# Description
fixes#7384
This is a stop-gap fix until we remove type-directed parsing. With this,
you can create a `OneOf` shape that can be one of a list of syntax
shapes. This gives you a little more control than you get with `Any`,
allowing you to add `Block` without breaking other parsing rules.
# User-Facing Changes
`else` block will no longer capture variables as it will now use a block
instead of a closure.

# Description
This fix changes pipelines to allow them to actually be empty. Mapping
over empty pipelines gives empty pipelines. Empty pipelines immediately
return `None` when iterated.
This removes a some of where `Span::new(0, 0)` was coming from, though
there are other cases where we still use it.

# Description
Closes#7110. ~~Note that unlike "real" `mut` vars, $env can be deeply
mutated via stuff like `$env.PYTHON_IO_ENCODING = utf8` or
`$env.config.history.max_size = 2000`. So, it's a slightly awkward
special case, arguably justifiable because of what $env represents (the
environment variables of your system, which is essentially "outside"
normal Nushell regulations).~~
EDIT: Now allows all `mut` vars to be deeply mutated using `=`, on
request.

Also enforce this by #[non_exhaustive] span such that going forward we
cannot, in debug builds (1), construct invalid spans.
The motivation for this stems from #6431 where I've seen crashes due to
invalid slice indexing.
My hope is this will mitigate such senarios

# Description
I was thinking that it may be helpful to have a more verbose description
of our operators. Please let me know if you have better wording.
Also, while not strictly considered an operator, i added `not` to avoid
some confusion.

make nushell's operators more discoverable.
Operations are evaluated in the precedence order (from highest to
lowest).

# Description
This PR is a response to the issues raised in
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/7087. It consists of two
changes:
* `export-env`, when evaluated in `overlay use`, will see the original
environment. Previously, it would see the environment from previous
overlay activation.
* Added a new `--reload` flag that reloads the overlay. Custom
definitions will be kept but the original definitions and environment
will be reloaded.
This enables a pattern when an overlay is supposed to shadow an existing
environment variable, such as `PROMPT_COMMAND`, but `overlay use` would
keep loading the value from the first activation. You can easily test it
by defining a module
```
module prompt {
export-env {
let-env PROMPT_COMMAND = (date now | into string)
}
}
```
Calling `overlay use prompt` for the first time changes the prompt to
the current time, however, subsequent calls of `overlay use` won't
change the time. That's because overlays, once activated, store their
state so they can be hidden and restored at later time. To force-reload
the environment, use the new flag: Calling `overlay use --reload prompt`
repeatedly now updates the prompt with the current time each time.
# User-Facing Changes
* When calling `overlay use`, if the module has an `export-env` block,
the block will see the environment as it is _before_ the overlay is
activated. Previously, it was _after_.
* A new `overlay use --reload` flag.

# Description
This adds `break`, `continue`, `return`, and `loop`.
* `break` - breaks out a loop
* `continue` - continues a loop at the next iteration
* `return` - early return from a function call
* `loop` - loop forever (until the loop hits a break)
Examples:
```
for i in 1..10 {
if $i == 5 {
continue
}
print $i
}
```
```
for i in 1..10 {
if $i == 5 {
break
}
print $i
}
```
```
def foo [x] {
if true {
return 2
}
$x
}
foo 100
```
```
loop { print "hello, forever" }
```
```
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5] | each {|x|
if $x > 3 { break }
$x
}
```

A small follow-up to #7221. This changes the `catch` block from a block
to a closure, so that it can access the error returned from the `try`
block. This helps with a common scenario: "the `try` block failed, and I
want to log why it failed."
### Example

### Future Work
Nu's closure syntax is a little awkward here; it might be nicer to allow
something like `catch err { print $err }`. We discussed this on Discord
and it will require special parser code similar to what's already done
for `for`.
I'm not feeling confident enough in my parser knowledge to make that
change; I will spend some more time looking at the `for` code but I
doubt I will be able to implement anything in the next few days.
Volunteers welcome.
# Description
This adds `try` (with an optional `catch` piece). Much like other
languages, `try` will try to run a block. If the block fails to run
successfully, the optional `catch` block will run if it is available.
# User-Facing Changes
This adds the `try` command.

# 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.

Following up on #7180 with some feature cleanup:
- Move the `database` feature from `plugin` to `default`
- Rename the `database` feature to `sqlite`
- Remove `--features=extra` from a lot of scripts etc.
- No need to specify this, the `extra` feature is now the same as the
default feature set
- Remove the now-redundant 2nd Ubuntu test run
* add signature information when help on one command
* tell user that one command support operated on cell paths
Also, make type output to be more friendly, like `record<>` should just be `record`
And the same to `table<>`, which should be `table`
* simplify code
* don't show signatures for parser keyword
* update comment
* output arg syntax shape as type, so it's the same as describe command
* fix string when no positional args
* update signature body
* update
* add help signature test
* fix arg output format for composed data type like list or record
* fix clippy
* add comment
This adds support for (limited) mutable variables. Mutable variables are created with mut much the same way immutable variables are made with let.
Mutable variables allow mutation via the assignment operator (=).
❯ mut x = 100
❯ $x = 200
❯ print $x
200
Mutable variables are limited in that they're only tended to be used in the local code block. Trying to capture a local variable will result in an error:
❯ mut x = 123; {|| $x }
Error: nu::parser::expected_keyword (link)
× Capture of mutable variable.
The intent of this limitation is to reduce some of the issues with mutable variables in general: namely they make code that's harder to reason about. By reducing the scope that a mutable variable can be used it, we can help create local reasoning about them.
Mutation can occur with fields as well, as in this case:
❯ mut y = {abc: 123}
❯ $y.abc = 456
❯ $y
On a historical note: mutable variables are something that we resisted for quite a long time, leaning as much as we could on the functional style of pipelines and dataflow. That said, we've watched folks struggle to work with reduce as an approximation for patterns that would be trivial to express with local mutation. With that in mind, we're leaning towards the happy path.

* fix issue 6602 (broken highlighting in find)
Find uses highlight_search_string to see where the string was found. The problem was that the style would just "append" to the existing haystack (including the ANSI escape codes of LS_COLORS).
This first strips the ANSI escape codes out of the haystack before formatting the
output string.

* Test commands for proper names and search terms
Assert that the `Command.name()` is equal to `Signature.name`
Check that search terms are not just substrings of the command name as

Remove redundant terms that just replicate the command name.
Try to eliminate substring between search terms, clean up where
necessary.
