# Description
Closes#12535
Implements sort-by functionality of #8322
Fixes sort-by part of #8667
This PR does two main things: add a new cell path and closure parameter
to `sort-by`, and attempt to make Nushell's sorting behavior
well-defined.
## `sort-by` features
The `columns` parameter is replaced with a `comparator` parameter, which
can be a cell path or a closure. Examples are from docs PR.
1. Cell paths
The basic interactive usage of `sort-by` is the same. For example, `ls |
sort-by modified` still works the same as before. It is not quite a
drop-in replacement, see [behavior changes](#behavior-changes).
Here's an example of how the cell path comparator might be useful:
```nu
> let cities = [
{name: 'New York', info: { established: 1624, population: 18_819_000 } }
{name: 'Kyoto', info: { established: 794, population: 37_468_000 } }
{name: 'São Paulo', info: { established: 1554, population: 21_650_000 }
}
]
> $cities | sort-by info.established
╭───┬───────────┬────────────────────────────╮
│ # │ name │ info │
├───┼───────────┼────────────────────────────┤
│ 0 │ Kyoto │ ╭─────────────┬──────────╮ │
│ │ │ │ established │ 794 │ │
│ │ │ │ population │ 37468000 │ │
│ │ │ ╰─────────────┴──────────╯ │
│ 1 │ São Paulo │ ╭─────────────┬──────────╮ │
│ │ │ │ established │ 1554 │ │
│ │ │ │ population │ 21650000 │ │
│ │ │ ╰─────────────┴──────────╯ │
│ 2 │ New York │ ╭─────────────┬──────────╮ │
│ │ │ │ established │ 1624 │ │
│ │ │ │ population │ 18819000 │ │
│ │ │ ╰─────────────┴──────────╯ │
╰───┴───────────┴────────────────────────────╯
```
2. Key closures
You can supply a closure which will transform each value into a sorting
key (without changing the underlying data). Here's an example of a key
closure, where we want to sort a list of assignments by their average
grade:
```nu
> let assignments = [
{name: 'Homework 1', grades: [97 89 86 92 89] }
{name: 'Homework 2', grades: [91 100 60 82 91] }
{name: 'Exam 1', grades: [78 88 78 53 90] }
{name: 'Project', grades: [92 81 82 84 83] }
]
> $assignments | sort-by { get grades | math avg }
╭───┬────────────┬───────────────────────╮
│ # │ name │ grades │
├───┼────────────┼───────────────────────┤
│ 0 │ Exam 1 │ [78, 88, 78, 53, 90] │
│ 1 │ Project │ [92, 81, 82, 84, 83] │
│ 2 │ Homework 2 │ [91, 100, 60, 82, 91] │
│ 3 │ Homework 1 │ [97, 89, 86, 92, 89] │
╰───┴────────────┴───────────────────────╯
```
3. Custom sort closure
The `--custom`, or `-c`, flag will tell `sort-by` to interpret closures
as custom sort closures. A custom sort closure has two parameters, and
returns a boolean. The closure should return `true` if the first
parameter comes _before_ the second parameter in the sort order.
For a simple example, we could rewrite a cell path sort as a custom sort
(see
[here](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io/pull/1568/files#diff-a7a233e66a361d8665caf3887eb71d4288000001f401670c72b95cc23a948e86R231)
for a more complex example):
```nu
> ls | sort-by -c {|a, b| $a.size < $b.size }
╭───┬─────────────────────┬──────┬──────────┬────────────────╮
│ # │ name │ type │ size │ modified │

╰───┴─────────────────────┴──────┴──────────┴────────────────╯
```
## Making sort more consistent
I think it's important for something as essential as `sort` to have
well-defined semantics. This PR contains some changes to try to make the
behavior of `sort` and `sort-by` consistent. In addition, after working
with the internals of sorting code, I have a much deeper understanding
of all of the edge cases. Here is my attempt to try to better define
some of the semantics of sorting (if you are just interested in changes,
skip to "User-Facing changes")
- `sort`, `sort -v`, and `sort-by` now all work the same. Each
individual sort implementation has been refactored into two functions in
`sort_utils.rs`: `sort`, and `sort_by`. These can also be used in other
parts of Nushell where values need to be sorted.
- `sort` and `sort-by` used to handle `-i` and `-n` differently.
- `sort -n` would consider all values which can't be coerced into a
string to be equal
- `sort-by -i` and `sort-by -n` would only work if all values were
strings
- In this PR, insensitive sort only affects comparison between strings,
and natural sort only applies to numbers and strings (see below).
- (not a change) Before and after this PR, `sort` and `sort-by` support
sorting mixed types. There was a lot of discussion about potentially
making `sort` and `sort-by` only work on lists of homogeneous types, but
the general consensus was that `sort` should not error just because its
input contains incompatible types.
- In order to try to make working with data containing `null` values
easier, I changed the PartialOrd order to sort `Nothing` values to the
end of a list, regardless of what other types the list contains. Before,
`null` would be sorted before `Binary`, `CellPath`, and `Custom` values.
- (not a change) When sorted, lists of mixed types will contain sorted
values of each type in order, for the most part
- (not a change) For example, `[0x[1] (date now) "a" ("yesterday" | into
datetime) "b" 0x[0]]` will be sorted as `["a", "b", a day ago, now, [0],
[1]]`, where sorted strings appear first, then sorted datetimes, etc.
- (not a change) The exception to this is `Int`s and `Float`s, which
will intermix, `Strings` and `Glob`s, which will intermix, and `None` as
described above. Additionally, natural sort will intermix strings with
ints and floats (see below).
- Natural sort no longer coerce all inputs to strings.
- I did originally make natural only apply to strings, but @fdncred
pointed out that the previous behavior also allowed you to sort numeric
strings with numbers. This seems like a useful feature if we are trying
to support sorting with mixed types, so I settled on coercing only
numbers (int, float). This can be reverted if people don't like it.
- Here is an example of this behavior in action, which is the same
before and after this PR:
```nushell
$ [1 "4" 3 "2"] | sort --natural
╭───┬───╮
│ 0 │ 1 │
│ 1 │ 2 │
│ 2 │ 3 │
│ 3 │ 4 │
╰───┴───╯
```
# User-Facing Changes
## New features
- Replaces the `columns` string parameter of `sort-by` with a cell path
or a closure.
- The cell path parameter works exactly as you would expect
- By default, the `closure` parameter acts as a "key sort"; that is,
each element is transformed by the closure into a sorting key
- With the `--custom` (`-c`) parameter, you can define a comparison
function for completely custom sorting order.
## Behavior changes
<details>
<summary><code>sort -v</code> does not coerce record values to
strings</summary>
This was a bit of a surprising behavior, and is now unified with the
behavior of `sort` and `sort-by`. Here's an example where you can
observe the values being implicitly coerced into strings for sorting, as
they are sorted like strings rather than numbers:
Old behavior:
```nushell
$ {foo: 9 bar: 10} | sort -v
╭─────┬────╮
│ bar │ 10 │
│ foo │ 9 │
╰─────┴────╯
```
New behavior:
```nushell
$ {foo: 9 bar: 10} | sort -v
╭─────┬────╮
│ foo │ 9 │
│ bar │ 10 │
╰─────┴────╯
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>Changed <code>sort-by</code> parameters from
<code>string</code> to <code>cell-path</code> or <code>closure</code>.
Typical interactive usage is the same as before, but if passing a
variable to <code>sort-by</code> it must be a cell path (or closure),
not a string</summary>
Old behavior:
```nushell
$ let sort = "modified"
$ ls | sort-by $sort
╭───┬──────┬──────┬──────┬────────────────╮
│ # │ name │ type │ size │ modified │
├───┼──────┼──────┼──────┼────────────────┤
│ 0 │ foo │ file │ 0 B │ 10 hours ago │
│ 1 │ bar │ file │ 0 B │ 35 seconds ago │
╰───┴──────┴──────┴──────┴────────────────╯
```
New behavior:
```nushell
$ let sort = "modified"
$ ls | sort-by $sort
Error: nu:🐚:type_mismatch
× Type mismatch.
╭─[entry #10:1:14]

╰───┴──────┴──────┴──────┴───────────────╯
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>Insensitve and natural sorting behavior reworked</summary>
Previously, the `-i` and `-n` worked differently for `sort` and
`sort-by` (see "Making sort more consistent"). Here are examples of how
these options result in different sorts now:
1. `sort -n`
- Old behavior (types other than numbers, strings, dates, and binary
sorted incorrectly)
```nushell
$ [2sec 1sec] | sort -n
╭───┬──────╮
│ 0 │ 2sec │
│ 1 │ 1sec │
╰───┴──────╯
```
- New behavior
```nushell
$ [2sec 1sec] | sort -n
╭───┬──────╮
│ 0 │ 1sec │
│ 1 │ 2sec │
╰───┴──────╯
```
2. `sort-by -i`
- Old behavior (uppercase words appear before lowercase words as they
would in a typical sort, indicating this is not actually an insensitive
sort)
```nushell
$ ["BAR" "bar" "foo" 2 "FOO" 1] | wrap a | sort-by -i a
╭───┬─────╮
│ # │ a │
├───┼─────┤
│ 0 │ 1 │
│ 1 │ 2 │
│ 2 │ BAR │
│ 3 │ FOO │
│ 4 │ bar │
│ 5 │ foo │
╰───┴─────╯
```
- New behavior (strings are sorted stably, indicating this is an
insensitive sort)
```nushell
$ ["BAR" "bar" "foo" 2 "FOO" 1] | wrap a | sort-by -i a
╭───┬─────╮
│ # │ a │
├───┼─────┤
│ 0 │ 1 │
│ 1 │ 2 │
│ 2 │ BAR │
│ 3 │ bar │
│ 4 │ foo │
│ 5 │ FOO │
╰───┴─────╯
```
3. `sort-by -n`
- Old behavior (natural sort does not work when data contains non-string
values)
```nushell
$ ["10" 8 "9"] | wrap a | sort-by -n a
╭───┬────╮
│ # │ a │
├───┼────┤
│ 0 │ 8 │
│ 1 │ 10 │
│ 2 │ 9 │
╰───┴────╯
```
- New behavior
```nushell
$ ["10" 8 "9"] | wrap a | sort-by -n a
╭───┬────╮
│ # │ a │
├───┼────┤
│ 0 │ 8 │
│ 1 │ 9 │
│ 2 │ 10 │
╰───┴────╯
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>
Sorting a list of non-record values with a non-existent column/path now
errors instead of sorting the values directly (<code>sort</code> should
be used for this, not <code>sort-by</code>)
</summary>
Old behavior:
```nushell
$ [2 1] | sort-by foo
╭───┬───╮
│ 0 │ 1 │
│ 1 │ 2 │
╰───┴───╯
```
New behavior:
```nushell
$ [2 1] | sort-by foo
Error: nu:🐚:incompatible_path_access
× Data cannot be accessed with a cell path
╭─[entry #29:1:17]
1 │ [2 1] | sort-by foo
· ─┬─
· ╰── int doesn't support cell paths
╰────
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><code>sort</code> and <code>sort-by</code> output
<code>List</code> instead of <code>ListStream</code> </summary>
This isn't a meaningful change (unless I misunderstand the purpose of
ListStream), since `sort` and `sort-by` both need to collect in order to
do the sorting anyway, but is user observable.
Old behavior:
```nushell
$ ls | sort | describe -d
╭──────────┬───────────────────╮
│ type │ stream │
│ origin │ nushell │
│ subtype │ {record 3 fields} │
│ metadata │ {record 1 field} │
╰──────────┴───────────────────╯
```
```nushell
$ ls | sort-by name | describe -d
╭──────────┬───────────────────╮
│ type │ stream │
│ origin │ nushell │
│ subtype │ {record 3 fields} │
│ metadata │ {record 1 field} │
╰──────────┴───────────────────╯
```
New behavior:
```nushell
ls | sort | describe -d
╭────────┬─────────────────╮
│ type │ list │
│ length │ 22 │
│ values │ [table 22 rows] │
╰────────┴─────────────────╯
```
```nushell
$ ls | sort-by name | describe -d
╭────────┬─────────────────╮
│ type │ list │
│ length │ 22 │
│ values │ [table 22 rows] │
╰────────┴─────────────────╯
```
</details>
- `sort` now errors when nothing is piped in (`sort-by` already did
this)
# Tests + Formatting
I added lots of unit tests on the new sort implementation to enforce new
sort behaviors and prevent regressions.

Maybe we can deprecate `encode new-base64` and `decode new-base64`
first, to make the code clean and simple I'd rather remove the old

It's a breaking change
# Description
Fixes a couple panics:
```

`-> attempt to divide by zero
```
```
> {} | explore

# User-Facing Changes
`{} | inspect` now outputs an empty table:
```
╭─────────────┬────────╮

```
`{} | explore` opens the help menu.
Both match the empty list behavior.
# Tests
I'm not sure how to test `explore`, as it waits for interaction.
# Description
Partialy addresses #13868. `try` does not catch non-zero exit code
errors from the last command in a pipeline if the result is assigned to
a variable using `let` (or `mut`).
This was fixed by adding a new `OutDest::Value` case. This is used when
the pipeline is in a "value" position. I.e., it will be collected into a
value. This ended up replacing most of the usages of `OutDest::Capture`.
So, this PR also renames `OutDest::Capture` to `OutDest::PipeSeparate`
to better fit the few remaining use cases for it.
# User-Facing Changes
Bug fix.
# Tests + Formatting
Added two tests.
# Description
Similar to #13870 (thanks @WindSoilder), this PR adds a boolean which
determines whether to ignore any errors from an external command. This
is in order to fix#13876. I.e., `do -p` does not wait for externals to
complete before continuing.
# User-Facing Changes
Bug fix.
# Tests + Formatting
Added a test.
This allows parsing of data (e.g. key-value pairs) where the last column
may contain the delimiter.

# Description
Fixes: #13460
The issue is caused by `try_exists` method on path, it will return
`Err(NotADirectory)` if user tried to check for a path under a regular
file.
To fix it, I think it's ok to use `exists` rather than `try_exists`,
although
[Path::exists()](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/path/struct.Path.html#method.exists)
only checks whether or not a path was both found and readable. I think
it's ok, and we can add this information under `extra_description`.
# User-Facing Changes
The following code will no longer raise error:
```
touch a; 'a/b' | path exists
```
# Tests + Formatting
Added 1 test.
# Description
Fixes a bug in the IR for `try` to match that of the regular evaluator
(continuing from #13515):
```nushell
# without IR:
try { ^false } catch { 'caught' } # == 'caught'
# with IR:
try { ^false } catch { 'caught' } # error, non-zero exit code
```
In this PR, both now evaluate to `caught`. For the implementation, I had
to add another instruction, and feel free to suggest better
alternatives. In the future, it might be possible to get rid of this
extra instruction.
# User-Facing Changes
Bug fix, `try { ^false } catch { 'caught' }` now works in IR.
# Description
This PR makes it so that non-zero exit codes and termination by signal
are treated as a normal `ShellError`. Currently, these are silent
errors. That is, if an external command fails, then it's code block is
aborted, but the parent block can sometimes continue execution. E.g.,
see #8569 and this example:
```nushell
[1 2] | each { ^false }
```
Before this would give:
```
╭───┬──╮
│ 0 │ │
│ 1 │ │
╰───┴──╯
```
Now, this shows an error:
```
Error: nu:🐚:eval_block_with_input
× Eval block failed with pipeline input
╭─[entry #1:1:2]
1 │ [1 2] | each { ^false }
· ┬
· ╰── source value

Error: nu:🐚:non_zero_exit_code
× External command had a non-zero exit code
╭─[entry #1:1:17]
1 │ [1 2] | each { ^false }
· ──┬──
· ╰── exited with code 1
╰────
```
This PR fixes#12874, fixes#5960, fixes#10856, and fixes#5347. This
PR also partially addresses #10633 and #10624 (only the last command of
a pipeline is currently checked). It looks like #8569 is already fixed,
but this PR will make sure it is definitely fixed (fixes#8569).
# User-Facing Changes
- Non-zero exit codes and termination by signal now cause an error to be
thrown.
- The error record value passed to a `catch` block may now have an
`exit_code` column containing the integer exit code if the error was due
to an external command.
- Adds new config values, `display_errors.exit_code` and
`display_errors.termination_signal`, which determine whether an error
message should be printed in the respective error cases. For
non-interactive sessions, these are set to `true`, and for interactive
sessions `display_errors.exit_code` is false (via the default config).
# Tests
Added a few tests.
# After Submitting
- Update docs and book.
- Future work:
- Error if other external commands besides the last in a pipeline exit
with a non-zero exit code. Then, deprecate `do -c` since this will be
the default behavior everywhere.
- Add a better mechanism for exit codes and deprecate
`$env.LAST_EXIT_CODE` (it's buggy).
# Description
The content-type was not being handled appropriately when sending
requests with a string value.
# User-Facing Changes
- Passing a string value through a pipeline with a content-type set as
metadata is handled correctly
- Passing a string value as a parameter with a content-type set as a
flag is handled correctly.
# Description
After looking at #13751 I noticed that the config setting
`use_grid_icons` seems out of place. So, I removed it from the config
and made it a parameter to the `grid` command.
Closes#13687Closes#13686
# Description
Light refactoring of `send_request `in `client.rs`. In the end there are
more lines but now the logic is more concise and facilitates adding new
conditions in the future. Unit tests ran fine and I tested a few cases
manually.
Cool project btw, I'll be using nushell from now on.
# Description
This changes the behavior of `tee` to be more transparent when given a
value that isn't a list or range. Previously, anything that wasn't a
byte stream would converted to a list stream using the iterator
implementation, which led to some surprising results. Instead, now, if
the value is a string or binary, it will be treated the same way a byte
stream is, and the output of `tee` is a byte stream instead of the
original value. This is done so that we can synchronize with the other
thread on collect, and potentially capture any error produced by the
closure.
For values that can't be converted to streams, the closure is just run
with a clone of the value instead on another thread. Because we can't
wait for the other thread, there is no way to send an error back to the
original thread, so instead it's just written to stderr using
`report_error_new()`.
There are a couple of follow up edge cases I see where byte streams
aren't necessarily treated exactly the same way strings are, but this
should mostly be a good experience.
Fixes#13489.
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking change.
- `tee` now outputs and sends string/binary stream for string/binary
input.
- `tee` now outputs and sends the original value for any other input
other than lists/ranges.
# Tests + Formatting
Added for new behavior.
# After Submitting
- [ ] release notes: breaking change, command change
Mistakes have been made. I forgot about a bunch of `todo`s in the helper
functions. So, this PR replaces them with proper errors. It also adds
tests for parse-time evaluation, because one `todo` I missed was in a
`run_const` function.
Based on the discussion in #13419.
## Description
Reworks the `decode`/`encode` commands by adding/changing the following
bases:
- `base32`
- `base32hex`
- `hex`
- `new-base64`
The `hex` base is compatible with the previous version of `hex` out of
the box (it only adds more flags). `base64` isn't, so the PR adds a new
version and deprecates the old one.
All commands have `string -> binary` signature for decoding and `string
| binary -> string` signature for encoding. A few `base64` encodings,
which are not a part of the
[RFC4648](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4648#section-6), have
been dropped.
## Example usage
```Nushell
~/fork/nushell> "string" | encode base32 | decode base32 | decode
string
```
```Nushell
~/fork/nushell> "ORSXG5A=" | decode base32
# `decode` always returns a binary value
Length: 4 (0x4) bytes | printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii

- `encode/decode base64` deprecated in favor of `encode/decode
new-base64`.
# Description
The meaning of the word usage is specific to describing how a command
function is *used* and not a synonym for general description. Usage can
be used to describe the SYNOPSIS or EXAMPLES sections of a man page
where the permitted argument combinations are shown or example *uses*
are given.
Let's not confuse people and call it what it is a description.
Our `help` command already creates its own *Usage* section based on the
available arguments and doesn't refer to the description with usage.
# User-Facing Changes
`help commands` and `scope commands` will now use `description` or
`extra_description`
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
Breaking change in the plugin protocol:
In the signature record communicated with the engine.
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
The same rename also takes place for the methods on
`SimplePluginCommand` and `PluginCommand`

# Description
The previous behaviour of `into record` on lists was to create a new
record with each list index as the key. This was not very useful for
creating meaningful records, though, and most people would end up using
commands like `headers` or `transpose` to turn a list of keys and values
into a record.
This PR changes that instead to do what I think the most ergonomic thing
is, and instead:
- A list of records is merged into one record.
- A list of pairs (two element lists) is folded into a record with the
first element of each pair being the key, and the second being the
value.
The former is just generally more useful than having to use `reduce`
with `merge` for such a common operation, and the latter is useful
because it means that `$a | zip $b | into record` *just works* in the
way that seems most obvious.
Example:
```nushell
[[foo bar] [baz quux]] | into record # => {foo: bar, baz: quux}
[{foo: bar} {baz: quux}] | into record # => {foo: bar, baz: quux}
[foo baz] | zip [bar quux] | into record # => {foo: bar, baz: quux}
```
The support for range input has been removed, as it would no longer
reflect the treatment of an equivalent list.
The following is equivalent to the old behavior, in case that's desired:
```
0.. | zip [a b c] | into record # => {0: a, 1: b, 2: c}
```
# User-Facing Changes
- `into record` changed as described above (breaking)
- `into record` no longer supports range input (breaking)

Examples changed to match, everything works. Some usage in stdlib and
`nu_plugin_nu_example` had to be changed.

Previously when nushell failed to parse the content type header, it
would emit an error instead of returning the response. Now it will fall
back to `text/plain` (which, in turn, will trigger type detection based
on file extension).

# Description
Something I meant to add a long time ago. We currently don't have a
convenient way to print raw binary data intentionally. You can pipe it
through `cat` to turn it into an unknown stream, or write it to a file
and read it again, but we can't really just e.g. generate msgpack and
write it to stdout without this. For example:
```nushell
[abc def] | to msgpack | print --raw
```
This is useful for nushell scripts that will be piped into something
else. It also means that `nu_plugin_nu_example` probably doesn't need to
do this anymore, but I haven't adjusted it yet:
```nushell
def tell_nushell_encoding [] {
print -n "\u{0004}json"
}
```
This happens to work because 0x04 is a valid UTF-8 character, but it
wouldn't be possible if it were something above 0x80.
`--raw` also formats other things without `table`, I figured the two
things kind of go together. The output is kind of like `to text`.
Debatable whether that should share the same flag, but it was easier
that way and seemed reasonable.

`save` command sinks the output of previous commands' stderr output. I
think it should be `stderr`.

# Description
This makes assignment operations and `const` behave the same way `let`
and `mut` do, absorbing the rest of the pipeline.
Changes the lexer to be able to recognize assignment operators as a
separate token, and then makes the lite parser continue to push spans
into the same command regardless of any redirections or pipes if an
assignment operator is encountered. Because the pipeline is no longer
split up by the lite parser at this point, it's trivial to just parse
the right hand side as if it were a subexpression not contained within
parentheses.
# User-Facing Changes
Big breaking change. These are all now possible:
```nushell
const path = 'a' | path join 'b'
mut x = 2
$x = random int
$x = [1 2 3] | math sum
$env.FOO = random chars
```
In the past, these would have led to (an attempt at) bare word string
parsing. So while `$env.FOO = bar` would have previously set the
environment variable `FOO` to the string `"bar"`, it now tries to run
the command named `bar`, hence the major breaking change.
However, this is desirable because it is very consistent - if you see
the `=`, you can just assume it absorbs everything else to the right of
it.
# Tests + Formatting
Added tests for the new behaviour. Adjusted some existing tests that
depended on the right hand side of assignments being parsed as
barewords.

# Description
Close: #12083Close: #12084
# User-Facing Changes
It's a breaking change because we have switched the position of
`<initial>` and `<closure>`, after the change, initial value will be
optional. So it's possible to do something like this:
```nushell
> let f = {|fib = [0, 1]| {out: $fib.0, next: [$fib.1, ($fib.0 + $fib.1)]} }
> generate $f | first 5

╰───┴───╯
```
It will also raise error if user don't give initial value, and the
closure don't have default parameter.
```nushell
❯ let f = {|fib| {out: $fib.0, next: [$fib.1, ($fib.0 + $fib.1)]} }
❯ generate $f

# Description
Following from #13377, this PR refactors the related `window` command.
In the case where `window` should behave exactly like `chunks`, it now
reuses the same code that `chunks` does. Otherwise, the other cases have
been rewritten and have resulted in a performance increase:
| window size | stride | old time (ms) | new time (ms) |
| -----------:| ------:| -------------:| -------------:|
| 20 | 1 | 757 | 722 |
| 2 | 1 | 364 | 333 |
| 1 | 1 | 343 | 293 |
| 20 | 20 | 90 | 63 |
| 2 | 2 | 215 | 175 |
| 20 | 30 | 74 | 60 |
| 2 | 4 | 141 | 110 |
# User-Facing Changes
`window` will now error if the window size or stride is 0, which is
technically a breaking change.
# Description
This grew quite a bit beyond its original scope, but I've tried to make
`$in` a bit more consistent and easier to work with.
Instead of the parser generating calls to `collect` and creating
closures, this adds `Expr::Collect` which just evaluates in the same
scope and doesn't require any closure.
When `$in` is detected in an expression, it is replaced with a new
variable (also called `$in`) and wrapped in `Expr::Collect`. During
eval, this expression is evaluated directly, with the input and with
that new variable set to the collected value.
Other than being faster and less prone to gotchas, it also makes it
possible to typecheck the output of an expression containing `$in`,
which is nice. This is a breaking change though, because of the lack of
the closure and because now typechecking will actually happen. Also, I
haven't attempted to typecheck the input yet.
The IR generated now just looks like this:
```gas
collect %in
clone %tmp, %in
store-variable $in, %tmp
# %out <- ...expression... <- %in
drop-variable $in
```
(where `$in` is the local variable created for this collection, and not
`IN_VARIABLE_ID`)
which is a lot better than having to create a closure and call `collect
--keep-env`, dealing with all of the capture gathering and allocation
that entails. Ideally we can also detect whether that input is actually
needed, so maybe we don't have to clone, but I haven't tried to do that
yet. Theoretically now that the variable is a unique one every time, it
should be possible to give it a type - I just don't know how to
determine that yet.
On top of that, I've also reworked how `$in` works in pipeline-initial
position. Previously, it was a little bit inconsistent. For example,
this worked:
```nushell
> 3 | do { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }
3
3
```
However, this causes a runtime variable not found error on the second
`$in`:
```nushell
> def foo [] { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }; 3 | foo
Error: nu:🐚:variable_not_found
× Variable not found
╭─[entry #115:1:35]
1 │ def foo [] { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }; 3 | foo
· ─┬─
· ╰── variable not found
╰────
```
I've fixed this by making the first element `$in` detection *always*
happen at the block level, so if you use `$in` in pipeline-initial
position anywhere in a block, it will collect with an implicit
subexpression around the whole thing, and you can then use that `$in`
more than once. In doing this I also rewrote `parse_pipeline()` and
hopefully it's a bit more straightforward and possibly more efficient
too now.
Finally, I've tried to make `let` and `mut` a lot more straightforward
with how they handle the rest of the pipeline, and using a redirection
with `let`/`mut` now does what you'd expect if you assume that they
consume the whole pipeline - the redirection is just processed as
normal. These both work now:
```nushell
let x = ^foo err> err.txt
let y = ^foo out+err>| str length
```
It was previously possible to accomplish this with a subexpression, but
it just seemed like a weird gotcha that you couldn't do it. Intuitively,
`let` and `mut` just seem to take the whole line.
- closes#13137
# User-Facing Changes
- `$in` will behave more consistently with blocks and closures, since
the entire block is now just wrapped to handle it if it appears in the
first pipeline element
- `$in` no longer creates a closure, so what can be done within an
expression containing `$in` is less restrictive
- `$in` containing expressions are now type checked, rather than just
resulting in `any`. However, `$in` itself is still `any`, so this isn't
quite perfect yet
- Redirections are now allowed in `let` and `mut` and behave pretty much
how you'd expect

# Description
Before this change `default` would dive into lists and replace `null`
elements with the default value.
Therefore there was no easy way to process `null|list<null|string>`
input and receive `list<null|string>`
(IOW to apply the default on the top level only).
However it's trivially easy to apply default values to list elements
with the `each` command:
```nushell
[null, "a", null] | each { default "b" }
```
So there's no need to have this behavior in `default` command.
# User-Facing Changes
* `default` no longer dives into lists to replace `null` elements with
the default value.
# Tests + Formatting
Added a couple of tests for the new (and old) behavior.
# After Submitting
* Update docs.
# Description
The name of the `group` command is a little unclear/ambiguous.
Everything I look at it, I think of `group-by`. I think `chunks` more
clearly conveys what the `group` command does. Namely, it divides the
input list into chunks of a certain size. For example,
[`slice::chunks`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.slice.html#method.chunks)
has the same name. So, this PR adds a new `chunks` command to replace
the now deprecated `group` command.
The `chunks` command is a refactored version of `group`. As such, there
is a small performance improvement:
```nushell
# $data is a very large list
> bench { $data | chunks 2 } --rounds 30 | get mean
474ms 921µs 190ns
# deprecation warning was disabled here for fairness
> bench { $data | group 2 } --rounds 30 | get mean
592ms 702µs 440ns
> bench { $data | chunks 200 } --rounds 30 | get mean
374ms 188µs 318ns

Provides the ability to use http commands as part of a pipeline.
Additionally, this pull requests extends the pipeline metadata to add a
content_type field. The content_type metadata field allows commands such
as `to json` to set the metadata in the pipeline allowing the http
commands to use it when making requests.
This pull request also introduces the ability to directly stream http
requests from streaming pipelines.
One other small change is that Content-Type will always be set if it is
passed in to the http commands, either indirectly or throw the content
type flag. Previously it was not preserved with requests that were not
of type json or form data.
# User-Facing Changes
* `http post`, `http put`, `http patch`, `http delete` can be used as
part of a pipeline
* `to text`, `to json`, `from json` all set the content_type metadata
field and the http commands will utilize them when making requests.

I narrowed this down to the ndots handling, since that does path parsing
and path reconstruction in every case. I decided to change that so that
it only activates if the string contains at least `...`, since that
would be the minimum trigger for ndots, and also to not activate it if
the string contains `://`, since it's probably undesirable for a URL.
Kind of a hack, but I'm not really sure how else we decide whether
someone wants ndots or not.

- #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.

# After Submitting
- [ ] release notes: make sure to mention the new syntaxes that are
supported
# Description
This fixes issues with trying to run the tests with a terminal that is
small enough to cause errors to wrap around, or in cases where the test
environment might produce strings that are reasonably expected to wrap
around anyway. "Fancy" errors are too fancy for tests to work
predictably 😉

# User-Facing Changes
- Added `--error-style` option for use with `--commands` (like
`--table-mode`)
# Tests + Formatting
Surprisingly, all of the tests pass, including in small windows! I only
had to make one change to a test for `error make` which was looking for
the box drawing characters miette uses to determine whether the span
label was showing up - but the plain error style output is even better
and easier to match on, so this test is actually more specific now.
# Description
Fixes: #13105Fixes: #13077
This pr makes `str substring`, `bytes at` work better with negative
index.
And it also fixes the false range semantic on `detect columns -c` in
some cases.
# User-Facing Changes
For `str substring`, `bytes at`, it will no-longer return an error if
start index is larger than end index. It makes sense to return an empty
string of empty bytes directly.
### Before
```nushell
# str substring
❯ ("aaa" | str substring 2..-3) == ""
Error: nu:🐚:type_mismatch
× Type mismatch.
╭─[entry #23:1:10]
1 │ ("aaa" | str substring 2..-3) == ""
· ──────┬──────
· ╰── End must be greater than or equal to Start
2 │ true
╰────
# bytes at
❯ ("aaa" | encode utf-8 | bytes at 2..-3) == ("" | encode utf-8)
Error: nu:🐚:type_mismatch
× Type mismatch.
╭─[entry #27:1:25]
1 │ ("aaa" | encode utf-8 | bytes at 2..-3) == ("" | encode utf-8)
· ────┬───
· ╰── End must be greater than or equal to Start
╰────
```
### After
```nushell
# str substring
❯ ("aaa" | str substring 2..-3) == ""
true
# bytes at
❯ ("aaa" | encode utf-8 | bytes at 2..-3) == ("" | encode utf-8)
true
```
# Tests + Formatting
Added some tests, adjust existing tests
# Description
Removes the `which-support` cargo feature and makes all of its
feature-gated code enabled by default in all builds. I'm not sure why
this one command is gated behind a feature. It seems to be a relic of
older code where we had features for what seems like every command.
