Typing `selector -qa` into nu would cause a `panic!`
This was the case because the inner loop incremented the `idx`
that was only checked in the outer loop and used it to index into
`lite_cmd.parts[idx]`
With the fix we now break loop.

The introduction of `use <file.nu>` added the possibility of calling
`working_set.add_file()` more than once per parse pass. Some of the
logic handling the file contents offsets prevented it from working and
hopefully, this commit fixes it.
Currently, `use spam.nu` creates a module `spam`. Therefore, after the
first `use`, it is possible to call both `use spam.nu` and `use spam`
with the same effect.
In some rare cases, the global predeclarations would clash, for example:
> module spam { export def foo [] { "foo" } }; def foo [] { "bar" }
In the example, the `foo [] { "bar" }` would get predeclared first, then
the predeclaration would be overwritten and consumed by `foo [] {"foo"}`
inside the module, then when parsing the actual `foo [] { "bar" }`, it
would not find its predeclaration.
* Fixes a panic with defining two commands with the same name caused by
declaration not found after predeclaration.
* Adds a new error if a custom command is defined more than once in one
block.
* Add some tests
* Hiding logic is simplified and fixed so you can hide and unhide the
same def repeatedly.
* Separates predeclared ids into its own data structure to protect them
from hiding. Otherwise, you could hide the predeclared variable and
the actual def would panic.
* compiles on nightly now. (breaking change)
* less deps
* Switch over to new resolver
(it's been stable for a while.)
* let's leave num-format for another PR
It is implemented as a preliminary check when parsing a call and relies
on a fact that a token that successfully parses as a range is unlikely
to be a valid path or command name.
* Expand path when converting value -> PathBuf
Also includes Tagged<PathBuf>.
Fixes#3605
* Expand path for PATH env. variable
Fixes#1834
* Remove leftover Cows after nu-path refactor
There were some unnecessary Cow conversions leftover from the old
nu-path implementation.
* Use canonicalize in source command; Improve errors
Previously, `source` used `expand_path()` which does not follow
symlinks.
As a follow up, I improved the source error messages so they now tell
why the source file could not be canonicalized or read into string.
This means that commands cannot start with these characters.
However, we get the following benefits:
* Negative numbers > -10
* Ranges with negative numbers > -10..-1
* Left-unbounded ranges > ..10
* Resolve rebase artifacts
* Remove leftover dependencies on removed feature
* Remove unnecessary 'pub'
* Start taking notes and fooling around
* Split canonicalize to two versions; Add TODOs
One that takes `relative_to` and one that doesn't.
More TODO notes.
* Merge absolutize to and rename resolve_dots
* Add custom absolutize fn and use it in path expand
* Convert a couple of dunce::canonicalize to ours
* Update nu-path description
* Replace all canonicalize with nu-path version
* Remove leftover dunce dependencies
* Fix broken autocd with trailing slash
Trailing slash is preserved *only* in paths that do not contain "." or
"..". This should be fixed in the future to cover all paths but for now
it at least covers basic cases.

Given we can write nu scripts. As the codebase grows, splitting into many smaller nu scripts is necessary.
In general, when we work with paths and files we seem to face quite a few difficulties. Here we just tackle one of them and it involves sourcing
files that also source other nu files and so forth. The current working directory becomes important here and being on a different directory
when sourcing scripts will not work. Mostly because we expand the path on the current working directory and parse the files when a source command
call is done.
For the moment, we introduce a `lib_dirs` configuration value and, unfortunately, introduce a new dependency in `nu-parser` (`nu-data`) to get
a handle of the configuration file to retrieve it. This should give clues and ideas as the new parser engine continues (introduce a way to also know paths)
With this PR we can do the following:
Let's assume we want to write a nu library called `my_library`. We will have the code in a directory called `project`: The file structure will looks like this:
```
project/my_library.nu
project/my_library/hello.nu
project/my_library/name.nu
```
This "pattern" works well, that is, when creating a library have a directory named `my_library` and next to it a `my_library.nu` file. Filling them like this:
```
source my_library/hello.nu
source my_library/name.nu
```
```
def hello [] {
"hello world"
}
```
```
def name [] {
"Nu"
end
```
Assuming this `project` directory is stored at `/path/to/lib/project`, we can do:
```
config set lib_dirs ['path/to/lib/project']
```
Given we have this `lib_dirs` configuration value, we can be anywhere while using Nu and do the following:
```
source my_library.nu
echo (hello) (name)
```
* Allow sourcing paths with emojis
* Add source command tests for emoji paths
* Fmt
* Disable source tests on Windows with illegal paths
* Test sourcing also ASCII and single-quoted paths
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
In Nu we have variables (E.g. $var-name) and these contain `Value` types.
This means we can bind to variables any structured data and column path syntax
(E.g. `$variable.path.to`) allows flexibility for "querying" said structures.
Here we offer completions for these. For example, in a Nushell session the
variable `$nu` contains environment values among other things. If we wanted to
see in the screen some environment variable (say the var `SHELL`) we do:
```
> echo $nu.env.SHELL
```
with completions we can now do: `echo $nu.env.S[\TAB]` and we get suggestions
that start at the column path `$nu.env` with vars starting with the letter `S`
in this case `SHELL` appears in the suggestions.
* Fix parser expanding dots where it shouldn't
Previously, the parser would expand "a...b" as "a../..b". Now, >2 dots
are only expanded when the whole path component consists of dots (i.e.,
"..." expands to "../.." while "a...b" stays as it is).
* Respect OS separator when expanding >2 dots
"..." now expands to either "../.." or "..\..", based on the host OS.
Not all lite command's first part denotes a real command (for cases like sub commands that it's second lite part accounts for the command name). This is important so that we can refer to it's span correctly. Here we fix to include the command's name span correctly whether it's a command or sub command when reporting missing flag errors.

* Rename param_flag_list to signature
* Add tests
* Fix clippy lint
* Change imports to new lexer structure

The bulk of this pull request adds a substantial amount of new inline

to the names in the lexer, most of which were internal.
The main change that affects other files is renaming `group` to `block`,
since the function is actually parsing a block (a list of groups).
* Further clean up the lexer
- Consolidate the logic of the various token builders into a single type
- Improve and clean up the event-driven BlockParser
- Clean up comment parsing. Comments now contain their original leading
whitespace as well as trailing whitespace, and know how to move some
leading whitespace back into the body based on how the lexer decides
to dedent the comments. This preserves the original whitespace
information while still making it straight-forward to eliminate leading
whitespace in help comments.

* Add possibility to declare optional parameters and switch flags
With this commit applied it is now possible to specify optional parameters and flags
as switches. This PR **only** makes guarantees about **parsing** optional flags and
switches correctly. This PR **does not guarantee flawless functionality** of
optional parameters / switches within scripts.
functionality within scripts. Example:
test.nu
```shell
def my_command [
opt_param?
opt_param2?: int
--switch
] {echo hi nushell}
```
```shell
> source test.nu
> my_command -h
───┬─────────
0 │ hi
1 │ nushell
───┴─────────
Usage:
> my_command <mandatory_param> (opt_param) (opt_param2) {flags}
Parameters:
<mandatory_param>
(opt_param)
(opt_param2)
Flags:
-h, --help: Display this help message
--switch
--opt_flag <any>
```
* Update def docs
* Add rest arg to def
This commit applied adds the ability to define the rest parameter of a def
command. It does not implement the functionality to expand the rest argument in

The rest argument has to be exactly worded "...rest".
Example after this PR is applied:
file test.nu
```shell
def my_command [
...rest:int # My rest arg
] {
echo 1 2 3
}
```
```shell
> source test.nu
> my_command -h
Usage:
> my_command ...args {flags}
Parameters:
...args: My rest arg
Flags:
-h, --help: Display this help message

Extend the optional features to nu-command

* Put parse_definition related funcs into own module
* Add failing lexer test
* Implement Parsing of definition signature
This commit applied changes how the signature of a function is parsed. Before
there was a little bit of "quick-and-dirty" string-matching/parsing involved.
Now, a signature is a little bit more properly parsed.
The grammar of a definition signature understood by these parsing-functions is
as follows:
`[ (parameter | flag | <eol>)* ]`
where
parameter is:
`name (<:> type)? (<,> | <eol> | (#Comment <eol>))?`
flag is:
`--name (-shortform)? (<:> type)? (<,> | <eol> | (#Comment <eol>))?`
(Note: After the last item no <,> has to come.)
Note: It is now possible to pass comments to flags and parameters
Example:
[
d:int # The required d parameter
--x (-x):string # The all powerful x flag
--y (-y):int # The accompanying y flag
]
(Sadly there seems to be a bug (Or is this expected behaviour?) in the lexer, because of which `--x(-x)` would
be treated as one baseline token and is therefore not correctly recognized as 2. For
now a space has to be inserted)
During the implementation of the module, 2 question arose:
Should flag/parameter names be allowed to be type names?
Example case:
```shell
def f [ string ] { echo $string }
```
Currently an error is thrown
* Fix clippy lints
* Remove wrong comment
* Add spacing
* Add Cargo.lock
This commit applied adds comments preceding a command to the LiteCommands new
field `comments`.
This can be usefull for example when defining a function with `def`. Nushell
could pick up the comments and display them when the user types `help my_def_func`.
Example
```shell
def my_echo [arg] { echo $arg }
```
The LiteCommand def will now contain the comments `My echo` and `It's much
better :)`.
The comment is not associated with the next command if there is a (or multiple) newline
between them.
Example
```shell
echo 42
```
This new functionality is similar to DocStrings. One might introduce a special
notation for such DocStrings, so that the parser can differentiate better
between discardable comments and usefull documentation.
* Update dependencies
* Document the lexer and lightly improve its names
The bulk of this pull request adds a substantial amount of new inline
documentation for the lexer. Along the way, I made a few minor changes
to the names in the lexer, most of which were internal.

since the function is actually parsing a block (a list of groups).

Previously everything starting with "$" was parsed as a column path.
With this commit applied, the lite_arg starting with $ is parsed as
the most appropriate thing
- $true/$false ==> Expression::Boolean
- $(...) ==> Invocation
- $it ==> ColumnPath
- Anything with at least one '.' ==> ColumnPath
- Anything else ==> Variable
* Ignore failing tests
* Implement exclusive and inclusive ranges with .. and ..=
This commit adds right-exclusive ranges.
The original a..b inclusive syntax was changed to reflect the Rust notation.
New a..=b syntax was introduced to have the old behavior.
Currently, both a.. and b..= is valid, and it is unclear whether it's valid
to impose restrictions.
The original issue suggests .. for inclusive and ..< for exclusive ranges,
this can be implemented by making simple changes to this commit.
* Fix collect tests by changing ranges to ..=
* Fix clippy lints in exclusive range matching
* Implement exclusive ranges using `..<`
* remove unused dependencies

* removed commented out deps now that everything looks good.
Previously, lite parse would stack up opening delimiters in vec, and if we
didn't close everything off, it would simply return an error with a partial form
that didn't include the missing closing delimiters. This commits adds those
delimiters so that `classify_block` can parse correctly.
The completion engine maps completion locations to spans on a line, which
indicate whther to complete a command name, flag name, argument, and so on.
Initial implementation is simplistic, with some rough edges, since it relies
heavily on the parser's interpretation. For example
du -
if asking for completions, `-` is considered a positional argument by the
parser, but the user is likely looking for a flag. These scenarios will be
addressed in a series of progressive enhancements to the engine.
* Add deserialization of Primitive::Duration; Fixes#2373
* Implement Sleep command
* Add comment saying you should name your rest field "rest"
* Fix typo
* Add documentation for sleep command
* Changed time units as outlined in issue #2353.
Also applied changes to to_str for Unit - not sure if that was what was wanted.
* Forgot the tests!
* Updated primitive.rs to match changes.
* Updated where example to match changes.
* And the html test!
* Move lite_parse tests into a submodule
* Have lite_parse return partial parses when error encountered.
Although a parse fails, we can generally still return what was successfully
parsed. This is useful, for example, when figuring out completions at some
cursor position, because we can map the cursor to something more structured
(e.g., cursor is at a flag name).
Our own custom escaping unfortunately is far too simple to cover all cases.
Instead, the parser will now do no transforms on the args passed to an external
command, letting the process spawning library deal with doing the appropriate
escaping.
* refactor: expand_path and expand_ndots now work for any string.
* refactor: refactor test and add new ones.
* refactor: convert expanded to owned string
* feat: pub export of expand_ndots
* feat: add completion for ndots in fs-shell
* Refactor InputStream and affected commands.
First, making `values` private and leaning on the `Stream` implementation makes
consumes of `InputStream` less likely to have to change in the future, if we
change what an `InputStream` is internally.
Second, we're dropping `Option<InputStream>` as the input to pipelines,
internals, and externals. Instead, `InputStream.is_empty` can be used to check
for "emptiness". Empty streams are typically only ever used as the first input
to a pipeline.
* Add run_external internal command.
We want to push external commands closer to internal commands, eventually
eliminating the concept of "external" completely. This means we can consolidate
a couple of things:
- Variable evaluation (for example, `$it`, `$nu`, alias vars)
- Behaviour of whole stream vs per-item external execution
It should also make it easier for us to start introducing argument signatures
for external commands,

Restructure and streamline token expansion
The purpose of this commit is to streamline the token expansion code, by
removing aspects of the code that are no longer relevant, removing
pointless duplication, and eliminating the need to pass the same
arguments to `expand_syntax`.
The first big-picture change in this commit is that instead of a handful
of `expand_` functions, which take a TokensIterator and ExpandContext, a
smaller number of methods on the `TokensIterator` do the same job.
The second big-picture change in this commit is fully eliminating the
coloring traits, making coloring a responsibility of the base expansion
implementations. This also means that the coloring tracer is merged into
the expansion tracer, so you can follow a single expansion and see how
the expansion process produced colored tokens.
One side effect of this change is that the expander itself is marginally
more error-correcting. The error correction works by switching from
structured expansion to `BackoffColoringMode` when an unexpected token
is found, which guarantees that all spans of the source are colored, but
may not be the most optimal error recovery strategy.
That said, because `BackoffColoringMode` only extends as far as a
closing delimiter (`)`, `]`, `}`) or pipe (`|`), it does result in
fairly granular correction strategy.
The current code still produces an `Err` (plus a complete list of
colored shapes) from the parsing process if any errors are encountered,
but this could easily be addressed now that the underlying expansion is
error-correcting.
This commit also colors any spans that are syntax errors in red, and
causes the parser to include some additional information about what
tokens were expected at any given point where an error was encountered,
so that completions and hinting could be more robust in the future.

This commit contains two improvements:
- Support for a Range syntax (and a corresponding Range value)
- Work towards a signature syntax
Implementing the Range syntax resulted in cleaning up how operators in
the core syntax works. There are now two kinds of infix operators
- tight operators (`.` and `..`)
- loose operators
Tight operators may not be interspersed (`$it.left..$it.right` is a
syntax error). Loose operators require whitespace on both sides of the
operator, and can be arbitrarily interspersed. Precedence is left to
right in the core syntax.
Note that delimited syntax (like `( ... )` or `[ ... ]`) is a single
token node in the core syntax. A single token node can be parsed from
beginning to end in a context-free manner.
The rule for `.` is `<token node>.<member>`. The rule for `..` is
`<token node>..<token node>`.
Loose operators all have the same syntactic rule: `<token
node><space><loose op><space><token node>`.
The second aspect of this pull request is the beginning of support for a
signature syntax. Before implementing signatures, a necessary
prerequisite is for the core syntax to support multi-line programs.
That work establishes a few things:
- `;` and newlines are handled in the core grammar, and both count as
"separators"
- line comments begin with `#` and continue until the end of the line
In this commit, multi-token productions in the core grammar can use
separators interchangably with spaces. However, I think we will
ultimately want a different rule preventing separators from occurring
before an infix operator, so that the end of a line is always
unambiguous. This would avoid gratuitous differences between modules and
repl usage.
We already effectively have this rule, because otherwise `x<newline> |
y` would be a single pipeline, but of course that wouldn't work.
Previously, external words accidentally used
ExpansionRule::new().allow_external_command(), when it should have been
ExpansionRule::new().allow_external_word().
External words are the broadest category in the parser, and are the
appropriate category for external arguments. This was just a mistake.
Adds modules for internal, external, and dynamic commands, as well as
the pipeline functionality. These are exported as their old names from
the classified module so as to keep its "interface" the same.
`left =~ right` return true if left contains right, using Rust's
`String::contains`. `!~` is the negated version.
A new `apply_operator` function is added which decouples evaluation from
`Value::compare`. This returns a `Value` and opens the door to
implementing `+` for example, though it wouldn't be useful immediately.
The `operator!` macro had to be changed slightly as it would choke on
`~` in arguments.
This commit extracts five new crates:
- nu-source, which contains the core source-code handling logic in Nu,
including Text, Span, and also the pretty.rs-based debug logic
- nu-parser, which is the parser and expander logic
- nu-protocol, which is the bulk of the types and basic conveniences
used by plugins
- nu-errors, which contains ShellError, ParseError and error handling
conveniences
- nu-textview, which is the textview plugin extracted into a crate
One of the major consequences of this refactor is that it's no longer
possible to `impl X for Spanned<Y>` outside of the `nu-source` crate, so
a lot of types became more concrete (Value became a concrete type
instead of Spanned<Value>, for example).
This also turned a number of inherent methods in the main nu crate into
plain functions (impl Value {} became a bunch of functions in the
`value` namespace in `crate::data::value`).
