# Description
Fixes the issue where there is no way to escape `FOO=BAR` in a way that
treats it as a file path/executable name. Previously `^FOO=BAR` would be
handled as an environment shorthand. Now, environment shorthands are not
allowed to start with `^`. To create an environment shorthand value that
uses `^` as the first character of the environment variable name, use
quotes, eg `"^FOO"=BAR`
# User-Facing Changes
This should enable `=` being in paths and external command names in
command position.

# Description
In the past, I've seen this test
`takes_rows_of_nu_value_strings_and_pipes_it_to_stdin_of_external` fail
more than a few times. My only guess was that running external commands
in a cross-platform way can be tricky. This is the main reason we have
some `--testbin` commands, to avoid this situation. With that in mind,
this removes the `^echo` command from this one test and replaces it with
`nu --testbin cococo`, which I believe is our equivalent of echo.
Please comment below if you think this is the wrong strategy. There are
other `^echo` tests but I'm not sure if we can change all of them.

Add two rows in `$nu`, `$nu.is-interactive` and `$nu.is-login`, which
are true when nu is run in interactive and login mode respectively.
The `-i` flag now behaves a bit more like that of bash's, where the any
provided command or file is run without REPL but in "interactive mode".
This should entail sourcing interactive-mode config files, but since we
are planning on overhauling the config system soon, I'm holding off on
that. For now, all `-i` does is set `$nu.is-interactive` to be true.
About testing, I can't seem to find where cli-args get tested, so I
haven't written any new tests for this. Also I don't think there are any
docs that need updating. However if I'm wrong please tell me.

This does two fixes for bare words:
* It changes completions for paths to wrap a path with backticks if it
starts with a number. This helps bare words that start with numbers be
separate from unit values
* It allows bare words wrapped with backticks to be the name of a
command. Backtick values in command positions are no longer treated as
strings

# Description
Purely for consistency, various remaining instances of `$nothing`
(almost all of which were in test code) have been changed to `null`.
Now, the only place that refers to `$nothing` is the parser code which

Reverts nushell/nushell#7448
Some surprising behavior in how we do this. For example:
```
〉if (true || false) { print "yes!" } else { print "no!" }
no!
〉if (true or false) { print "yes!" } else { print "no!" }
yes!
```
This means for folks who are using the old `||`, they possibly get the
wrong answer once they upgrade. I don't think we can ship with that as
it will catch too many people by surprise and just make it easier to
write buggy code.
# Description
We got some feedback from folks used to other shells that `try/catch`
isn't quite as convenient as things like `||`. This PR adds `&&` as a
synonym for `;` and `||` as equivalent to what `try/catch` would do.
# User-Facing Changes
Adds `&&` and `||` pipeline operators.

# 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.

* 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.
* 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
* fix non-literal parameters and single quotes

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
