# Description
This adds a set of new flags on the `nu` binary intended for use in
IDEs. Here is the set of supported functionality so far:
* goto-def - go to the definition of a variable or custom command
* type hints - see the inferred type of variables
* check - see the errors in the document (currently only one error is
supported)
* hover - get information about the variable or custom command
* complete - get a completion list at the current position
# User-Facing Changes
No changes to the REPL experience. This only impacts the IDE scenario.
# Tests + Formatting
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

# Description
Adds two more patterns when working with lists:
```
[1, ..$remainder]
```
and
```
[1, ..]
```
The first one collects the remaining items and assigns them into the
variable. The second one ignores any remaining values.

# Description
This is to resolve the issue
[8614](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8614).
It allows the parsing of the mu (µ) character for durations, so you can
type `10µs`, and it correctly outputs, whilst maintaining the current
`us` parsing as well.
It also forces `durations` to be entered in lower case.
(The bottom one `1sec | into duration --convert us` looks like an
existing bug, where converting to `us` outputs `us` rather than `µs`)
# User-Facing Changes
Allows the user to parse durations in µs
Forces `durations` to be entered in lower case rather than any case, and
will error if not in lower case.

# 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<>`.

# Description
Require that any value that looks like it might be a number (starts with
a digit, or a '-' + digit, or a '+' + digits, or a special form float
like `-inf`, `inf`, or `NaN`) must now be treated as a number-like
value. Number-like syntax can only parse into number-like values.
Number-like values include: durations, ints, floats, ranges, filesizes,
binary data, etc.

This breaks any and all numberlike values that were treated as strings

Adds `|` patterns to `match`, allowing you to try multiple patterns for
the same case.
Example:
```
match {b: 1} { {a: $b} | {b: $b} => { print $b } }

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 │
╰───┴─────╯
```
# Description

[issue](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/8529#issuecomment-1482770636)
with list annotations that while i was trying to find a fix found
another issue.
innitially, this was accepted by the parser
```nu
def err [list: list<int> = ['a' 'b' 'c']] {}
```
but now an error is raised
```nu

examples:
the original syntax is okay
```nu
def okay [nums: list] {} # the type of list will be list<any>

empty annotations are allowed in any variation
the last two may be caught by a future formatter,
but do not affect `nu` code currently
```nu
def okay [nums: list<>] {} # okay
def okay [nums: list< >] {} # weird but also okay
def okay [nums: list<

```
types are allowed (See [notes](#notes) below)
```nu
def okay [nums: list<int>] {} # `test [a b c]` will throw an error
def okay [nums: list< int > {} # any amount of space within the angle brackets is okay
def err [nums: list <int>] {} # this is not okay, `nums` and `<int>` will be parsed as

# Description
Fix patterns in pattern matching to properly declare their variables

# Description
This adds `match` and basic pattern matching.
An example:
```
match $x {
1..10 => { print "Value is between 1 and 10" }
{ foo: $bar } => { print $"Value has a 'foo' field with value ($bar)" }
[$a, $b] => { print $"Value is a list with two items: ($a) and ($b)" }
_ => { print "Value is none of the above" }
}
```
Like the recent changes to `if` to allow it to be used as an expression,
`match` can also be used as an expression. This allows you to assign the
result to a variable, eg) `let xyz = match ...`
I've also included a short-hand pattern for matching records, as I think
it might help when doing a lot of record patterns: `{$foo}` which is
equivalent to `{foo: $foo}`.
There are still missing components, so consider this the first step in
full pattern matching support. Currently missing:
* Patterns for strings
* Or-patterns (like the `|` in Rust)
* Patterns for tables (unclear how we want to match a table, so it'll
need some design)
* Patterns for binary values
* And much more

Reverts nushell/nushell#8310
In anticipation that we may want to revert this PR. I'm starting the
process because of this issue.
This stopped working
```
let-env NU_LIB_DIRS = [
($nu.config-path | path dirname | path join 'scripts')
'C:\Users\username\source\repos\forks\nu_scripts'
($nu.config-path | path dirname)

```
You have to do this now instead.
```
const NU_LIB_DIRS = [
'C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\nushell\scripts'
'C:\Users\username\source\repos\forks\nu_scripts'
'C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\nushell'
]
```
In talking with @kubouch, he was saying that the `let-env` version
should keep working. Hopefully it's a small change.

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

```
`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
Allow NU_LIBS_DIR and friends to be const they can be updated within the
same parse pass. This will allow us to remove having multiple config
files eventually.
Small implementation detail: I've changed `call.parser_info` to a
hashmap with string keys, so the information can have names rather than
indices, and we don't have to worry too much about the order in which we
put things into it.
Closes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8422
# User-Facing Changes
In a single file, users can now do stuff like
```
const NU_LIBS_DIR = ['/some/path/here']
source script.nu
```
and the source statement will use the value of NU_LIBS_DIR declared the
line before.
Currently, if there is no `NU_LIBS_DIR` const, then we fallback to using
the value of the `NU_LIBS_DIR` env-var, so there are no breaking changes
(unless someone named a const NU_LIBS_DIR for some reason).

# Description
This adds a new cell path literal syntax for use in any value position,

This can be used to assign to a variable and then later use that
variable as a cell path.

```
> let cell_path = $.a.b
> {a: {b: 3}} | get $cell_path

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`

Please provide feedback if you have the time!
## 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
This starts working on refactoring the parser to no longer use
SyntaxShape when making parsing decisions about values. This PR covers
grouping a few of the steps in `parse_value` to key off the first
character for what group of parsing steps it should use.

# Description
The `ShellError` enum at the moment is kind of messy.
Many variants are basic tuple structs where you always have to reference
the implementation with its macro invocation to know which field serves
which purpose.
Furthermore we have both variants that are kind of redundant or either
overly broad to be useful for the user to match on or overly specific
with few uses.
So I set out to start fixing the lacking documentation and naming to
make it feasible to critically review the individual usages and fix
those.
Furthermore we can decide to join or split up variants that don't seem
to be fit for purpose.

use of `ShellError` variants.

# 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).

No effect: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8122 (we might

Should use custom command instead:
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/6048
# 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

# Description
issue #8167
Remove the `(link)` to the docs for `ShellError` and `ParseError`. As
per discussion on the issue, the nu-parser version didn't update on the
docs causing deadlinks for those errors, which brought the usefullness
of these links into question and it was decided to remove all of them
that `derive(diagnostic)`.

# Description
Previously `nix run nixpkgs#hello` was lexed as `Item, Item, Item,
Comment`, however, `#hello` is *not* supposed to be a comment here and
should be parsed as part of the third `Item`.
This change introduces this behavior by not interrupting the parse of
the current token upon seeing a `#`.
Thank you so much for considering this, I think many `nix` users will be
grateful for this change and I think this will lead to more adaptation
in the ecosystem.
- closes#8137 and #6335
# User-Facing Changes
- code like `somecode# bla` and `somecode#bla` will not be parsed as
`somecode, comment` but as `somecode#bla`, hence this is a breaking

token (`#`)

# Description
Added a few syntax errors in ints and strings, changed parser to stop
and show that error rather than continue trying to parse those tokens as
some other shape. However, I don't see how to push this direction much
further, and most of the classic confusing errors can't be changed.
Flagged as WIP for the moment, but passes all checks and works better
than current release:
1. I have yet to figure out how to make these errors refer back to the
book, as I see some other errors do.
2. How to give syntax error when malformed int is first token in line?
Currently parsed as external command, user gets confusing error message.
3. Would like to be more strict with *decimal* int literals (lacking,
e.g, `0x' prefix). Need to tinker more with the order of parse shape
calls, currently, float is tried after int, so '1.4' has to be passed.

```
But *decimal* literal (no prefix) can't be too strict. Parser is going
to try float later. So '1.4' must be passed.
# User-Facing Changes
First and foremost, more specific error messages for typos in string and
int literals. Probably improves interactive user experience.
But a script that was causing and then checking for specific error might
notice a different error message.
_(List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This helps
us keep track of breaking changes.)_
# Tests + Formatting
Added (positive and negative unit tests in `cargo test -p nu-parser`.
Didn't add integration tests.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- [x] `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting
(`cargo fmt --all` applies these changes)
- [x] `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- [x] `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass

This PR makes `++` (the append operator) work with strings and binary
values. Can now do things like:
```bash
〉"a" ++ "b"
ab
〉0x[01 02] ++ 0x[03]
Length: 3 (0x3) bytes | printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii
00000000: 01 02 03 •••

Closes#8015.
# Description
As title, we can't provide examples for plugin commands, this pr would
make it possible
# User-Facing Changes
Take plugin `nu-example-1` as example:
```
❯ nu-example-1 -h
PluginSignature test 1 for plugin. Returns Value::Nothing
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
(optional) opt <int>: Optional number
...rest <string>: rest value string
Examples:
running example with an int value and string value
> nu-example-1 3 bb
```
The examples session is newly added.
## Basic idea behind these changes
when nushell query plugin signatures, plugin just returns it's signature
without any examples, so nushell have no idea about the examples of
plugin commands.
To adding the feature, we just making plugin returns it's signature with
examples.
Before:
```
1. get signature
---------------->
Nushell ------------------ Plugin
<-----------------
2. returns Vec<Signature>
```
After:
```
1. get signature
---------------->
Nushell ------------------ Plugin
<-----------------
2. returns Vec<PluginSignature>
```
When writing plugin signature to $nu.plugin-path:
Serialize `<PluginSignature>` rather than `<Signature>`, which would
enable us to serialize examples to `$nu.plugin-path`
## Shortcoming
It's a breaking changes because `Plugin::signature` is changed, and it
requires plugin authors to change their code for new signatures.
Fortunally it should be easy to change, for rust based plugin, we just
need to make a global replace from word `Signature` to word
`PluginSignature` in their plugin project.
Our content of plugin-path is really large, if one plugin have many
examples, it'd results to larger body of $nu.plugin-path, which is not
really scale. A solution would be save register information in other
binary formats rather than `json`. But I think it'd be another story.
