

# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use std testing; testing run-tests --path
crates/nu-std"` to run the tests for the standard library
> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
