# Description
As title, when execute external sub command, auto-trimming end
new-lines, like how fish shell does.
And if the command is executed directly like: `cat tmp`, the result
won't change.
Fixes: #6816Fixes: #3980
Note that although nushell works correctly by directly replace output of
external command to variable(or other places like string interpolation),
it's not friendly to user, and users almost want to use `str trim` to
trim trailing newline, I think that's why fish shell do this
automatically.
If the pr is ok, as a result, no more `str trim -r` is required when
user is writing scripts which using external commands.

# Tests + Formatting
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace --features=extra -- -D warnings -D
clippy::unwrap_used -A clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're
using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace --features=extra` to check that all tests pass
# After Submitting
If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.
Following up on #7180 with some feature cleanup:
- Move the `database` feature from `plugin` to `default`

* Add support for Arrow IPC file format
Add support for Arrow IPC file format to dataframes commands. Support
opening of Arrow IPC-format files with extension '.arrow' or '.ipc' in
the open-df command. Add a 'to arrow' command to write a dataframe to
Arrow IPC format.
* Add unit test for open-df on Arrow
* Add -t flag to open-df command
Add a `--type`/`-t` flag to the `open-df` command, to explicitly specify
the type of file being used. Allowed values are the same at the set of
allowed file extensions.
* Initialize join.rs as a copy of collect.rs
* Evolve StrCollect into StrJoin
* Replace 'str collect' with 'str join' everywhere
git ls-files | lines | par-each { |it| sed -i 's,str collect,str join,g' $it }
* Deprecate 'str collect'
* Revert "Deprecate 'str collect'"
This reverts commit 959d14203e.
* Change `str collect` help message to say that it is deprecated
We cannot remove `str collect` currently (i.e. via
`nu_protocol::ShellError::DeprecatedCommand` since a prominent project
uses the API:
b85542c31c/src/virtualenv/activation/nushell/activate.nu (L43)
Rename `all?`, `any?` and `empty?` to `all`, `any` and `is-empty` for sake of simplicity and consistency.
- More understandable for newcomers, that these commands are no special to others.
- `?` syntax did not really aprove readability. For me it made it worse.
- We can reserve `?` syntax for any other nushell feature.
* Add source-env test for dynamic path

* Restore Cargo.lock back
* Remove comments
* start working on source-env
* WIP
* Get most tests working, still one to go
* Fix file-relative paths; Report parser error

* Add hide-env to hide env vars; Cleanup tests
Also, there were some old unalias tests that I converted to hide.
* Add missing file
* Re-enable hide for env vars
* Fix test
* Rename did you mean error back
It was causing random tests to break
* Add decimals to int when using `into string --decimals`
* Add tests for `into string` when converting int with `--decimals`
* Apply formatting
* Merge `into_str` test files
* Comment out unused code and add TODOs
* Use decimal separator depending on system locale
* Add test helper to run closure in different locale
* Add tests for int-to-string conversion using different locales
* Add utils function to get system locale
* Add panic message when locking mutex fails
* Catch and resume panic later to prevent Mutex poisoning when test fails
* Move test to `nu-test-support` to keep `nu-utils` free of `nu-*` dependencies
See https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/6085#issuecomment-1193131694
* Rename test support fn `with_fake_locale` to `with_locale_override`
* Move `get_system_locale()` to `locale` module
* Allow overriding locale with special env variable (when not in release)
* Use special env var to override locale during testing
* Allow callback to return a value in `with_locale_override()`
* Allow multiple options in `nu!` macro
* Allow to set locale as `nu!` macro option
* Use new `locale` option of `nu!` macro instead of `with_locale_override`
Using the `locale` options does not lock the `LOCALE_OVERRIDE_MUTEX`
mutex in `nu-test-support::locale_override` but instead calls the `nu`
command directly with the `NU_LOCALE_OVERRIDE` environment variable.
This allows for parallel test excecution.
* Fix: Add option identifier for `cwd` in usage of `nu!` macro
* Rely on `Display` trait for formatting `nu!` macro command
- Removed the `DisplayPath` trait
- Implement `Display` for `AbsolutePath`, `RelativePath` and
`AbsoluteFile`
* Default to locale `en_US.UTF-8` for tests when using `nu!` macro
* Add doc comment to `nu!` macro
* Format code using `cargo fmt --all`
* Pass function directly instead of wrapping the call in a closure
https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#redundant_closure
* Pass function to `or_else()` instead of calling it inside `or()`
https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#or_fun_call
* Fix: Add option identifier for `cwd` in usage of `nu!` macro
* Allow private imports inside modules
Can call `use ...` inside modules now.
* Add more tests
* Add a leak test
* Refactor exportables; Prepare for 'export use'
* Fix description
* Implement 'export use' command
This allows re-exporting module's commands and aliases from another
module.
* Add more tests; Fix import pattern list strings
The import pattern strings didn't trim the surrounding quotes.
* Add ignored test
* Skeleton implementation
Lots and lots of TODOs
* Bootstrap simple CustomValue plugin support test
* Create nu_plugin_custom_value
* Skeleton for nu_plugin_custom_values
* Return a custom value from plugin
* Encode CustomValues from plugin calls as PluginResponse::PluginData
* Add new PluginCall variant CollapseCustomValue
* Handle CollapseCustomValue plugin calls
* Add CallInput::Data variant to CallInfo inputs
* Handle CallInfo with CallInput::Data plugin calls
* Send CallInput::Data if Value is PluginCustomValue from plugin calls
* Remove unnecessary boxing of plugins CallInfo
* Add fields needed to collapse PluginCustomValue to it
* Document PluginCustomValue and its purpose
* Impl collapsing using plugin calls in PluginCustomValue::to_base_value
* Implement proper typetag based deserialization for CoolCustomValue
* Test demonstrating that passing back a custom value to plugin works
* Added a failing test for describing plugin CustomValues
* Support describe for PluginCustomValues
- Add name to PluginResponse::PluginData
- Also turn it into a struct for clarity
- Add name to PluginCustomValue
- Return name field from PluginCustomValue
* Demonstrate that plugins can create and handle multiple CustomValues
* Add bincode to nu-plugin dependencies
This is for demonstration purposes, any schemaless binary seralization
format will work. I picked bincode since it's the most popular for Rust
but there are defintely better options out there for this usecase
* serde_json::Value -> Vec<u8>
* Update capnp schema for new CallInfo.input field
* Move call_input capnp serialization and deserialization into new file
* Deserialize Value's span from Value itself instead of passing call.head
I am not sure if this was correct and I am breaking it or if it was a
bug, I don't fully understand how nu creates and uses Spans. What should
reuse spans and what should recreate new ones?
But yeah it felt weird that the Value's Span was being ignored since in
the json serializer just uses the Value's Span
* Add call_info value round trip test
* Add capnp CallInput::Data serialization and deserialization support
* Add CallInfo::CollapseCustomValue to capnp schema
* Add capnp PluginCall::CollapseCustomValue serialization and deserialization support
* Add PluginResponse::PluginData to capnp schema
* Add capnp PluginResponse::PluginData serialization and deserialization support
* Switch plugins::custom_values tests to capnp
Both json and capnp would work now! Sadly I can't choose both at the
same time :(
* Add missing JsonSerializer round trip tests
* Handle plugin returning PluginData as a response to CollapseCustomValue
* Refactor plugin calling into a reusable function
Many less levels of indentation now!
* Export PluginData from nu_plugin
So plugins can create their very own serve_plugin with whatever
CustomValue behavior they may desire
* Error if CustomValue cannot be handled by Plugin
* Updated nu_with_plugins to handle new nushell
- Now it requires the plugin format and name to be passed in, because
we can't really guess the format
- It calls `register` with format and plugin path
- It creates a temporary folder and in it an empty temporary plugin.nu
so that the tests don't conflict with each other or with local copy of
plugin.nu
- Instead of passing the commands via stdin it passes them via the new
--commands command line argument
* Rename path to command for clarity
* Enable core_inc tests
Remove deprecated inc feature and replace with new plugin feature
* Update core_inc tests for new nu_with_plugins syntax
* Rework core_inc::can_only_apply_one
The new inc plugin doesn't error if passed more than one but instead
chooses the highest increment
* Gate all plugin tests behind feature = "plugin" instead of one by one
* Remove format!-like behavior from nu_with_plugins
nu_with_plugins had format!-like behavior where it would allow calls
such as this:
```rs
nu_with_plugins!(
cwd: "dir/",
"open {} | get {}",
"Cargo.toml",
"package.version"
)
```
And although nifty it seems to have never been used before and the same
can be achieved with a format! like so:
```rs
nu_with_plugins!(
cwd: "dir/",
format!("open {} | get {}", "Cargo.toml", "package.version")
)
```
So I am removing it to keep the complexity of the macro in check
* Add multi-plugin support to nu_with_plugins
Useful for testing interactions between plugins
* Alternative 1: run `cargo build` inside of tests
* Handle Windows by canonicalizing paths and add .exe
One VM install later and lots of learning about how command line
arguments work and here we are
* introduce external command runs to failed error, and implement semicolon relative logic
* ignore test due to semicolon works
* not raise ShellError for external commands
* update comment
* add relative test in for windows
* fix type-o

This function was a no-op for FileCompletion and CommandCompletion.
Flag- and VariableCompletion just filters with `starts_with` which
happens in both completers anyway and should therefore also be a no-op.
The remaining use case in CustomCompletion was moved into the
CustomCompletion source file.
Filtering should probably happen immediately while fetching completions
to avoid unnecessary memory allocations.

* Remove panic from BlockCommands run function
Instead of panicing, the run method now returns an error to prevent
nushell from unexpected termination.
* Add ability to open command to run with blocks
The open command tries to parse the content of the file
if there is a command called 'from (file ending)'. This works
fine if the command was 'built in' because the run method doesn't
fail in this case. It did fail on a BlockCommand, though.
This change will first probe if the command contains a block and
evaluate it, if this is the case. If there is no block, it will run
the command the same way as before.

* Add test for passing binary data through externals
This change adds an ignored test to confirm that binary data is passed
correctly between externals to be enabled in a later commit along with
the fix.
To assist in platform agnostic testing of binary data a couple of
additional testbins were added to allow testing on `Value::Binary` inside
`ExternalStream`.
* Support binary data to stdin of run-external
Prior to this change, any pipeline producing binary data (not detected
as string) then feed into an external would be ignored due to
run-external only supporting `Value::String` on stdin.
This change adds binary stdin support for externals allowing something
like this for example:
〉^cat /dev/urandom | ^head -c 1MiB | ^pv -b | ignore
1.00MiB
This would previously output `0.00 B [0.00 B/s]` due to the data not
being pushed to stdin at each stage.
* Refactor & fix which
Instead of fetching all definitions / aliases, only show the one that is
visible.
* Fix $nu.scope to show only visible definitions
* Add missing tests file; Rename one which test
* fix#4161
println! and friends will panic on BrokenPipe. The solution is to use
writeln! instead, and ignore the error (or do we want to do something else?)
* test that nu doesn't panic in case of BrokenPipe error
* fixup! test that nu doesn't panic in case of BrokenPipe error
* make do_not_panic_if_broken_pipe only run on UNIX systems
* fix#4140
We are passing commands into a shell underneath but we were not
escaping arguments correctly. This new version of the code also takes
into consideration the ";" and "&" characters, which have special
meaning in shells.
We would probably benefit from a more robust way to join arguments to
shell programs. Python's stdlib has shlex.join, and perhaps we can
take that implementation as a reference.
* clean up escaping of posix shell args
I believe the right place to do escaping of arguments was in the
spawn_sh_command function. Note that this change prevents things like:
^echo "$(ls)"
from executing the ls command. Instead, this will just print
$(ls)
The regex has been taken from the python stdlib implementation of shlex.quote

```
Adding a more flexible approach for creating error values. One use case, for instance is the
idea of a test framework. A failed assertion instead of printing to the screen it could create
tables with more details of the failed assertion and pass it to this command for making a full
fledge error that Nu can show. This can (and should) be extended for capturing error values as well
in the pipeline. One could also use it for inspection.
For example: `.... | error inspect { # inspection here }`
or "error handling" as well, like so: `.... | error capture { fix here }`
However, we start here only with `error make` that creates an error value for you with limited support for the time being.

* Remove redundant clone
* Add tests
* Allow environment variables to be hidden
This change allows environment variables in Nushell to have a value of
`Nothing`, which can be set by the user by passing `$nothing` to
`let-env` and friends.
Environment variables with a value of Nothing behave as if they are not
set at all. This allows a user to shadow the value of an environment
variable in a parent scope, effectively removing it from their current
scope. This was not possible before, because a scope can not affect its
parent scopes.
This is a workaround for issues like #3920.
Additionally, this allows a user to simultaneously set, change and
remove multiple environment variables via `load-env`. Any environment
variables set to $nothing will be hidden and thus act as if they are
removed. This simplifies working with virtual environments, which rely
on setting multiple environment variables, including PATH, to specific
values, and remove/change them on deactivation.
One surprising behavior is that an environment variable set to $nothing
will act as if it is not set when querying it (via $nu.env.X), but it is
still possible to remove it entirely via `unlet-env`. If the same
environment variable is present in the parent scope, the value in the
parent scope will be visible to the user. This might be surprising
behavior to users who are not familiar with the implementation details.
An additional corner case is the the shorthand form of `with-env` does
not work with this feature. Using `X=$nothing` will set $nu.env.X to the
string "$nothing". The long-form works as expected: `with-env [X
$nothing] {...}`.
* Remove unused import
* Allow all primitives to be convert to strings
Some environment variables, such as `RUST_LOG` include equals signs. Nushell
should support this in the shorthand environment variable syntax so that
developers using these variables can control them easily. We accomplish this by
swapping `std::str::split` for `std::str::splitn`, which ensures that we only
consider the first equals sign in the string instead of all of them, which we
did previously.
Closes#3867
Added test cases that ensure that special characters in path names are passed
to external commands correctly. These cases have been implemented with rstest
to reuse existing test code.
* Add the load-env command
load-env can be used to add environment variables dynamically via an
InputStream. This allows developers to create tools that output environment
variables as key-value pairs, then have the user load those variables in using
load-env. This supplants most of the need for an `eval` command, which is
mostly used in POSIX envs for setting env vars.
Fixes#3481
* fixup! Add the load-env command
* Revert "History, more test coverage improvements, and refactorings. (#3217)"
This reverts commit 8fc8fc89aa.
* Add tests
* Refactor .nu-env
* Change logic of Config write to logic of read()
* Fix reload always appends to old vars
* Fix reload always takes last_modified of global config
* Add reload_config in evaluation context
* Reload config after writing to it in cfg set / cfg set_into
* Add --no-history to cli options
* Use --no-history in tests
* Add comment about maybe_print_errors
* Get ctrl_exit var from context.global_config
* Use context.global_config in command "config"
* Add Readme in engine how env vars are now handled
* Update docs from autoenv command
* Move history_path from engine to nu_data
* Move load history out of if
* No let before return
* Add import for indexmap
Improvements overall to Nu. Also among the changes here, we can also be more confident towards incorporating `3041`. End to end tests for checking envs properly exported to externals is not added here (since it's in the other PR)
A few things added in this PR (probably forgetting some too)
* no writes happen to history during test runs.
* environment syncing end to end coverage added.
* clean up / refactorings few areas.
* testing API for finer control (can write tests passing more than one pipeline)
* can pass environment variables in tests that nu will inherit when running.
* No longer needed.
* no longer under a module. No need to use super.
* Playground infraestructure (tests, etc) additions.
A few things to note:
* Nu can be started with a custom configuration file (`nu --config-file /path/to/sample_config.toml`). Useful for mocking the configuration on test runs.
* When given a custom configuration file Nu will save any changes to the file supplied appropiately.
* The `$nu.config-path` variable either shows the default configuration file (or the custom one, if given)
* We can now run end to end tests with finer grained control (currently, since this is baseline work, standard out) This will allow to check things like exit status, assert the contents with a format, etc)
* Remove (for another PR)
* update docs to refer to length instead of count
* rename count to length
* change all occurrences of 'count' to 'length' in tests
* format length command
