# Description
This PR disallows blocks as first-class values by removing the ability
to create them using the `block` syntax shape or type. Now, the parser
will only ever be able to create closures as first-class values.
This means that `{ 3 }` will always be treated as a closure, unless used
in the specifically supported use case of the literal being given as an
arg to `for`, `if` and other built-in block users.
Note: first-class value here means "value that can be passed into
commands and held in variables"
# User-Facing Changes
This may break some user scripts as `: block` is no longer allows as a
type annotation. Note: these cases were not actually supported before,
as, for example, passing a block that accessed a variable would have
errored when the block was later evaluated.
Closures do not have the restriction mentioned above and are the much
safer value to pass as first-class, so now they are the only block-like
value to be allowed to be passed.

# Description
For years, Nushell has used `let-env` to set a single environment
variable. As our work on scoping continued, we refined what it meant for
a variable to be in scope using `let` but never updated how `let-env`
would work. Instead, `let-env` confusingly created mutations to the
command's copy of `$env`.
So, to help fix the mental model and point people to the right way of
thinking about what changing the environment means, this PR removes
`let-env` to encourage people to think of it as updating the command's
environment variable via mutation.
Before:
```
let-env FOO = "BAR"
```
Now:
```
$env.FOO = "BAR"
```
It's also a good reminder that the environment owned by the command is
in the `$env` variable rather than global like it is in other shells.
# User-Facing Changes
BREAKING CHANGE BREAKING CHANGE
This completely removes `let-env FOO = "BAR"` so that we can focus on
`$env.FOO = "BAR"`.

# Description
This PR does a few things to help improve type hovers and, in the
process, fixes a few outstanding issues in the type system. Here's a
list of the changes:
* `for` now will try to infer the type of the iteration variable based
on the expression it's given. This fixes things like `for x in [1, 2, 3]
{ }` where `x` now properly gets the int type.
* Removed old input/output type fields from the signature, focuses on
the vec of signatures. Updated a bunch of dataframe commands that hadn't
moved over. This helps tie things together a bit better
* Fixed inference of types from subexpressions to use the last
expression in the block
* Fixed handling of explicit types in `let` and `mut` calls, so we now
respect that as the authoritative type
I also tried to add `def` input/output type inference, but unfortunately
we only know the predecl types universally, which means we won't have
enough information to properly know what the types of the custom
commands are.
# User-Facing Changes
Script typechecking will get tighter in some cases
Hovers should be more accurate in some cases that previously resorted to
any.

# Description
This splits off `scope` from `$nu`, creating a set of `scope` commands
for the various types of scope you might be interested in.
This also simplifies the `$nu` variable a bit.
# User-Facing Changes
This changes `$nu` to be a bit simpler and introduces a set of `scope`
subcommands.

# Description
- fixes: #5517
- fixes: #9250
For the following commands:
```
ls
# | le
| length
```
I found that it generates a bad lite parsing result:
```
LiteBlock {
block: [
LitePipeline {
commands: [
Command(None, LiteCommand { comments: [], parts: [Span { start: 138600, end: 138602 }] })
]
},
LitePipeline {
commands: [
Command(Some(Span { start: 138610, end: 138611 }),
LiteCommand { comments: [Span { start: 138603, end: 138609 }], parts: [Span { start: 138612, end: 138618 }] })
]
}
]
}
```
Which should contains only one `LitePipeline`, and the second
`LitePipeline` is generated because of `Eol` lex token:
```
[
Token { contents: Item, span: Span { start: 138600, end: 138602 } },
Token { contents: Eol, span: Span { start: 138602, end: 138603 } }, // it generates the second LitePipeline
Token { contents: Comment, span: Span { start: 138603, end: 138609 } },
Token { contents: Pipe, span: Span { start: 138610, end: 138611 } },
Token { contents: Item, span: Span { start: 138612, end: 138618 } }
]
```
To fix the issue, I remove the `Eol` token when we meet `Comment` right
after `Eol`, then it will generate a good LiteBlock, and everything will
work fine.
### After the fix:
Token:
```
[
Token { contents: Item, span: Span { start: 138618, end: 138620 } },
Token { contents: Comment, span: Span { start: 138622, end: 138628 } },
Token { contents: Pipe, span: Span { start: 138629, end: 138630 } },
Token { contents: Item, span: Span { start: 138631, end: 138637 } }
]
```
LiteBlock:
```
LiteBlock {
block: [
LitePipeline {
commands: [
Command(
None,
LiteCommand {
comments: [Span { start: 138622, end: 138628 }],
parts: [Span { start: 138618, end: 138620 }]
}
),
Command(
Some(Span { start: 138629, end: 138630 }),
LiteCommand { comments: [], parts: [Span { start: 138631, end: 138637 }] })] }] }

closes#9111
# Description
this pr improves parsing of values with units (`filesizes`, `durations`
and any other **future values**) by:
1. allowing underscores in the value part
```nu
> 42kb # okay
> 42_sec # okay
> 1_000_000mib # okay
> 69k_b # not okay, underscores not allowed in the unit
```
2. improving error messages involving these values
```nu
> sleep 40-sec
# before
Error: nu::parser::parse_mismatch
× Parse mismatch during operation.
╭─[entry #42:1:1]
1 │ sleep 40-sec

# now
Error:
× duration value must be a number
╭─[entry #41:1:1]
1 │ sleep 40-sec
· ─┬─
· ╰── not a number
╰────
```
3. unifying parsing of these values. now all of these use one function
# User-Facing Changes
filesizes and durations can now have underscores for readability
Related to #8368.
# Description
as planned in #8311, the `enter`, `shells`, `g`, `n` and `p` commands
have been re-implemented in pure-`nushell` in the standard library.
this PR removes the `rust` implementations of these commands.
- all the "shells" tests have been removed from
`crates/nu-commnand/tests/commands/` in
2cc6a82da6, except for the `exit` command
- `cd` does not use the `shells` feature in its source code anymore =>
that does not change its single-shell behaviour
- all the command implementations have been removed from
`crates/nu-command/src/shells/`, except for `exit.rs` => `mod.rs` has
been modified accordingly
- the `exit` command now does not compute any "shell" related things
- the `--now` option has been removed from `exit`, as it does not serve
any purpose without sub-shells
# User-Facing Changes
users may now not use `enter`, `shells`, `g`, `n` and `p`
now they would have to use the standard library to have access to
equivalent features, thanks to the `dirs.nu` module introduced by @bobhy
in #8368

Show parameter defaults in scope command signature, where they're
available for display by help.
per https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8928.
I found unexpected ramifications in one completer (NuHelpCompleter) and
plugins, which both use the flag-formatting routine from builtin help.
For the moment I made the minimum necessary changes to get the mainline
scenario to pass tests and run. But we should circle back on what to do
with plugins and help completer..
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
1. New `parameter_default` column to `signatures` table in
`$nu.scope.commands`
It is populated with whatever parameters can be defaulted: currently
positional args and named flags.
2. Built in help (both `help <command>` and `<command> --help` will
display the defaults
3. Help completer will display defaults for flags, but not for
positionals.
Example:
A custom command with some default parameters:
```
〉cat ~/work/dflts.nu
# sample function to show defaults in help
export def main [
arg1: string # mandatory positional
arg2:string=abc # optional positional
--switch # no default here
--named:int # named flag, no default
--other:string=def # flag
--hard:record<foo:int bar:string, bas:bool> # default can be compound type
= {foo:22, bar:"other worlds", bas:false}
] { {arg1: $arg1,
arg2: $arg2,
switch: $switch,
named: $named,
other: $other,
hard: $hard, }
}
〉use ~/work/dflts.nu
〉$nu.scope.commands | where name == 'dflts' | get signatures.0.any | reject short_flag description custom_completion

〉help dflts
sample function to show defaults in help
Usage:
> dflts {flags} <arg1> (arg2)
Flags:
--switch - switch -- no default here
--named <Int> - named flag, typed, but no default
--other <String> - flag with default (default: 'def')
--hard <Record([("foo", Int), ("bar", String), ("bas", Boolean)])> - default can be compound type (default: {foo: 22, bar: 'other worlds', bas: false})
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
Parameters:
arg1 <string>: mandatory positional
arg2 <string>: optional positional (optional, default: 'abc')
```
Compared to (relevant bits of) help output previously:
```
Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
-, --switch - no default here
-, --named <int> - named flag, no default
-, --other <string> - flag
-, --hard <record<foo: int, bar: string, bas: bool>> - default can be compound type
Signatures:
<any> | dflts <string> <string> -> <any>
Parameters:
arg1 <string>: mandatory positional
(optional) arg2 <string>: optional positional

# Description
Follow-up of #8940. As @bobhy pointed out, it makes sense for the
behaviour of flags to match the one for positional arguments, where
default values are of type `Option<Value>` instead of
`Option<Expression>`.
# User-Facing Changes

- Flag default values will now be parsed as constants.
- If the default value is not a constant, a parser error is displayed.

The [only affected
test](d42c2b2dbc/src/tests/test_engine.rs (L325-L328))

# Description
follow up to #8529
cleaned up version of #8892
- the original syntax is okay
```nu
def okay [rec: record] {}
```
- you can now add type annotations for fields if you know
them before hand
```nu
def okay [rec: record<name: string>] {}
```
- you can specify multiple fields
```nu
def okay [person: record<name: string age: int>] {}
# an optional comma is allowed
def okay [person: record<name: string, age: int>] {}
```
- if annotations are specified, any use of the command will be type
checked against the specified type
```nu
def unwrap [result: record<ok: bool, value: any>] {}
unwrap {ok: 2, value: "value"}
# errors with
Error: nu::parser::type_mismatch
× Type mismatch.
╭─[entry #4:1:1]

· ───────┬─────
· ╰── expected record<ok: bool, value: any>, found record<ok: int, value: string>
╰────
```
> here the error is in the `ok` field, since `any` is coerced into any
type
> as a result `unwrap {ok: true, value: "value"}` is okay
- the key must be a string, either quoted or unquoted
```nu
def err [rec: record<{}: list>] {}
# errors with
Error:
× `record` type annotations key not string
╭─[entry #7:1:1]
1 │ def unwrap [result: record<{}: bool, value: any>] {}
· ─┬
· ╰── must be a string
╰────
```
- a key doesn't have to have a type in which case it is assumed to be
`any`
```nu
def okay [person: record<name age>] {}
def okay [person: record<name: string age>] {}
```
- however, if you put a colon, you have to specify a type
```nu
def err [person: record<name: >] {}
# errors with
Error: nu::parser::parse_mismatch
× Parse mismatch during operation.
╭─[entry #12:1:1]

# User-Facing Changes
**[BREAKING CHANGES]**
- this change adds a field to `SyntaxShape::Record` so any plugins that
used it will have to update and include the field. though if you are
unsure of the type the record expects, `SyntaxShape::Record(vec![])`
will suffice

This should be a little more efficient when running the algorithm to
find the captured variables.

# Description
_Fixes #5923_
Currently `nushell` doesn't allow short flag batches to contain
arguments, despite this being a common pattern in commands like `git
commit -am 'My commit message'`. This PR relaxes this so that the last
flag in the batch can take an argument.
# User-Facing Changes
- `nu::parser::short_flag_arg_cant_take_arg` has been replaced by
`nu::parser::only_last_flag_in_batch_can_take_arg` and is displayed when
a flag other then the last in a short flag batch takes an argument.
# Tests + Formatting
- Both
[`test_parser.rs`](48af0ebc3c/crates/nu-parser/tests/test_parser.rs (L640-L704))
and
[`test_known_external.rs`](48af0ebc3c/src/tests/test_known_external.rs (L42-L61))
have been updated to test the new allowed and disallowed scenarios.

# Description
This PR is just a minor development improvement. While working on
another feature, I noticed that the root crate lists the super useful
`pretty_assertions` in the root crate but doesn't use it in most tests.
With this change `pretty_assertions::assert_eq!` is used instead of
`core::assert_eq!` for better diffs when debugging the tests.
I thought of adding the dependency to other crates but I decided not to
since I didn't want a huge disruptive PR :)
# Description
This improves the operation mismatch error in a few ways:
* We now detect if the left-hand side of the operation is at fault, and
show a simpler error/error message if it is
* Removed the unhelpful hint
* Updated the error text to make it clear what types are causing the
issue

Since 8653 returns canonicalizes config paths now, the tests need to

# Description
This allows for type inference to infer record types in more cases. The
only time we will now fall back to `Any` is when one of the fields has a
computed value.
I also updated the type mismatch error and highlighting to be in-line
with other errors.
# User-Facing Changes
This may result in stricter type checking. Previously `{}` had the
inferred type `Any` but will now have the correct inferred type of
`Record<>`.

Prior to this PR, the less/greater than operators (`<`, `>`, `<=`, `>=`)
would throw an error if either side was null. After this PR, these
operators return null if either side (or both) is null.
### Examples
```bash
1 < 3 # true
1 < null # null
null < 3 # null
null < null # null
```
### Motivation
JT [asked the C#
folks](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/615329862395101194/1086137515053957140)
and this is apparently the approach they would choose for comparison
operators if they could start from scratch.
This PR makes `where` more convenient to use on jagged/missing data. For
example, we can now filter on columns that may not be present in every
row:
```
> [{foo: 123} {}] | where foo? > 10
╭───┬─────╮
│ # │ foo │
├───┼─────┤
│ 0 │ 123 │
╰───┴─────╯

This is a follow-up to https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/8379 and
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/discussions/8502.
This PR makes it so that the new `?` syntax for marking a path member as
optional short-circuits, as voted on in the
[8502](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/discussions/8502) poll.
Previously, `{ foo: 123 }.bar?.baz` would raise an error:
```
> { foo: 123 }.bar?.baz
× Data cannot be accessed with a cell path
╭─[entry #15:1:1]
1 │ { foo: 123 }.bar?.baz
· ─┬─
· ╰── nothing doesn't support cell paths
╰────
```
Here's what was happening:
1. The `bar?` path member access returns `nothing` because there is no field named `bar` on the record
2. The `baz` path member access fails when trying to access a `baz` field on that `nothing` value
After this change, `{ foo: 123 }.bar?.baz` returns `nothing`; the failed `bar?` access immediately returns `nothing` and the `baz` access never runs.
# Description
This is an experiment to see what switching the `let/let-env` family to
math expressions for initialisers would be like.
# User-Facing Changes
This would require any commands you call from `let x = <command here>`
(and similar family) to call the command in parentheses. `let x = (foo)`
to call `foo`.

`any`, `each`, `all`, `where` command accepts closure, it forces user

help: Try add || to the beginning of closure
```
`with-env`, `do`, `def`, `try` are special, they still remain the same,
although it says that it accepts a closure, but they don't need to be
written like `{||`, it's more likely a block but can capture variable
outside of scope:
```
❯ def test [input] { echo [0 1 2] | do { do { echo $input } } }; test aaa
aaa

Just realize that It's a big breaking change, we need to update config

# Description
This adds a new cell path literal syntax for use in any value position,
not just in a context where we expect a cell path.
This can be used to assign to a variable and then later use that
variable as a cell path.
Example:
```
> let cell_path = $.a.b
> {a: {b: 3}} | get $cell_path
3
```
# User-Facing Changes
This adds the syntax `$.a.b` to universally mean the cell path `a.b`,

## Summary
This PR lets you use `?` to indicate that a member in a cell path is
optional and Nushell should return `null` if that member cannot be
accessed.
Unlike the previous PR, `?` is now a _postfix_ modifier for cell path
members. A cell path of `.foo?.bar` means that `foo` is optional and
`bar` is not.
`?` does _not_ suppress all errors; it is intended to help in situations
where data has "holes", i.e. the data types are correct but something is
missing. Type mismatches (like trying to do a string path access on a
date) will still fail.
### Record Examples
```bash
{ foo: 123 }.foo # returns 123
{ foo: 123 }.bar # errors
{ foo: 123 }.bar? # returns null
{ foo: 123 } | get bar # errors
{ foo: 123 } | get bar? # returns null
{ foo: 123 }.bar.baz # errors
{ foo: 123 }.bar?.baz # errors because `baz` is not present on the result from `bar?`
{ foo: 123 }.bar.baz? # errors
{ foo: 123 }.bar?.baz? # returns null
```

# Breaking changes
1. Column names with `?` in them now need to be quoted.
2. The `-i`/`--ignore-errors` flag has been removed from `get` and
`select`
1. After this PR, most `get` error handling can be done with `?` and/or
`try`/`catch`.
4. Cell path accesses like this no longer work without a `?`:
```bash
〉[{a:1 b:2} {a:3}].b.0
2
```
We had some clever code that was able to recognize that since we only
want row `0`, it's OK if other rows are missing column `b`. I removed
that because it's tricky to maintain, and now that query needs to be
written like:
```bash
〉[{a:1 b:2} {a:3}].b?.0
2

I think the regression is acceptable for now. I plan to do more work in
the future to enable streaming of cell path accesses, and when that
happens I'll be able to make `.b.0` work again.
# Description
The `spam` command is not always going to be missing, as is the case
with this sgml tool: https://linux.die.net/man/1/spam
Rename `spam` and `foo` to something more unique so we have a lower
chance of colliding with other names on the system.

# Description
This PR adds an alternative alias implementation. Old aliases still work
but you need to use `old-alias` instead of `alias`.
Instead of replacing spans in the original code and re-parsing, which
proved to be extremely error-prone and a constant source of panics, the
new implementation creates a new command that references the old
command. Consider the new alias defined as `alias ll = ls -l`. The
parser creates a new command called `ll` and remembers that it is
actually a `ls` command called with the `-l` flag. Then, when the parser
sees the `ll` command, it will translate it to `ls -l` and passes to it
any parameters that were passed to the call to `ll`. It works quite
similar to how known externals defined with `extern` are implemented.
The new alias implementation should work the same way as the old
aliases, including exporting from modules, referencing both known and
unknown externals. It seems to preserve custom completions and pipeline
metadata. It is quite robust in most cases but there are some rough
edges (see later).
Fixes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/7648,

No effect: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8122 (we might
revisit the completions code after this PR)
Should use custom command instead:

# User-Facing Changes
Since aliases are now basically commands, it has some new implications:
1. `alias spam = "spam"` (requires command call)
* **workaround**: use `alias spam = echo "spam"`
2. `def foo [] { 'foo' }; alias foo = ls -l` (foo defined more than
once)
* **workaround**: use different name (commands also have this
limitation)
4. `alias ls = (ls | sort-by type name -i)`
* **workaround**: Use custom command. _The common issue with this is
that it is currently not easy to pass flags through custom commands and
command referencing itself will lead to stack overflow. Both of these
issues are meant to be addressed._
5. TODO: Help messages, `which` command, `$nu.scope.aliases`, etc.
* Should we treat the aliases as commands or should they be separated
from regular commands?
6. Needs better error message and syntax highlight for recursed alias
(`alias f = f`)
7. Can't create alias with the same name as existing command (`alias ls
= ls -a`)
* Might be possible to add support for it (not 100% sure)
8. Standalone `alias` doesn't list aliases anymore
9. Can't alias parser keywords (e.g., stuff like `alias ou = overlay
use` won't work)
* TODO: Needs a better error message when attempting to do so
