# 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
Adds two new types in `nu-engine` for evaluating closures: `ClosureEval`
and `ClosureEvalOnce`. This removed some duplicate code and centralizes
our logic for setting up, running, and cleaning up closures. For
example, in the future if we are able to reduce the cloning necessary to
run a closure, then we only have to change the code related to these
types.
`ClosureEval` and `ClosureEvalOnce` are designed with a builder API.
`ClosureEval` is used to run a closure multiple times whereas
`ClosureEvalOnce` is used for a one-shot closure.
# User-Facing Changes
Should be none, unless I messed up one of the command migrations.
Actually, this will fix any unreported environment bugs for commands
that didn't reset the env after running a closure.
# 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
time, but not other plugin config files.
- We don't currently provide any utilities that could help edit this
file, beyond `plugin add` and `plugin rm`
- `from msgpackz`, `to msgpackz` could also help
- New commands: `plugin add`, `plugin rm`

# After Submitting
- [ ] Check for documentation changes
- [ ] Definitely needs release notes
# Description
In conflict with the documentation, the msgpack serializer for plugins
is actually using the compact format, which doesn't name struct fields,
and is instead dependent on their ordering, rendering them as tuples.
This is not a good idea for a robust protocol even if it makes the
serialization and deserialization faster.
I expect this to have some impact on performance, but I think the
robustness is probably worth it.
Deserialization always accepts either format, so this shouldn't cause
too many incompatibilities.
# User-Facing Changes
This does technically change the protocol, but it makes it reflect the
documentation. It shouldn't break deserialization, so plugins shouldn't
necessarily need a recompile.
Performance is likely worse and I should benchmark the difference.

# Description
As suggested by @fdncred.
It's neat that this is possible, but the particularly useful part of
this is that we can actually
test it because it doesn't have any external dependencies, unlike the
python plugin.
Right now this just implements exactly the same behavior as the python
plugin, but we could have it
exercise a few more things.
Also fixes a couple of bugs:
- `.nu` plugins were not run with `nu --stdin`, so they couldn't take
input.
- `register` couldn't be called if `--no-config-file` was set, because
it would error on trying to
update the plugin file.
# User-Facing Changes
- `nu_plugin_nu_example` plugin added.
- `register` now works in `--no-config-file` mode.

# Description
If a panic happens during a plugin call, because it always happens
outside of the main thread, it currently just hangs Nushell because the
plugin stays running without ever producing a response to the call.
This adds a panic handler that calls `exit(1)` after the unwind finishes
to the plugin runner. The panic error is still printed to stderr as
always, and waiting for the unwind to finish helps to ensure that
anything on the stack with `Drop` behavior that needed to run still
runs, at least on that thread.
# User-Facing Changes
Panics now look like this, which is what they looked like before the
plugin behavior was moved to a separate thread:
```
thread 'plugin runner (primary)' panicked at crates/nu_plugin_example/src/commands/main.rs:45:9:
Test panic
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

# 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
- TUI plugins work
- Non-Rust plugins could optionally choose to use this
- This might behave differently, so will need to test it carefully
across different operating systems

# Description
In the plugin protocol, I had used `#[serde(untagged)]` on the `Stream`
variant to make it smaller and include all of the stream messages at the
top level, but unfortunately this causes serde to make really unhelpful
errors if anything fails to decode anywhere:
```
Error: nu:🐚:plugin_failed_to_decode
× Plugin failed to decode: data did not match any variant of untagged enum PluginOutput
```
If you are trying to develop something using the plugin protocol
directly, this error is incredibly unhelpful. Even as a user, this
basically just says 'something is wrong'. With this change, the errors
are much better:
```
Error: nu:🐚:plugin_failed_to_decode
× Plugin failed to decode: unknown variant `PipelineDatra`, expected one of `Error`, `Signature`, `Ordering`, `PipelineData` at line 2 column 37
```
The only downside is it means I have to duplicate all of the
`StreamMessage` variants manually, but there's only 4 of them and
they're small.
This doesn't actually change the protocol at all - everything is still
identical on the wire.

# Description
This adds a `SharedCow` type as a transparent copy-on-write pointer that
clones to unique on mutate.
As an initial test, the `Record` within `Value::Record` is shared.
There are some pretty big wins for performance. I'll post benchmark
results in a comment. The biggest winner is nested access, as that would
have cloned the records for each cell path follow before and it doesn't
have to anymore.
The reusability of the `SharedCow` type is nice and I think it could be
used to clean up the previous work I did with `Arc` in `EngineState`.
It's meant to be a mostly transparent clone-on-write that just clones on
`.to_mut()` or `.into_owned()` if there are actually multiple
references, but avoids cloning if the reference is unique.

I spent a while trying to come up with a good name for what is currently
`IoStream`. Looking back, this name is not the best, because it:
1. Implies that it is a stream, when it all it really does is specify
the output destination for a stream/pipeline.
2. Implies that it handles input and output, when it really only handles
output.
So, this PR renames `IoStream` to `OutDest` instead, which should be
more clear.
# Description
This allows plugins to view the source code of spans.
Requested by @ayax79 for implementing `polars ls`. Note that this won't
really help you find the location of the span. I'm planning to add
another engine call that will return information more similar to what
shows up in the miette diagnostics, with filename / line number / some
context, but I'll want to refactor some of the existing logic to make
that happen, so it was easier to just do this first. I hope this is
enough to at least have something somewhat useful show up for `polars
ls`.

# Description
This speeds up writing messages to the plugin, because otherwise every
individual piece of the messages (not even the entire message) is
written with one syscall, leading to a lot of back and forth with the
kernel.
I learned this by running `strace` to debug something and saw a ton of
`write()` calls.

# Description
Requested by @ayax79. This makes the custom value behavior more correct,
by calling the methods on the plugin to handle the custom values in
examples rather than the methods on the custom values themselves. This
helps for handle-type custom values (like what he's doing with
dataframes).
- Equality checking in `PluginTest::test_examples()` changed to use
`PluginInterface::custom_value_partial_cmp()`
- Base value rendering for `PluginSignature` changed to use
`Plugin::custom_value_to_base_value()`
- Had to be moved closer to `serve_plugin` for this reason, so the test
for writing signatures containing custom values was removed
- That behavior should still be tested to some degree, since if custom
values are not handled, signatures will fail to parse, so all of the
other tests won't work.
# User-Facing Changes
- `Record::sort_cols()` method added to share functionality required by
`PartialCmp`, and it might also be slightly faster
- Otherwise, everything should mostly be the same but better. Plugins
that don't implement special handling for custom values will still work
the same way, because the default implementation is just a pass-through
to the `CustomValue` methods.

# Description
Because the plugin interface reader thread can be responsible for
sending a drop notification, it's possible for it to end up in a
deadlock where it's waiting for the response to the drop notification
call.
I decided that the best way to address this is to just discard the
response and not wait for it. It's not really important to synchronize
with the response to `Dropped`, so this is probably faster anyway.
cc @ayax79, this is your issue where polars is getting stuck

# Description
This keeps plugin custom values that have requested drop notification
around during the lifetime of a plugin call / stream by sending them to
a channel that gets persisted during the lifetime of the call.
Before this change, it was very likely that the drop notification would
be sent before the plugin ever had a chance to handle the value it
received.
Tests have been added to make sure this works - see the `custom_values`
plugin.
cc @ayax79
# User-Facing Changes
This is basically just a bugfix, just a slightly big one.
However, I did add an `as_mut_any()` function for custom values, to
avoid having to clone them. This is a breaking change.

This changes the interface for plugins to always represent errors as
`LabeledError`s. This is good for altlang plugins, as it would suck for
them to have to implement and track `ShellError`. We save a lot of
generated code from the `ShellError` serde impl too, so `nu` and plugins
get to have a smaller binary size.
Reduces the release binary size by 1.2 MiB on my build configuration.

# Description
This is something that was discussed in the core team meeting last
Wednesday. @ayax79 is building `nu-plugin-polars` with all of the
dataframe commands into a plugin, and there are a lot of them, so it
would help to make the API more similar. At the same time, I think the
`Command` API is just better anyway. I don't think the difference is
justified, and the types for core commands have the benefit of requiring
less `.into()` because they often don't own their data
- Broke `signature()` up into `name()`, `usage()`, `extra_usage()`,
`search_terms()`, `examples()`
- `signature()` returns `nu_protocol::Signature`
- `examples()` returns `Vec<nu_protocol::Example>`
- `PluginSignature` and `PluginExample` no longer need to be used by
plugin developers
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking API for plugins yet again 😄
# 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

This makes `LabeledError` much more capable of representing close to
everything a `miette::Diagnostic` can, including `ShellError`, and
allows plugins to generate multiple error spans, codes, help, etc.
`LabeledError` is now embeddable within `ShellError` as a transparent
variant.
This could also be used to improve `error make` and `try/catch` to
reflect `LabeledError` exactly in the future.
Also cleaned up some errors in existing plugins.
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking change for plugins. Nicer errors for users.

It was a bit ugly that when new `EngineCall`s or response types were

# Description
- Rename `CustomValue::value_string()` to `type_name()` to reflect its
usage better.
- Change print behavior to always call `to_base_value()` first, to give
the custom value better control over the output.
- Change `describe --detailed` to show the type name as the subtype,
rather than trying to describe the base value.
- Change custom `Type` to use `type_name()` rather than `typetag_name()`
to make things like `PluginCustomValue` more transparent
One question: should `describe --detailed` still include a description
of the base value somewhere? I'm torn on it, it seems possibly useful
for some things (maybe sqlite databases?), but having `describe -d` not
include the custom type name anywhere felt weird. Another option would
be to add another method to `CustomValue` for info to be displayed in
`describe`, so that it can be more type-specific?

@ayax79 says that the dataframe commands all have dataframe custom
values in their examples, and they're used for tests.
Rather than send the custom values to the engine, if they're in
examples, this change just renders them using `to_base_value()` first.
That way we avoid potentially having to hold onto custom values in
`plugins.nu` that might not be valid indefinitely - as will be the case
for dataframes in particular - but we still avoid forcing plugin writers
to not use custom values in their examples.

We do a lot of visiting contained values in the serialization / validity
functions within `PluginCustomValue` utils. This adds
`Value::recurse_mut()` which wraps up most of that logic into something
that can be reused.
# Description
Adds the `AddEnvVar` plugin call, which allows plugins to set
environment variables in the caller's scope. This is the first engine
call that mutates the caller's stack, and opens the door to more
operations like this if needed.
This also comes with an extra benefit: in doing this, I needed to
refactor how context was handled, and I was able to avoid cloning
`EngineInterface` / `Stack` / `Call` in most cases that plugin calls are
used. They now only need to be cloned if the plugin call returns a
stream. The performance increase is welcome (5.5x faster on `inc`!):
```nushell

# Description
This is a significant breaking change to the plugin API, but one I think
is worthwhile. @ayax79 mentioned on Discord that while trying to start
on a dataframes plugin, he was a little disappointed that more wasn't
provided in terms of code organization for commands, particularly since
there are *a lot* of `dfr` commands.
This change treats plugins more like miniatures of the engine, with
dispatch of the command name being handled inherently, each command
being its own type, and each having their own signature within the trait
impl for the command type rather than having to find a way to centralize
it all into one `Vec`.
For the example plugins that have multiple commands, I definitely like
how this looks a lot better. This encourages doing code organization the
right way and feels very good.
For the plugins that have only one command, it's just a little bit more
boilerplate - but still worth it, in my opinion.
The `Box<dyn PluginCommand<Plugin = Self>>` type in `commands()` is a
little bit hairy, particularly for Rust beginners, but ultimately not so
bad, and it gives the desired flexibility for shared state for a whole
plugin + the individual commands.
# User-Facing Changes
Pretty big breaking change to plugin API, but probably one that's worth
making.
```rust
use nu_plugin::*;
use nu_protocol::{PluginSignature, PipelineData, Type, Value};
struct LowercasePlugin;
struct Lowercase;
// Plugins can now have multiple commands
impl PluginCommand for Lowercase {
type Plugin = LowercasePlugin;
// The signature lives with the command
fn signature(&self) -> PluginSignature {
PluginSignature::build("lowercase")
.usage("Convert each string in a stream to lowercase")
.input_output_type(Type::List(Type::String.into()), Type::List(Type::String.into()))
}
// We also provide SimplePluginCommand which operates on Value like before
fn run(
&self,
plugin: &LowercasePlugin,
engine: &EngineInterface,
call: &EvaluatedCall,
input: PipelineData,
) -> Result<PipelineData, LabeledError> {
let span = call.head;
Ok(input.map(move |value| {
value.as_str()
.map(|string| Value::string(string.to_lowercase(), span))
// Errors in a stream should be returned as values.
.unwrap_or_else(|err| Value::error(err, span))
}, None)?)
}
}
// Plugin now just has a list of commands, and the custom value op stuff still goes here
impl Plugin for LowercasePlugin {
fn commands(&self) -> Vec<Box<dyn PluginCommand<Plugin=Self>>> {
vec![Box::new(Lowercase)]
}
}
fn main() {
serve_plugin(&LowercasePlugin{}, MsgPackSerializer)
}
```
Time this however you like - we're already breaking stuff for 0.92, so
it might be good to do it now, but if it feels like a lot all at once,
it could wait.

# 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).

# Description
`rmp_serde` has two kinds of errors that contain I/O errors, and an EOF
can occur inside either of them, but we were only treating an EOF inside
an `InvalidMarkerRead` as an EOF, which would make sense for the
beginning of a message.
However, we should also treat an incomplete message + EOF as an EOF.
There isn't really any point in reporting that an EOF was received
mid-message.
This should fix the issue where the
`seq_describe_no_collect_succeeds_without_error` test would sometimes
fail, as doing a `describe --no-collect` followed by nushell exiting
could (but was not guaranteed to) cause this exact scenario.
# User-Facing Changes

# Description
There were two problems in `PersistentPlugin` which could cause a
deadlock:
1. There were two mutexes being used, and `get()` could potentially hold
both simultaneously if it had to spawn. This won't necessarily cause a
deadlock on its own, but it does mean that lock order is sensitive
2. `set_gc_config()` called `flush()` while still holding the lock,
meaning that the GC thread had to proceed before the lock was released.
However, waiting for the GC thread to proceed could mean waiting for the
GC thread to call `stop()`, which itself would try to lock the mutex.
So, it's not safe to wait for the GC thread while the lock is held. This
is fixed now.
I've also reverted #12177, as @IanManske reported that this was also
happening for him on Linux, and it seems to be this problem which should
not be platform-specific at all. I believe this solves it.

# Description
This adds three engine calls: `GetEnvVar`, `GetEnvVars`, for getting
environment variables from the plugin command context, and
`GetCurrentDir` for getting the current working directory.
Plugins are now launched in the directory of their executable to try to
make improper use of the current directory without first setting it more
obvious. Plugins previously launched in whatever the current directory
of the engine was at the time the plugin command was run, but switching
to persistent plugins broke this, because they stay in whatever
directory they launched in initially.
This also fixes the `gstat` plugin to use `get_current_dir()` to
determine its repo location, which was directly affected by this
problem.
# User-Facing Changes
- Adds new engine calls (`GetEnvVar`, `GetEnvVars`, `GetCurrentDir`)
- Runs plugins in a different directory from before, in order to catch
bugs
- Plugins will have to use the new engine calls if they do filesystem
stuff to work properly

# Description
This causes `PersistentPlugin` to wait for the plugin garbage collector
to actually receive and process its config when setting it in
`set_gc_config`.
The motivation behind doing this is to make setting GC config in scripts
more deterministic. Before this change we couldn't really guarantee that
the GC could see your config before you started doing other things.
There is a slight cost to performance to doing this - we set config
before each plugin call because we don't necessarily know that it
reflects what's in `$env.config`, and now to do that we have to
synchronize with the GC thread.
This was probably the cause of spuriously failing tests as mentioned by
@sholderbach. Hopefully this fixes it. It might be the case that
launching threads on some platforms (or just on a really busy test
runner) sometimes takes a significant amount of time.
# User-Facing Changes
- possibly slightly worse performance for plugin calls
# Description
Adds support for the following operations on plugin custom values, in
addition to `to_base_value` which was already present:
- `follow_path_int()`
- `follow_path_string()`
- `partial_cmp()`
- `operation()`
- `Drop` (notification, if opted into with
`CustomValue::notify_plugin_on_drop`)
There are additionally customizable methods within the `Plugin` and
`StreamingPlugin` traits for implementing these functions in a way that
requires access to the plugin state, as a registered handle model such
as might be used in a dataframes plugin would.
`Value::append` was also changed to handle custom values correctly.
# User-Facing Changes
- Signature of `CustomValue::follow_path_string` and
`CustomValue::follow_path_int` changed to give access to the span of the
custom value itself, useful for some errors.
- Plugins using custom values have to be recompiled because the engine
will try to do custom value operations that aren't supported
- Plugins can do more things 🎉

# 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

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 allows plugins to make calls back to the engine to get config,
evaluate closures, and do other things that must be done within the
engine process.
Engine calls can both produce and consume streams as necessary. Closures
passed to plugins can both accept stream input and produce stream output
sent back to the plugin.
Engine calls referring to a plugin call's context can be processed as
long either the response hasn't been received, or the response created
streams that haven't ended yet.
This is a breaking API change for plugins. There are some pretty major
changes to the interface that plugins must implement, including:
1. Plugins now run with `&self` and must be `Sync`. Executing multiple
plugin calls in parallel is supported, and there's a chance that a
closure passed to a plugin could invoke the same plugin. Supporting
state across plugin invocations is left up to the plugin author to do in
whichever way they feel best, but the plugin object itself is still
shared. Even though the engine doesn't run multiple plugin calls through
the same process yet, I still considered it important to break the API
in this way at this stage. We might want to consider an optional
threadpool feature for performance.
2. Plugins take a reference to `EngineInterface`, which can be cloned.
This interface allows plugins to make calls back to the engine,
including for getting config and running closures.
3. Plugins no longer take the `config` parameter. This can be accessed
from the interface via the `.get_plugin_config()` engine call.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
Not only does this have plugin protocol changes, it will require plugins
to make some code changes before they will work again. But on the plus
side, the engine call feature is extensible, and we can add more things
to it as needed.
Plugin maintainers will have to change the trait signature at the very
least. If they were using `config`, they will have to call
`engine.get_plugin_config()` instead.
If they were using the mutable reference to the plugin, they will have
to come up with some strategy to work around it (for example, for `Inc`
I just cloned it). This shouldn't be such a big deal at the moment as
it's not like plugins have ever run as daemons with persistent state in
the past, and they don't in this PR either. But I thought it was
important to make the change before we support plugins as daemons, as an
exclusive mutable reference is not compatible with parallel plugin
calls.
I suggest this gets merged sometime *after* the current pending release,
so that we have some time to adjust to the previous plugin protocol
changes that don't require code changes before making ones that do.

I will document the additional protocol features (`EngineCall`,
`EngineCallResponse`), and constraints on plugin call processing if
engine calls are used - basically, to be aware that an engine call could
result in a nested plugin call, so the plugin should be able to handle
that.

This PR adds a new evaluator path with callbacks to a mutable trait
object implementing a Debugger trait. The trait object can do anything,
e.g., profiling, code coverage, step debugging. Currently,
entering/leaving a block and a pipeline element is marked with
callbacks, but more callbacks can be added as necessary. Not all
callbacks need to be used by all debuggers; unused ones are simply empty
calls. A simple profiler is implemented as a proof of concept.
The debugging support is implementing by making `eval_xxx()` functions
generic depending on whether we're debugging or not. This has zero
computational overhead, but makes the binary slightly larger (see
benchmarks below). `eval_xxx()` variants called from commands (like
`eval_block_with_early_return()` in `each`) are chosen with a dynamic
dispatch for two reasons: to not grow the binary size due to duplicating
the code of many commands, and for the fact that it isn't possible
because it would make Command trait objects object-unsafe.
In the future, I hope it will be possible to allow plugin callbacks such
that users would be able to implement their profiler plugins instead of
having to recompile Nushell.
[DAP](https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/) would also be
interesting to explore.
Try `help debug profile`.
## Screenshots
Basic output:
To profile with more granularity, increase the profiler depth (you'll
see that repeated `is-windows` calls take a large chunk of total time,
making it a good candidate for optimizing):
## Benchmarks
### Binary size
Binary size increase vs. main: **+40360 bytes**. _(Both built with
`--release --features=extra,dataframe`.)_
### Time
```nushell
# bench_debug.nu
use std bench
let test = {
1..100
| each {
ls | each {|row| $row.name | str length }
}
| flatten
| math avg
}
print 'debug:'
let res2 = bench { debug profile $test } --pretty
print $res2
```
```nushell
# bench_nodebug.nu
use std bench
let test = {
1..100
| each {
ls | each {|row| $row.name | str length }
}
| flatten
| math avg
}
print 'no debug:'
let res1 = bench { do $test } --pretty
print $res1
```
`cargo run --release -- bench_debug.nu` is consistently 1--2 ms slower
than `cargo run --release -- bench_nodebug.nu` due to the collection
overhead + gathering the report. This is expected. When gathering more
stuff, the overhead is obviously higher.
`cargo run --release -- bench_nodebug.nu` vs. `nu bench_nodebug.nu` I
didn't measure any difference. Both benchmarks report times between 97
and 103 ms randomly, without one being consistently higher than the
other. This suggests that at least in this particular case, when not
running any debugger, there is no runtime overhead.
## API changes
This PR adds a generic parameter to all `eval_xxx` functions that forces
you to specify whether you use the debugger. You can resolve it in two
ways:
* Use a provided helper that will figure it out for you. If you wanted
to use `eval_block(&engine_state, ...)`, call `let eval_block =
get_eval_block(&engine_state); eval_block(&engine_state, ...)`
* If you know you're in an evaluation path that doesn't need debugger
support, call `eval_block::<WithoutDebug>(&engine_state, ...)` (this is
the case of hooks, for example).
I tried to add more explanation in the docstring of `debugger_trait.rs`.
## TODO
- [x] Better profiler output to reduce spam of iterative commands like
`each`
- [x] Resolve `TODO: DEBUG` comments
- [x] Resolve unwraps
- [x] Add doc comments
- [x] Add usage and extra usage for `debug profile`, explaining all
columns

# Description
Previously, the plugin itself would also print error messages about
mismatched versions, and there could be many of them while parsing a
`register` command which would be hard to follow. This removes that
behavior so that the error message is easier to read, and also makes the
error message on the engine side mention the plugin name so that it's
easier to tell which plugin needs to be updated.
The python plugin has also been modified to make testing this behavior
easier. Just change `NUSHELL_VERSION` in the script file to something
incompatible.

Also adds `IntoSpanned` trait for easily constructing `Spanned`, and an

This patches `StreamReader`'s iterator implementation to not return any
values after an I/O error has been encountered.
Without this, it's possible for a protocol error to cause the channel to
disconnect, in which case every call to `recv()` returns an error, which
causes the iterator to produce error values infinitely. There are some
commands that don't immediately stop after receiving an error so it's
possible that they just get stuck in an infinite error. This fixes that
so the error is only produced once, and then the stream ends
artificially.
# Description
This fixes a race condition where all interfaces to a plugin might have
been dropped, but both sides are still expecting input, and the
`PluginInterfaceManager` doesn't get a chance to see that the interfaces
have been dropped and stop trying to consume input.
As the manager needs to hold on to a writer, we can't automatically
close the stream, but we also can't interrupt it if it's in a waiting to
read. So the best solution is to send a message to the plugin that we
are no longer going to be sending it any plugin calls, so that it knows
that it can exit when it's done.
This race condition is a little bit tricky to trigger as-is, but can be
more noticeable when running plugins in a tight loop. If too many plugin
processes are spawned at one time, Nushell can start to encounter "too
many open files" errors, and not be very useful.

# Description
#11492 fixed flags for builtin commands but I missed that plugins don't
use the same `has_flag` that builtins do. This PR addresses this.
Unfortunately this means that return value of `has_flag` needs to change
from `bool` to `Result<bool, ShellError>` to produce an error when
explicit value is not a boolean (just like in case of `has_flag` for
builtin commands. It is not possible to check this in
`EvaluatedCall::try_from_call` because
# User-Facing Changes
Passing explicit values to flags of plugin commands (like `--flag=true`
`--flag=false`) should work now.
BREAKING: changed return value of `EvaluatedCall::has_flag` method from
`bool` to `Result<bool, ShellError>`
# Tests + Formatting
Added tests and updated documentation and examples
# Description
When nushell calls a plugin it now sends a configuration `Value` from
the nushell config under `$env.config.plugins.PLUGIN_SHORT_NAME`. This
allows plugin authors to read configuration provided by plugin users.
The `PLUGIN_SHORT_NAME` must match the registered filename after
`nu_plugin_`. If you register `target/debug/nu_plugin_config` the
`PLUGIN_NAME` will be `config` and the nushell config will loook like:
$env.config = {
# ...
plugins: {
config: [
some
values
]
}
}
Configuration may also use a closure which allows passing values from
`$env` to a plugin:
$env.config = {
# ...
plugins: {
config: {||
$env.some_value
}
}
}
This is a breaking change for the plugin API as the `Plugin::run()`
function now accepts a new configuration argument which is an
`&Option<Value>`. If no configuration was supplied the value is `None`.
Plugins compiled after this change should work with older nushell, and
will behave as if the configuration was not set.
Initially discussed in #10867
# User-Facing Changes
* Plugins can read configuration data stored in `$env.config.plugins`
* The plugin `CallInfo` now includes a `config` entry, existing plugins

Finishes implementing https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/10598,

This PR will allow spreading arguments to commands (both internal and
external). It will also deprecate spreading arguments automatically when
passing to external commands.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
- Users will be able to use `...` to spread arguments to custom/builtin
commands that have rest parameters or allow unknown arguments, or to any
external command
- If a custom command doesn't have a rest parameter and it doesn't allow
unknown arguments either, the spread operator will not be allowed
- Passing lists to external commands without `...` will work for now but
will cause a deprecation warning saying that it'll stop working in 0.91
(is 2 versions enough time?)
Here's a function to help with demonstrating some behavior:
```nushell
> def foo [ a, b, c?, d?, ...rest ] { [$a $b $c $d $rest] | to nuon }
```
You can pass a list of arguments to fill in the `rest` parameter using
`...`:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 4 ...[5 6]
[1, 2, 3, 4, [5, 6]]
```
If you don't use `...`, the list `[5 6]` will be treated as a single
argument:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 4 [5 6] # Note the double [[]]
[1, 2, 3, 4, [[5, 6]]]
```
You can omit optional parameters before the spread arguments:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 ...[4 5] # d is omitted here
[1, 2, 3, null, [4, 5]]
```
If you have multiple lists, you can spread them all:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 ...[4 5] 6 7 ...[8] ...[]
[1, 2, 3, null, [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]]
```
Here's the kind of error you get when you try to spread arguments to a
command with no rest parameter:
And this is the warning you get when you pass a list to an external now
(without `...`):

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

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

# Description
Changes `FromValue` to take owned `Value`s instead of borrowed `Value`s.
This eliminates some unnecessary clones (e.g., in `call_ext.rs`).
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking API change for `nu_protocol`.
# Description
The issue #10318 is resolved by introducing helper methods within the
existing `get_documentation` function in the nu-engine crate. Initially,
I considered using nu-color-config crate to convert HEX config color to
ANSI color and employing the following method
[https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-color-config/src/color_config.rs#L9C1-L20C2](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-color-config/src/color_config.rs#L9C1-L20C2).
However, this approach was deemed impractical due to circular
dependencies. Consequently, in a manner akin to how we invoke the
`table` command from the nu-command crate in `get_documentation`
function to create a themed-colored table, we invoke the `ansi` command
from nu-command to obtain the ANSI theme color code.
# User-Facing Changes
Visual Changes Only: the help command now uses configured theme, else it
falls back on default hard coded values.

As part of the refactor to split spans off of Value, this moves to using
helper functions to create values, and using `.span()` instead of
matching span out of Value directly.
Hoping to get a few more helping hands to finish this, as there are a
lot of commands to update :)

As other projects are investigating, this should pin serde to the last
stable release before binary requirements were introduced.

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

This PR reverts https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9391
We try not to revert PRs like this, though after discussion with the
Nushell team, we decided to revert this one.
The main reason is that Nushell, as a codebase, isn't ready for these
kinds of optimisations. It's in the part of the development cycle where
our main focus should be on improving the algorithms inside of Nushell
itself. Once we have matured our algorithms, then we can look for
opportunities to switch out technologies we're using for alternate
forms.
Much of Nushell still has lots of opportunities for tuning the codebase,
paying down technical debt, and making the codebase generally cleaner
and more robust. This should be the focus. Performance improvements
should flow out of that work.
Said another, optimisation that isn't part of tuning the codebase is
premature at this stage. We need to focus on doing the hard work of
making the engine, parser, etc better.
