# Description
Makes `join` `right-table` support table literal notation instead of
parsing the column list (treated as empty data):
```diff
[{a: 1}] | join [[a]; [1]] a | to nuon
-[]
+[[a]; [1]]
```
Fixes#13537, fixes#14134

Cleans up various tests that unnecessarily use the `cwd` argument of
`nu!`, and the `pipeline` function for single line commands. Also
replaces some unnecessary raw strings with normal strings. Part of
#8670.

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 -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect -A clippy::result_large_err` to check that
you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
- `cargo run -- crates/nu-std/tests/run.nu` to run the tests for the
standard library

This PR adds a command `join` for performing SQL-style joins on Nushell
tables:
```
〉join -h
Join two tables
Usage:
> join {flags} <right-table> <left-on> (right-on)
Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
-i, --inner - Inner join (default)
-l, --left - Left-outer join
-r, --right - Right-outer join
-o, --outer - Outer join
Signatures:
<table> | join list<any>, <string>, <string?> -> <table>
Parameters:
right-table <list<any>>: The right table in the join
left-on <string>: Name of column in input (left) table to join on
(optional) right-on <string>: Name of column in right table to join on. Defaults to same column as left table.
Examples:
Join two tables
> [{a: 1 b: 2}] | join [{a: 1 c: 3}] a
╭───┬───┬───╮
│ a │ b │ c │
├───┼───┼───┤
│ 1 │ 2 │ 3 │
╰───┴───┴───╯
