# Description
Fixes the lexer to recognize `out>|`, `err>|`, `out+err>|`, etc.
Previously only the short-style forms were recognized, which was
inconsistent with normal file redirections.
I also integrated it all more into the normal lex path by checking `|`
in a special way, which should be more performant and consistent, and
cleans up the code a bunch.
Closes#13331.
# User-Facing Changes
- Adds `out>|` (error), `err>|`, `out+err>|`, `err+out>|` as recognized
forms of the pipe redirection.
# Tests + Formatting
All passing. Added tests for the new forms.

Exotic types like `Duration` and `Filesize` return a float on division
by the same type, i.e., the unit is gone since division results in a
scalar. When using the modulo operator, the output type has the same
unit.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This

Division results in a float like the following:
```sh
~/Public/nushell> 512sec / 3sec
170.66666666666666
```
Modulo results in an output with the same unit:
```sh
~/Public/nushell> 512sec mod 3sec
2sec
```
Type checking isn't confused with output types:
```sh
~/Public/nushell> (512sec mod 3sec) / 0.5sec
4
```

# 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
This allows plugins to report their version (and potentially other
metadata in the future). The version is shown in `plugin list` and in
`version`.
The metadata is stored in the registry file, and reflects whatever was
retrieved on `plugin add`, not necessarily the running binary. This can
help you to diagnose if there's some kind of mismatch with what you
expect. We could potentially use this functionality to show a warning or
error if a plugin being run does not have the same version as what was
in the cache file, suggesting `plugin add` be run again, but I haven't
done that at this point.
It is optional, and it requires the plugin author to make some code
changes if they want to provide it, since I can't automatically
determine the version of the calling crate or anything tricky like that
to do it.
Example:
```
> plugin list | select name version is_running pid
╭───┬────────────────┬─────────┬────────────┬─────╮
│ # │ name │ version │ is_running │ pid │
├───┼────────────────┼─────────┼────────────┼─────┤

# 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.

- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`

# 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.

The issue is caused by an empty position of `ParseError::UnexpectedEof`.
So no detailed message is displayed.
To fix the issue, I adjust the start of span to `span.end - 1`. In this
way, we can make sure that it never points to an empty position.
After lexing item, I also reorder the unclosed character checking . Now
it will be checking unclosed opening delimiters first.

Our current flattening code creates a bunch of intermediate `Vec`s for
each function call. These intermediate `Vec`s are then usually appended
to the current `output` `Vec`. By instead passing a mutable reference of
the `output` `Vec` to each flattening function, this `Vec` can be
reused/appended to directly thereby eliminating the need for
intermediate `Vec`s in most cases.

returns potentially un-canonicalized paths. Refer to PR #12515 for
motivations.
## New API: `EngineState::cwd()`
The goal of the new API is to cover both parse-time and runtime use
case, and avoid unintentional misuse. It takes an `Option<Stack>` as
argument, which if supplied, will search for `$env.PWD` on the stack in
additional to the engine state. I think with this design, there's less
confusion over parse-time and runtime environments. If you have access
to a stack, just supply it; otherwise supply `None`.
## Deprecation of other PWD-related APIs
Other APIs are re-implemented using `EngineState::cwd()` and properly
documented. They're marked deprecated, but their behavior is unchanged.
Unused APIs are deleted, and code that accesses `$env.PWD` directly
without using an API is rewritten.
Deprecated APIs:
* `EngineState::current_work_dir()`
* `StateWorkingSet::get_cwd()`
* `env::current_dir()`
* `env::current_dir_str()`
* `env::current_dir_const()`
* `env::current_dir_str_const()`
Other changes:
* `EngineState::get_cwd()` (deleted)
* `StateWorkingSet::list_env()` (deleted)
* `repl::do_run_cmd()` (rewritten with `env::current_dir_str()`)
## `cd` and `pwd` now use logical paths by default
This pulls the changes from PR #12515. It's currently somewhat broken
because using non-canonicalized paths exposed a bug in our path
normalization logic (Issue #12602). Once that is fixed, this should
work.
## Future plans
This PR needs some tests. Which test helpers should I use, and where
should I put those tests?
I noticed that unquoted paths are expanded within `eval_filepath()` and
`eval_directory()` before they even reach the `cd` command. This means
every paths is expanded twice. Is this intended?
Once this PR lands, the plan is to review all usages of the deprecated
APIs and migrate them to `EngineState::cwd()`. In the meantime, these
usages are annotated with `#[allow(deprecated)]` to avoid breaking CI.

# 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
This breaks `nu-plugin` up into four crates:
- `nu-plugin-protocol`: just the type definitions for the protocol, no
I/O. If someone wanted to wire up something more bare metal, maybe for
async I/O, they could use this.
- `nu-plugin-core`: the shared stuff between engine/plugin. Less stable
interface.
- `nu-plugin-engine`: everything required for the engine to talk to
plugins. Less stable interface.
- `nu-plugin`: everything required for the plugin to talk to the engine,
what plugin developers use. Should be the most stable interface.
No changes are made to the interface exposed by `nu-plugin` - it should
all still be there. Re-exports from `nu-plugin-protocol` or
`nu-plugin-core` are used as required. Plugins shouldn't ever have to
use those crates directly.
This should be somewhat faster to compile as `nu-plugin-engine` and
`nu-plugin` can compile in parallel, and the engine doesn't need
`nu-plugin` and plugins don't need `nu-plugin-engine` (except for test
support), so that should reduce what needs to be compiled too.
The only significant change here other than splitting stuff up was to
break the `source` out of `PluginCustomValue` and create a new
`PluginCustomValueWithSource` type that contains that instead. One bonus
of that is we get rid of the option and it's now more type-safe, but it
also means that the logic for that stuff (actually running the plugin
for custom value ops) can live entirely within the `nu-plugin-engine`
crate.
# User-Facing Changes

- Added `local-socket` feature for `nu` to try to make it possible to
compile without that support if needed.

So far this seems like the winner of my poll on what the name should be.
I'll take this off draft once the poll expires, if this is indeed the
winner.
# 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
This allows the following commands to all accept a filename instead of a
plugin name:
- `plugin use`
- `plugin rm`

Slightly complicated because of the need to also check against
`NU_PLUGIN_DIRS`, but I also fixed some issues with that at the same
time

# 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.

# Description
This adds an extension trait to `Result` that wraps errors in `Spanned`,
saving the effort of calling `.map_err(|err| err.into_spanned(span))`
every time. This will hopefully make it even more likely that someone
will want to use a spanned `io::Error` and make it easier to remove the
impl for `From<io::Error> for ShellError` because that doesn't have span
information.

And comment here is also fixed:

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
- Plugin signatures are now saved to `plugin.msgpackz`, which is
brotli-compressed MessagePack.
- The file is updated incrementally, rather than writing all plugin
commands in the engine every time.
- The file always contains the result of the `Signature` call to the
plugin, even if commands were removed.
- Invalid data for a particular plugin just causes an error to be
reported, but the rest of the plugins can still be parsed
# User-Facing Changes
- The plugin file has a different filename, and it's not a nushell
script.
- The default `plugin.nu` file will be automatically migrated the first

# Description
EngineState now tracks the script currently running, instead of the
parent directory of the script. This also provides an easy way to expose
the current running script to the user (Issue #12195).
Similarly, StateWorkingSet now tracks scripts instead of directories.
`parsed_module_files` and `currently_parsed_pwd` are merged into one
variable, `scripts`, which acts like a stack for tracking the current
running script (which is on the top of the stack).
Circular import check is added for `source` operations, in addition to
module import. A simple testcase is added for circular source.

# 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
Adds support for running plugins using local socket communication
instead of stdio. This will be an optional thing that not all plugins
have to support.
This frees up stdio for use to make plugins that use stdio to create
terminal UIs, cc @amtoine, @fdncred.
This uses the [`interprocess`](https://crates.io/crates/interprocess)
crate (298 stars, MIT license, actively maintained), which seems to be
the best option for cross-platform local socket support in Rust. On
Windows, a local socket name is provided. On Unixes, it's a path. The
socket name is kept to a relatively small size because some operating
systems have pretty strict limits on the whole path (~100 chars), so on
macOS for example we prefer `/tmp/nu.{pid}.{hash64}.sock` where the hash
includes the plugin filename and timestamp to be unique enough.
This also adds an API for moving plugins in and out of the foreground
group, which is relevant for Unixes where direct terminal control
depends on that.
TODO:
- [x] Generate local socket path according to OS conventions
- [x] Add support for passing `--local-socket` to the plugin executable
instead of `--stdio`, and communicating over that instead
- [x] Test plugins that were broken, including
[amtoine/nu_plugin_explore](https://github.com/amtoine/nu_plugin_explore)
- [x] Automatically upgrade to using local sockets when supported,
falling back if it doesn't work, transparently to the user without any
visible error messages
- Added protocol feature: `LocalSocket`
- [x] Reset preferred mode to `None` on `register`
- [x] Allow plugins to detect whether they're running on a local socket
and can use stdio freely, so that TUI plugins can just produce an error
message otherwise
- Implemented via `EngineInterface::is_using_stdio()`
- [x] Clean up foreground state when plugin command exits on the engine
side too, not just whole plugin
- [x] Make sure tests for failure cases work as intended
- `nu_plugin_stress_internals` added
# User-Facing Changes

# Description
When implementing a `Command`, one must also import all the types
present in the function signatures for `Command`. This makes it so that
we often import the same set of types in each command implementation
file. E.g., something like this:
```rust
use nu_protocol::ast::Call;
use nu_protocol::engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack};
use nu_protocol::{
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, PipelineData,
ShellError, Signature, Span, Type, Value,
};
```
This PR adds the `nu_engine::command_prelude` module which contains the
necessary and commonly used types to implement a `Command`:
```rust
// command_prelude.rs
pub use crate::CallExt;
pub use nu_protocol::{
ast::{Call, CellPath},
engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack},
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, IntoSpanned,
PipelineData, Record, ShellError, Signature, Span, Spanned, SyntaxShape, Type, Value,
};
```
This should reduce the boilerplate needed to implement a command and
also gives us a place to track the breadth of the `Command` API. I tried
to be conservative with what went into the prelude modules, since it
might be hard/annoying to remove items from the prelude in the future.
Let me know if something should be included or excluded.
# Description
Adds a `nu-plugin-test-support` crate with an interface that supports
testing plugins.
Unlike in reality, these plugins run in the same process on separate
threads. This will allow
testing aspects of the plugin internal state and handling serialized
plugin custom values easily.
We still serialize their custom values and all of the engine to plugin
logic is still in play, so
from a logical perspective this should still expose any bugs that would
have been caused by that.
The only difference is that it doesn't run in a different process, and
doesn't try to serialize
everything to the final wire format for stdin/stdout.
TODO still:
- [x] Clean up warnings about private types exposed in trait definition
- [x] Automatically deserialize plugin custom values in the result so
they can be inspected
- [x] Automatic plugin examples test function
- [x] Write a bit more documentation
- [x] More tests
- [x] Add MIT License file to new crate

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.
This is partially "feng-shui programming" of moving things to new
separate places.
The later commits include "`git blame` tollbooths" by moving out chunks
of code into new files, which requires an extra step to track things
with `git blame`. We can negiotiate if you want to keep particular
things in their original place.
If egregious I tried to add a bit of documentation. If I see something
that is unused/unnecessarily `pub` I will try to remove that.
- Move `nu_protocol::Exportable` to `nu-parser`
- Guess doccomment for `Exportable`
- Move `Unit` enum from `value` to `AST`
- Move engine state `Variable` def into its folder
- Move error-related files in `nu-protocol` subdir
- Move `pipeline_data` module into its own folder
- Move `stream.rs` over into the `pipeline_data` mod
- Move `PipelineMetadata` into its own file
- Doccomment `PipelineMetadata`
- Remove unused `is_leap_year` in `value/mod`
- Note about criminal `type_compatible` helper
- Move duration fmting into new `value/duration.rs`
- Move filesize fmting logic to new `value/filesize`
- Split reexports from standard imports in `value/mod`
- Doccomment trait `CustomValue`
- Polish doccomments and intradoc links
# Description
This PR uses the new plugin protocol to intelligently keep plugin
processes running in the background for further plugin calls.
Running plugins can be seen by running the new `plugin list` command,
and stopped by running the new `plugin stop` command.
This is an enhancement for the performance of plugins, as starting new
plugin processes has overhead, especially for plugins in languages that
take a significant amount of time on startup. It also enables plugins
that have persistent state between commands, making the migration of
features like dataframes and `stor` to plugins possible.
Plugins are automatically stopped by the new plugin garbage collector,
configurable with `$env.config.plugin_gc`:
```nushell
$env.config.plugin_gc = {
# Configuration for plugin garbage collection
default: {
enabled: true # true to enable stopping of inactive plugins
stop_after: 10sec # how long to wait after a plugin is inactive to stop it
}
plugins: {
# alternate configuration for specific plugins, by name, for example:
#
# gstat: {
# enabled: false
# }
}
}
```
If garbage collection is enabled, plugins will be stopped after
`stop_after` passes after they were last active. Plugins are counted as
inactive if they have no running plugin calls. Reading the stream from
the response of a plugin call is still considered to be activity, but if
a plugin holds on to a stream but the call ends without an active
streaming response, it is not counted as active even if it is reading
it. Plugins can explicitly disable the GC as appropriate with
`engine.set_gc_disabled(true)`.
The `version` command now lists plugin names rather than plugin
commands. The list of plugin commands is accessible via `plugin list`.
Recommend doing this together with #12029, because it will likely force
plugin developers to do the right thing with mutability and lead to less
unexpected behavior when running plugins nested / in parallel.
# User-Facing Changes
- new command: `plugin list`
- new command: `plugin stop`
- changed command: `version` (now lists plugin names, rather than
commands)
- new config: `$env.config.plugin_gc`
- Plugins will keep running and be reused, at least for the configured
GC period
- Plugins that used mutable state in weird ways like `inc` did might
misbehave until fixed
- Plugins can disable GC if they need to
- Had to change plugin signature to accept `&EngineInterface` so that
the GC disable feature works. #12029 does this anyway, and I'm expecting
(resolvable) conflicts with that
# Tests + Formatting
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`
Because there is some specific OS behavior required for plugins to not
respond to Ctrl-C directly, I've developed against and tested on both
Linux and Windows to ensure that works properly.
# After Submitting
I think this probably needs to be in the book somewhere
# Description
This PR introduces [workspaces
dependencies](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/workspaces.html#the-dependencies-table).
The advantages are:
- a single place where dependency versions are declared
- reduces the number of files to change when upgrading a dependency
- reduces the risk of accidentally depending on 2 different versions of
the same dependency
I've only done a few so far. If this PR is accepted, I might continue
and progressively do the rest.

# 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 is a follow up to
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/11621#issuecomment-1937484322
Also Fixes: #11838
## About the code change
It applys the same logic when we pass variables to external commands:
0487e9ffcb/crates/nu-command/src/system/run_external.rs (L162-L170)
That is: if user input dynamic things(like variables, sub-expression, or
string interpolation), it returns a quoted `NuPath`, then user input
won't be globbed
# User-Facing Changes
Given two input files: `a*c.txt`, `abc.txt`
* `let f = "a*c.txt"; rm $f` will remove one file: `a*c.txt`.
~* `let f = "a*c.txt"; rm --glob $f` will remove `a*c.txt` and
`abc.txt`~
* `let f: glob = "a*c.txt"; rm $f` will remove `a*c.txt` and `abc.txt`
## Rules about globbing with *variable*
Given two files: `a*c.txt`, `abc.txt`
| Cmd Type | example | Result |
| ----- | ------------------ | ------ |
| builtin | let f = "a*c.txt"; rm $f | remove `a*c.txt` |
| builtin | let f: glob = "a*c.txt"; rm $f | remove `a*c.txt` and
`abc.txt`
| builtin | let f = "a*c.txt"; rm ($f \| into glob) | remove `a*c.txt`
and `abc.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: glob] { rm $f }; let f = "a*c.txt"; crm $f |
remove `a*c.txt` and `abc.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: glob] { rm ($f \| into string) }; let f =
"a*c.txt"; crm $f | remove `a*c.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: string] { rm $f }; let f = "a*c.txt"; crm $f |
remove `a*c.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: string] { rm $f }; let f = "a*c.txt"; crm ($f \|
into glob) | remove `a*c.txt` and `abc.txt`
In general, if a variable is annotated with `glob` type, nushell will
expand glob pattern. Or else, we need to use `into | glob` to expand
glob pattern
# Tests + Formatting

# After Submitting
I think `str glob-escape` command will be no-longer required. We can
remove it.
# Description
Both `Block` and `Pipeline` had `Index`/`IndexMut` implementations to
access their elements, that are currently unused.
Explicit helpers or iteration would generally be preferred anyways but
in the current state the inner containers are `pub` and are liberally
used. (Sometimes with potentially panicking indexing or also iteration)
As it is potentially unclear what the meaning of the element from a
block or pipeline queried by a usize is, let's remove it entirely until
we come up with a better API.
# User-Facing Changes

Plugin authors shouldn't dig into AST internals
# 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
Error: × `o+e>|` only works with external streams
╭─[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.

# Description
Previously, only direcly-recursive calls were checked for recursion
depth. But most recursive calls in nushell are mutually recursive since
expressions like `for`, `where`, `try` and `do` all execute a separte
block.
```nushell
def f [] {
do { f }
}
```
Calling `f` would crash nushell with a stack overflow.
I think the only general way to prevent such a stack overflow is to
enforce a maximum call stack depth instead of only disallowing directly
recursive calls.
This commit also moves that logic into `eval_call()` instead of
`eval_block()` because the recursion limit is tracked in the `Stack`,
but not all blocks are evaluated in a new stack. Incrementing the
recursion depth of the caller's stack would permanently increment that
for all future calls.
Fixes#11667
# User-Facing Changes
Any function call can now fail with `recursion_limit_reached` instead of
just directly recursive calls. Mutually-recursive calls no longer crash
nushell.

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

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

# 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
After this pr, `--flag: bool` is no longer allowed.
I think `ParseWarning::Deprecated` is useful when we want to deprecated
something at syntax level, so I just leave it there for now.

This PR will allow string interpolation at parse time.
Since the actual config hasn't been loaded at parse time, this uses the
`get_config()` method on `StateWorkingSet`. So file sizes and datetimes
(I think those are the only things whose string representations depend
on the config) may be formatted differently from how users have
configured things, which may come as a surprise to some. It does seem
unlikely that anyone would be formatting file sizes or date times at
parse time. Still, something to think about if/before this PR merged.
Also, I changed the `ModuleNotFound` error to include the name of the
module.
# 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 do stuff like:
```nu
const x = [1 2 3]
const y = $"foo($x)" // foo[1, 2, 3]
```
The main use case is `use`-ing and `source`-ing files at parse time:
```nu
const file = "foo.nu"
use $"($file)"
```
If the module isn't found, you'll see an error like this:
```
Error: nu::parser::module_not_found
× Module not found.
╭─[entry #3:1:1]
1 │ use $"($file)"
· ─────┬────
· ╰── module foo.nu not found

help: module files and their paths must be available before your script is run as parsing occurs before anything is evaluated

Although there's user-facing changes, there's probably no need to change
the docs since people probably already expect string interpolation to
work at parse time.
Edit: @kubouch pointed out that we'd need to document the fact that
stuff like file sizes and datetimes won't get formatted according to
user's runtime configs, so I'll make a PR to nushell.github.io after
this one
# 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.
# User-Facing Changes

If there were brackets in a string argument of a script it was always
interpreted as interpolation before the change. That lead to unexpected
outputs of such scripts. After this change arguments which are not
intended as interpolation (not starting with $) and containing brackets
will have implicitly added backticks for correct interpretation in the
scripts. This fixes#10908.
To fix other issues mentioned in #11035 I changed the deparsing logic.
Initially we added backticks for multi word variables and double quote
if there was \ or " in the string. My change would add double quotes any
time string starts with $ or contains any of character that might break
parsing. The characters I identified are white space, (, ', `, ",and \.
It's possible other characters should be added to this list.
I tested this solution with few simple scripts using both stand alone
arguments and flags and it seems to work but I would appreciate if
someone with more experience checked it with some more unusual cases I
missed.

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] ...[]

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
(without `...`):
# 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

- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used` to
check that you're using the standard code style

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"] │
╰──────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
```
