Context: @abusch is working on a semver plugin with custom values and
wants users to be able to convert them back to strings
# Description
This allows `into string` to work on custom values if their base value
representation could be converted into a string with the same rules.
# User-Facing Changes
`into string` works on custom values.
Unfortunately, I couldn't really demo this with an example, because
there aren't any custom values that can be represented that way
included.

# Description
@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.

# 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`!):

# 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).
# After Submitting
The language guide and other documentation will need to be updated.
# 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.

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.

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 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.

# Description
This makes the test a bit more complicated, but implements a timeout
loop in the script. As long as the test completes in 5 seconds it's
considered to be ok. The default is 10 seconds, so that would still be
half that.
This should help with running on the busy CI where things sometimes take
a while. Unfortunately this is a timing sensitive test. The alternative
is basically to just not test this at all because it's too difficult to
guarantee that it will complete in time. If we continue to have issues,
I might just have to take that route instead.

# Description
The intended effect of the `extra` feature has been undermined by
introducing the full builds on our release pages and having more
activity on some of the extra commands.
To simplify the feature matrix let's get rid of it and focus our effort
on truly either refining a command to well-specified behavior or
discarding it entirely from the `nu` binary and moving it into plugins.
## Details
- Remove `--features extra` from CI
- Don't explicitly name `extra` in full build wf
- Remove feature extra from build-help scripts
- Update README in `nu-cmd-extra`
- Remove feature `extra`

- Relax signature of `to html`
- Fix/ignore `html::test_no_color_flag`
- Remove dead features from `version`
- Refine `to html` type signature
# User-Facing Changes
The commands that were previously only available when building with
`--features extra` will now be available to everyone. This increases the
number of dependencies slightly but has a limited impact on the overall
binary size.
# Tests + Formatting
Some tests that were left in `nu-command` during cratification were dead
because the feature was not passed to `nu-command` and only to
`nu-cmd-lang` for feature-flag mention in `version`.
Those tests have now been either fixed or ignored in one case.
# After Submitting
There may be places in the documentation where we point to `--features
extra` that will now be moot (apart from the generated command help)
# 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.

It looks like `Playground` and `Director` in nu-tests-support haven't
gotten much love recently, so this PR is for updating them to work with
newer Nushell versions.
- `Director` adds a `--skip-plugins` argument before running `nu`, but
that doesn't exist anymore, so I removed it.
- `Director` also adds a `--perf` argument, which also doesn't exist
anymore. I added `--log-level info` instead to get the performance
output.
- It doesn't seem like anyone was using `playground::matchers`, and it
used the [hamcrest2](https://github.com/Valloric/hamcrest2-rust) crate,
which appears to be unmaintained, so I got rid of that (and the
`hamcrest2` dependency).
- Inside `tests/fixtures/playground/config` were two files in the old

# Description
As title, currently on latest main, nushell confused user if it allows
implicit casting between glob and string:
```nushell
let x = "*.txt"
def glob-test [g: glob] { open $g }
glob-test $x
```
It always expand the glob although `$x` is defined as a string.
This pr implements a solution from @kubouch :
> We could make it really strict and disallow all autocasting between
globs and strings because that's what's causing the "magic" confusion.
Then, modify all builtins that accept globs to accept oneof(glob,
string) and the rules would be that globs always expand and strings
never expand
# User-Facing Changes
After this pr, user needs to use `into glob` to invoke `glob-test`, if
user pass a string variable:
```nushell
let x = "*.txt"
def glob-test [g: glob] { open $g }
glob-test ($x | into glob)
```
Or else nushell will return an error.

# Description
Attempting to complete a directory with hidden files could cause a
variety of issues. When Rust parses the partial path to be completed
into components, it removes the trailing `.` since it interprets this to
mean "the current directory", but in the case of the completer we
actually want to treat the trailling `.` as a literal `.`. This PR fixes
this by adding a `.` back into the Path components if the last character
of the path is a `.` AND the path is longer than 1 character (eg., not
just a ".", since that correctly gets interpreted as Component::CurDir).
Here are some things this fixes:
- Panic when tab completing for hidden files in a directory with hidden
files (ex. `ls test/.`)
- Panic when tab completing a directory with only hidden files (since
the common prefix ends with a `.`, causing the previous issue)
- Mishandling of tab completing hidden files in directory (ex. `ls
~/.<TAB>` lists all files instead of just hidden files)
- Trailing `.` being inexplicably removed when tab completing a
directory without hidden files
While testing for this PR I also noticed there is a similar issue when
completing with `..` (ex. `ls ~/test/..<TAB>`) which is not fixed by
this PR (edit: see #11922).

This pr introduces the following syntax:
1. `e>|`, pipe stderr to next command. Example: `$env.FOO=bar nu
--testbin echo_env_stderr FOO e>| str length`
2. `o+e>|` and `e+o>|`, pipe both stdout and stderr to next command,
example: `$env.FOO=bar nu --testbin echo_env_mixed out-err FOO FOO e+o>|
str length`
Note: it only works for external commands. ~There is no different for
internal commands, that is, the following three commands do the same
things:~ Edit: it raises errors if we want to pipes for internal
commands
```
❯ ls e>| str length
Error: × `e>|` only works with external streams

This can help us to avoid some strange issues like the following:

The auto-completion is somehow annoying if a path contains a glob
pattern, let's say if user type `ls` and it auto-completes to <code>ls
`[a] bc.txt`</code>, and user can't list the file because it's backtick
quoted.
This pr is going to fix it.

explicit value is not a boolean (just like in case of `has_flag` for
builtin commands. It is not possible to check this in

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

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

commands.

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"] │

# Tests + Formatting
- adds a new `directory_completion/mod.nu` to the completion fixtures
- make sure `source-env`, `use` and `overlay-use` are all tested in the
_dotnu_ test
- fix all the other tests that use completions in the fixtures directory
for completions

# Description
to allow more freedom when writing complex modules, we are disabling the
auto-export of director modules.
the change was as simple as removing the crawling of files and modules
next to any `mod.nu` and update the standard library.
# User-Facing Changes
users will have to explicitely use `export module <mod>` to define
submodules and `export use <mod> <cmd>` to re-export definitions, e.g.
```nushell
# my-module/mod.nu
export module foo.nu # export a submodule
export use bar.nu bar-1 # re-export an internal command
export def top [] {
print "`top` from `mod.nu`"
}
```
```nushell
# my-module/foo.nu
export def "foo-1" [] {
print "`foo-1` from `lib/foo.nu`"
}
export def "foo-2" [] {
print "`foo-2` from `lib/foo.nu`"
}
```
```nushell
# my-module/bar.nu
export def "bar-1" [] {
print "`bar-1` from `lib/bar.nu`"
}
```
# Tests + Formatting
i had to add `export module` calls in the `tests/modules/samples/spam`
directory module and allow the `not_allowed` module to not give an
error, it is just empty, which is fine.
# After Submitting

This only affects existing tests, which still pass.
Works for all arguments and flags. Because the signature parsing doesn't
give the spans, it is flags the entire signature.
Also added a constant with reserved variable names.
Fix#11158.
# Description
The `PluginSignature` type supports extra usage but this was not
available in `plugin_name --help`. It also supports search terms but
these did not appear in `help commands`
New behavior show below is the "Extra usage for nu-example-1" line and
the "Search terms:" line
```
❯ nu-example-1 --help
PluginSignature test 1 for plugin. Returns Value::Nothing
Extra usage for nu-example-1
Search terms: example
Usage:
> nu-example-1 {flags} <a> <b> (opt) ...(rest)
Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
-f, --flag - a flag for the signature
-n, --named <String> - named string
Parameters:
a <int>: required integer value
b <string>: required string value
opt <int>: Optional number (optional)
...rest <string>: rest value string
Examples:
running example with an int value and string value
> nu-example-1 3 bb
```
Search terms are also available in `help commands`:
```
❯ help commands | where name == "nu-example-1" | select name search_terms

│ name │ search_terms │

# Description
Pretty much all operations/commands in Nushell assume that the column
names/keys in a record and thus also in a table (which consists of a
list of records) are unique.
Access through a string-like cell path should refer to a single column
or key/value pair and our output through `table` will only show the last
mention of a repeated column name.
```nu
[[a a]; [1 2]]
╭─#─┬─a─╮
│ 0 │ 2 │
╰───┴───╯
```
While the record parsing already either errors with the
`ShellError::ColumnDefinedTwice` or silently overwrites the first
occurence with the second occurence, the table literal syntax `[[header
columns]; [val1 val2]]` currently still allowed the creation of tables
(and internally records with more than one entry with the same name.
This is not only confusing, but also breaks some assumptions around how
we can efficiently perform operations or in the past lead to outright
bugs (e.g. #8431 fixed by #8446).
This PR proposes to make this an error.
After this change another hole which allowed the construction of records
with non-unique column names will be plugged.
## Parts
- Fix `SE::ColumnDefinedTwice` error code
- Remove previous tests permitting duplicate columns
- Deny duplicate column in table literal eval
- Deny duplicate column in const eval
- Deny duplicate column in `from nuon`
# User-Facing Changes
`[[a a]; [1 2]]` will now return an error:
```
Error: nu:🐚:column_defined_twice
× Record field or table column used twice
╭─[entry #2:1:1]
1 │ [[a a]; [1 2]]
· ┬ ┬
· │ ╰── field redefined here
· ╰── field first defined here
╰────
```
this may under rare circumstances block code from evaluating.
Furthermore this makes some NUON files invalid if they previously
contained tables with repeated column names.
# Tests + Formatting
Added tests for each of the different evaluation paths that materialize
tables.
# Description
Files that begin with dashes can be ambiguous when passed to commands
like `ls`. For example if there exists a file `--help`, it might be
considered a flag if not properly escaped. This PR escapes any file that
begins with a dash.
# User-Facing Changes
Files beginning with dashes will be escaped.
# Tests + Formatting
Tests are added.
# Description
This PR changes the `canonicalize_ndots` tests (renames to
canonicalize_ndots2) so that when it's checking for
`canonicalize_with("...", cwd)` it guarantees it begins in a more deeply
nested folder. I was having problems because my new DevDrive is on
D:\nushell and it can't do `cd ...` from that folder.

I wondered why this test failed for me.
Turns out my config file is not compatible with current main, but the
error message was useless. I've added `--no-config-file`
# Description
Fixes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/10605 (again).
The loop looking for `[` to determine signature position didn't stop
early enough, so it thought the second `[` denoting the inp/out types
marks the beginning of the signature.
