# Description
Pre-cratification of `nu-command` we added tests that covered the whole
command set to ensure consistent documentation style choices and that
the search terms which are added are not uselessly redundant. These
tests are now moved into the suite of the main binary to truly cover all
commands.
- **Move parser quickcheck "fuzz" to `nu-cmd-lang`**
- **Factor out creation of full engine state for tests**
- **Move all-command tests to main context creation**
- **Fix all descriptions**
- **Fix search term duplicate**
# User-Facing Changes
As a result I had to fix a few command argument descriptions. (Doesn't
mean I fully stand behind this choice, but) positionals
(rest/required/optional) and top level descriptions should start with a
capital letter and end with a period. This is not enforced for flags.
# Tests + Formatting
Furthermore I moved our poor-peoples-fuzzer that runs in CI with
`quicktest` over the parser to `nu-cmd-lang` reducing its command set to
just the keywords (similar to
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/15036). Thus this should also
run slightly faster (maybe a slight parallel build cost due to earlier
dependency on quicktest)

As mentioned in #10698, we have too many `ShellError` variants, with
some even overlapping in meaning. This PR simplifies and improves I/O
error handling by restructuring `ShellError` related to I/O issues.
Previously, `ShellError::IOError` only contained a message string,
making it convenient but overly generic. It was widely used without
providing spans (#4323).
This PR introduces a new `ShellError::Io` variant that consolidates
multiple I/O-related errors (except for `ShellError::NetworkFailure`,
which remains distinct for now). The new `ShellError::Io` variant
replaces the following:
- `FileNotFound`
- `FileNotFoundCustom`
- `IOInterrupted`
- `IOError`
- `IOErrorSpanned`
- `NotADirectory`
- `DirectoryNotFound`
- `MoveNotPossible`
- `CreateNotPossible`
- `ChangeAccessTimeNotPossible`
- `ChangeModifiedTimeNotPossible`
- `RemoveNotPossible`
- `ReadingFile`
## The `IoError`
`IoError` includes the following fields:
1. **`kind`**: Extends `std::io::ErrorKind` to specify the type of I/O
error without needing new `ShellError` variants. This aligns with the
approach used in `std::io::Error`. This adds a second dimension to error
reporting by combining the `kind` field with `ShellError` variants,
making it easier to describe errors in more detail. As proposed by
@kubouch in [#design-discussion on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/615329862395101194/1323699197165178930),
this helps reduce the number of `ShellError` variants. In the error
report, the `kind` field is displayed as the "source" of the error,
e.g., "I/O error," followed by the specific kind of I/O error.
2. **`span`**: A non-optional field to encourage providing spans for
better error reporting (#4323).
3. **`path`**: Optional `PathBuf` to give context about the file or
directory involved in the error (#7695). If provided, it’s shown as a
help entry in error reports.
4. **`additional_context`**: Allows adding custom messages when the
span, kind, and path are insufficient. This is rendered in the error
report at the labeled span.
5. **`location`**: Sometimes, I/O errors occur in the engine itself and
are not caused directly by user input. In such cases, if we don’t have a
span and must set it to `Span::unknown()`, we need another way to
reference the error. For this, the `location` field uses the new
`Location` struct, which records the Rust file and line number where the
error occurred. This ensures that we at least know the Rust code
location that failed, helping with debugging. To make this work, a new
`location!` macro was added, which retrieves `file!`, `line!`, and
`column!` values accurately. If `Location::new` is used directly, it
issues a warning to remind developers to use the macro instead, ensuring
consistent and correct usage.
### Constructor Behavior
`IoError` provides five constructor methods:
- `new` and `new_with_additional_context`: Used for errors caused by
user input and require a valid (non-unknown) span to ensure precise
error reporting.
- `new_internal` and `new_internal_with_path`: Used for internal errors
where a span is not available. These methods require additional context
and the `Location` struct to pinpoint the source of the error in the
engine code.
- `factory`: Returns a closure that maps an `std::io::Error` to an
`IoError`. This is useful for handling multiple I/O errors that share
the same span and path, streamlining error handling in such cases.
## New Report Look
This is simulation how the I/O errors look like (the `open crates` is
simulated to show how internal errors are referenced now):
## `Span::test_data()`
To enable better testing, `Span::test_data()` now returns a value
distinct from `Span::unknown()`. Both `Span::test_data()` and
`Span::unknown()` refer to invalid source code, but having a separate
value for test data helps identify issues during testing while keeping
spans unique.
## Cursed Sneaky Error Transfers
I removed the conversions between `std::io::Error` and `ShellError` as
they often removed important information and were used too broadly to
handle I/O errors. This also removed the problematic implementation
found here:
7ea4895513/crates/nu-protocol/src/errors/shell_error.rs (L1534-L1583)
which hid some downcasting from I/O errors and made it hard to trace
where `ShellError` was converted into `std::io::Error`. To address this,
I introduced a new struct called `ShellErrorBridge`, which explicitly
defines this transfer behavior. With `ShellErrorBridge`, we can now
easily grep the codebase to locate and manage such conversions.
## Miscellaneous
- Removed the OS error added in #14640, as it’s no longer needed.
- Improved error messages in `glob_from` (#14679).
- Trying to open a directory with `open` caused a permissions denied
error (it's just what the OS provides). I added a `is_dir` check to
provide a better error in that case.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
- Error outputs now include more detailed information and are formatted
differently, including updated error codes.
- The structure of `ShellError` has changed, requiring plugin authors
and embedders to update their implementations.

This PR adds type checking of all command input types at run-time.
Generally, these errors should be caught by the parser, but sometimes we
can't know the type of a value at parse-time. The simplest example is
using the `echo` command, which has an output type of `any`, so
prefixing a literal with `echo` will bypass parse-time type checking.
Before this PR, each command has to individually check its input types.
This can result in scenarios where the input/output types don't match
the actual command behavior. This can cause valid usage with an
non-`any` type to become a parse-time error if a command is missing that
type in its pipeline input/output (`drop nth` and `history import` do
this before this PR). Alternatively, a command may not list a type in
its input/output types, but doesn't actually reject that type in its
code, which can have unintended side effects (`get` does this on an
empty pipeline input, and `sort` used to before #13154).
After this PR, the type of the pipeline input is checked to ensure it
matches one of the input types listed in the proceeding command's
input/output types. While each of the issues in the "before this PR"
section could be addressed with each command individually, this PR
solves this issue for _all_ commands.
**This will likely cause some breakage**, as some commands have
incorrect input/output types, and should be adjusted. Also, some scripts
may have erroneous usage of commands. In writing this PR, I discovered
that `toolkit.nu` was passing `null` values to `str join`, which doesn't
accept nothing types (if folks think it should, we can adjust it in this
PR or in a different PR). I found some issues in the standard library
and its tests. I also found that carapace's vendor script had an
incorrect chaining of `get -i`:
```nushell
let expanded_alias = (scope aliases | where name == $spans.0 | get -i 0 | get -i expansion)
```
Before this PR, if the `get -i 0` ever actually did evaluate to `null`,
the second `get` invocation would error since `get` doesn't operate on
`null` values. After this PR, this is immediately a run-time error,
alerting the user to the problematic code. As a side note, we'll need to
PR this fix (`get -i 0 | get -i expansion` -> `get -i 0.expansion`) to
carapace.
A notable exception to the type checking is commands with input type of
`nothing -> <type>`. In this case, any input type is allowed. This
allows piping values into the command without an error being thrown. For
example, `123 | echo $in` would be an error without this exception.
Additionally, custom types bypass type checking (I believe this also
happens during parsing, but not certain)
I added a `is_subtype` method to `Value` and `PipelineData`. It
functions slightly differently than `get_type().is_subtype()`, as noted
in the doccomments. Notably, it respects structural typing of lists and
tables. For example, the type of a value `[{a: 123} {a: 456, b: 789}]`
is a subtype of `table<a: int>`, whereas the type returned by
`Value::get_type` is a `list<any>`. Similarly, `PipelineData` has some
special handling for `ListStream`s and `ByteStream`s. The latter was
needed for this PR to work properly with external commands.
Here's some examples.
Before:
```nu
1..2 | drop nth 1
Error: nu::parser::input_type_mismatch
× Command does not support range input.
╭─[entry #9:1:8]
1 │ 1..2 | drop nth 1
· ────┬───
· ╰── command doesn't support range input
╰────
echo 1..2 | drop nth 1
# => ╭───┬───╮
# => │ 0 │ 1 │
# => ╰───┴───╯
```
After this PR, I've adjusted `drop nth`'s input/output types to accept
range input.
Before this PR, zip accepted any value despite not being listed in its
input/output types. This caused different behavior depending on if you
triggered a parse error or not:
```nushell
1 | zip [2]
# => Error: nu::parser::input_type_mismatch
# =>
# => × Command does not support int input.
# => ╭─[entry #3:1:5]
# => 1 │ 1 | zip [2]
# => · ─┬─
# => · ╰── command doesn't support int input
# => ╰────
echo 1 | zip [2]
# => ╭───┬───────────╮
# => │ 0 │ ╭───┬───╮ │
# => │ │ │ 0 │ 1 │ │
# => │ │ │ 1 │ 2 │ │
# => │ │ ╰───┴───╯ │
# => ╰───┴───────────╯
```
After this PR, it works the same in both cases. For cases like this, if
we do decide we want `zip` or other commands to accept any input value,
then we should explicitly add that to the input types.
```nushell
1 | zip [2]
# => Error: nu::parser::input_type_mismatch
# =>
# => × Command does not support int input.
# => ╭─[entry #3:1:5]
# => 1 │ 1 | zip [2]
# => · ─┬─
# => · ╰── command doesn't support int input
# => ╰────
echo 1 | zip [2]
# => Error: nu:🐚:only_supports_this_input_type
# =>
# => × Input type not supported.
# => ╭─[entry #14:2:6]
# => 2 │ echo 1 | zip [2]
# => · ┬ ─┬─
# => · │ ╰── only list<any> and range input data is supported
# => · ╰── input type: int
# => ╰────
```
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
**Breaking change**: The type of a command's input is now checked
against the input/output types of that command at run-time. While these
errors should mostly be caught at parse-time, in cases where they can't
be detected at parse-time they will be caught at run-time instead. This
applies to both internal commands and custom commands.
Example function and corresponding parse-time error (same before and
after PR):
```nushell
def foo []: int -> nothing {
print $"my cool int is ($in)"
}
1 | foo
# => my cool int is 1
"evil string" | foo
# => Error: nu::parser::input_type_mismatch
# =>
# => × Command does not support string input.
# => ╭─[entry #16:1:17]
# => 1 │ "evil string" | foo
# => · ─┬─
# => · ╰── command doesn't support string input
# => ╰────
# =>
```
Before:
```nu
echo "evil string" | foo
# => my cool int is evil string
```
After:
```nu
echo "evil string" | foo
# => Error: nu:🐚:only_supports_this_input_type
# =>
# => × Input type not supported.
# => ╭─[entry #17:1:6]
# => 1 │ echo "evil string" | foo
# => · ──────┬────── ─┬─
# => · │ ╰── only int input data is supported
# => · ╰── input type: string
# => ╰────
```
Known affected internal commands which erroneously accepted any type:
* `str join`
* `zip`
* `reduce`

break
# Description
Turns out there are duplicate conversion functions: `as_i64` and
`as_f64`. In most cases, these can be replaced with `as_int` and
`as_float`, respectively.
With #14083 a dependency on `test-case` was introduced, we already
depend on the more exp(a/e)nsive `rstest` for our macro-based test case
generation (with fixtures on top)
To save on some compilation for proc macros unify to `rstest`
# Description
This is mainly https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/13450 (which got
reverted). Additionally:
- always clear IDs on import, disallow specifying IDs when piping
- added extra tests
- create backup of the history
# User-Facing Changes
New command: `history import`
# Tests + Formatting
Added mostly integration tests and a few smaller unit tests.
# Description
Adds a simple command for importing history between different file
formats. It essentially opens the history of the format opposite of the
one currently selected, and writes new items to the current history. It
also supports piping, because why not.
As more history backends are added, this may need to be extended -
either make the source explicit, or autodetect based on existing files.
For now it should be good though.
This should replace some of the work-arounds mentioned in
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/9403.
I suspect it will have at least one problem:
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/9403 mentions the history file
might be locked on Windows. That being said, I was able to successfully
import plaintext history into sqlite on Linux, so the command should be
functional at least in that environment.
The locking issue could be solved later by plumbing reedline history to
the command (so that it doesn't have to reopen it). But first, I want to
get some general input on the approach.
# User-Facing Changes
New command: `history import`
# Tests + Formatting
There's a unit test, but didn't add a proper integration test yet. Not
entirely sure how - I see there's the `nu!` macro for that, but not sure
how feasible it's to inspect history generated by commands ran that way.
Could use a hint.2
# Description
Currently there is a bit of chaos regarding construction of history file
paths. Various pieces of code across a number of crates reimplement the
same/similar logic:
- There is `get_history_path`, but it requires a directory parameter (it
really just joins it with a file name).
- Some places use a const for the directory parameter, others use a
string literal - in all cases the value seems to be `"nushell"`.
- Some places assume the `"nushell"` value, other plumb it down from
close to the top of the call stack.
- Some places use a constant for history file names while others assume
it.
This PR tries to make it so that the history/config path format is
defined in a single places and so dependencies on it are easier to
follow:
- It removes `get_history_path` and adds a `file_path` method to
`HistoryConfig` instead (an extra motivation being, this is a convenient
place that can be used from all creates that need a history file path)
- Adds a `nu_config_dir` function that returns the nushell configuration
directory.
- Updates existing code to rely on the above, effectively removing
duplicate uses of `"nushell"` and `NUSHELL_FOLDER` and assumptions about
file names associated with different history formats

# Description
The meaning of the word usage is specific to describing how a command
function is *used* and not a synonym for general description. Usage can
be used to describe the SYNOPSIS or EXAMPLES sections of a man page
where the permitted argument combinations are shown or example *uses*
are given.
Let's not confuse people and call it what it is a description.
Our `help` command already creates its own *Usage* section based on the
available arguments and doesn't refer to the description with usage.
# User-Facing Changes
`help commands` and `scope commands` will now use `description` or
`extra_description`
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`

- **Forgotten stuff in `nu-pretty-hex`**

I think the suggestions here are a net positive, some of the suggestions
moved into #13498 feel somewhat arbitrary, I also raised
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/13188 as the nightly
`byte_char_slices` would require either a global allow or otherwise a
ton of granular allows or possibly confusing bytestring literals.
# Description
This PR introduces a new `Signals` struct to replace our adhoc passing
around of `ctrlc: Option<Arc<AtomicBool>>`. Doing so has a few benefits:
- We can better enforce when/where resetting or triggering an interrupt
is allowed.
- Consolidates `nu_utils::ctrl_c::was_pressed` and other ad-hoc
re-implementations into a single place: `Signals::check`.
- This allows us to add other types of signals later if we want. E.g.,
exiting or suspension.
- Similarly, we can more easily change the underlying implementation if
we need to in the future.
- Places that used to have a `ctrlc` of `None` now use
`Signals::empty()`, so we can double check these usages for correctness
in the future.
# Description
Does some misc changes to `ListStream`:
- Moves it into its own module/file separate from `RawStream`.
- `ListStream`s now have an associated `Span`.
- This required changes to `ListStreamInfo` in `nu-plugin`. Note sure if
this is a breaking change for the plugin protocol.
- Hides the internals of `ListStream` but also adds a few more methods.
- This includes two functions to more easily alter a stream (these take
a `ListStream` and return a `ListStream` instead of having to go through
the whole `into_pipeline_data(..)` route).
- `map`: takes a `FnMut(Value) -> Value`
- `modify`: takes a function to modify the inner stream.
# Description
When implementing a `Command`, one must also import all the types
present in the function signatures for `Command`. This makes it so that
we often import the same set of types in each command implementation
file. E.g., something like this:
```rust
use nu_protocol::ast::Call;
use nu_protocol::engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack};
use nu_protocol::{
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, PipelineData,
ShellError, Signature, Span, Type, Value,
};
```
This PR adds the `nu_engine::command_prelude` module which contains the
necessary and commonly used types to implement a `Command`:
```rust
// command_prelude.rs
pub use crate::CallExt;
pub use nu_protocol::{
ast::{Call, CellPath},
engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack},
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, IntoSpanned,
PipelineData, Record, ShellError, Signature, Span, Spanned, SyntaxShape, Type, Value,
};
```
This should reduce the boilerplate needed to implement a command and
also gives us a place to track the breadth of the `Command` API. I tried
to be conservative with what went into the prelude modules, since it
might be hard/annoying to remove items from the prelude in the future.
Let me know if something should be included or excluded.

Previously, the errors in `create_nu_constant()` would say which config
file Nushell was trying to get when it couldn't find the config
directory. Now it doesn't. However, I think that's fine, given that it
doesn't matter whether it couldn't find the config directory while
looking for `login.nu` or `env.nu`, it only matters that it couldn't
find it.
This is what the error looks like:

# Description
Adds a CLI flag for nushell that disables reading and writing to the

Breaking API change for `nu-protocol` (changed `Config`).
# Description
1. Make table to be a subtype of `list<any>`, so some input_output_types
of filter commands are unnecessary
2. Change some commands which accept an input type, but generates
different output types. In this case, delete duplicate entry, and change
relative output type to `<any>`
Yeah it makes some commands more permissive, but I think it's better to
run into strange issue that why my script runs to failed during parse
time.

# Description
Since there are plans to add more history commands, it seems sensible to
put them into their own module and category

# User-Facing Changes
The history commands are in the category "History" rather than "Misc"
