# Description
This approach is a bit straightforward, call access() check with the
flag `X_OK`.
Zsh[^1], Fish perform this check by the same approach.

It could also avoid manual xattrs check on other *nix platforms.
BTW, the execution bit for directories in *nix world means permission to
access it's content,
while the read bit means to list it's content. [^0]

In this PR, the two new variants for `ErrorKind`, `FileNotFound`
and `DirectoryNotFound` with a nice `not_found_as` method for the
`ErrorKind` to easily specify the `NotFound` errors. I also updated some
places where I could of think of with these new variants and the message
for `NotFound` is no longer "Entity not found" but "Not found" to be
less strange.

This PR makes two changes related to [run-time pipeline input type
checking](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/14741):
1. The check which bypasses type checking for commands with only
`Type::Nothing` input types has been expanded to work with commands with
multiple `Type::Nothing` inputs for different outputs. For example,
`ast` has three input/output type pairs, but all of the inputs are
`Type::Nothing`:
```
╭───┬─────────┬────────╮
│ # │ input │ output │
├───┼─────────┼────────┤
│ 0 │ nothing │ table │
│ 1 │ nothing │ record │
│ 2 │ nothing │ string │
╰───┴─────────┴────────╯
```
Before this PR, passing a value (which would otherwise be ignored) to
`ast` caused a run-time type error:
```
Error: nu:🐚:only_supports_this_input_type
× Input type not supported.
╭─[entry #1:1:6]
1 │ echo 123 | ast -j -f "hi"
· ─┬─ ─┬─
· │ ╰── only nothing, nothing, and nothing input data is supported
· ╰── input type: int
╰────
```
After this PR, no error is raised.
This doesn't really matter for `ast` (the only other built-in command
with a similar input/output type signature is `cal`), but it's more
logically consistent.
2. Bypasses input type-checking (parse-time ***and*** run-time) for some
(not all, see below) commands which have both a `Type::Nothing` input
and some other non-nothing `Type` input. This is accomplished by adding
a `Type::Any` input with the same output as the corresponding
`Type::Nothing` input/output pair.
This is necessary because some commands are intended to operate on an
argument with empty pipeline input, or operate on an empty pipeline
input with no argument. This causes issues when a value is implicitly
passed to one of these commands. I [discovered this
issue](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/615962413203718156/1329945784346611712)
when working with an example where the `open` command is used in
`sort-by` closure:
```nushell
ls | sort-by { open -r $in.name | lines | length }
```
Before this PR (but after the run-time input type checking PR), this
error is raised:
```
Error: nu:🐚:only_supports_this_input_type
× Input type not supported.
╭─[entry #1:1:1]
1 │ ls | sort-by { open -r $in.name | lines | length }
· ─┬ ──┬─
· │ ╰── only nothing and string input data is supported
· ╰── input type: record<name: string, type: string, size: filesize, modified: date>
╰────
```
While this error is technically correct, we don't actually want to
return an error here since `open` ignores its pipeline input when an
argument is passed. This would be a parse-time error as well if the
parser was able to infer that the closure input type was a record, but
our type inference isn't that robust currently, so this technically
incorrect form snuck by type checking until #14741.
However, there are some commands with the same kind of type signature
where this behavior is actually desirable. This means we can't just
bypass type-checking for any command with a `Type::Nothing` input. These
commands operate on true `null` values, rather than ignoring their
input. For example, `length` returns `0` when passed a `null` value.
It's correct, and even desirable, to throw a run-time error when
`length` is passed an unexpected type. For example, a string, which
should instead be measured with `str length`:
```nushell
["hello" "world"] | sort-by { length }
# => Error: nu:🐚:only_supports_this_input_type
# =>
# => × Input type not supported.
# => ╭─[entry #32:1:10]
# => 1 │ ["hello" "world"] | sort-by { length }
# => · ───┬─── ───┬──
# => · │ ╰── only list<any>, binary, and nothing input data is supported
# => · ╰── input type: string
# => ╰────
```
We need a more robust way for commands to express how they handle the
`Type::Nothing` input case. I think a possible solution here is to allow
commands to express that they operate on `PipelineData::Empty`, rather
than `Value::Nothing`. Then, a command like `open` could have an empty
pipeline input type rather than a `Type::Nothing`, and the parse-time
and run-time pipeline input type checks know that `open` will safely
ignore an incorrectly typed input.
That being said, we have a release coming up and the above solution
might take a while to implement, so while unfortunate, bypassing input
type-checking for these problematic commands serves as a workaround to
avoid breaking changes in the release until a more robust solution is
implemented.
This PR bypasses input type-checking for the following commands:
* `load-env`: can take record of envvars as input or argument
* `nu-check`: checks input string or filename argument
* `open`: can take filename as input or argument
* `polars when`: can be used with input, or can be chained with another
`polars when`
* `stor insert`: data record can be passed as input or argument
* `stor update`: data record can be passed as input or argument
* `format date`: `--list` ignores input value
* `into datetime`: `--list` ignores input value (also added a
`Type::Nothing` input which was missing from this command)
These commands have a similar input/output signature to the above
commands, but are working as intended:
* `cd`: The input/output signature was actually incorrect, `cd` always
ignores its input. I fixed this in this PR.
* `generate`
* `get`
* `history import`
* `interleave`
* `into bool`
* `length`
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This

As a temporary workaround, pipeline input type-checking for the
following commands has been bypassed to avoid undesirable run-time input
type checking errors which were previously not caught at parse-time:
* `open`
* `load-env`
* `format date`
* `into datetime`
* `nu-check`
* `stor insert`
* `stor update`
* `polars when`

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 implements PWD-per-drive as described in discussion #14355
# Description
On Windows, CMD or PowerShell assigns each drive its own current
directory. For example, if you are in 'C:\Windows', switch to 'D:', and
navigate to 'D:\Game', you can return to 'C:\Windows' by simply typing
'C:'.
This PR enables Nushell on Windows to have the same capability, allowing
each drive to maintain its own PWD (Present Working Directory).
# User-Facing Changes
Currently, 'cd' or 'ls' only accept absolute paths if the path starts
with 'C:' or another drive letter. With PWD-per-drive, users can use
'cd' (or auto cd) and 'ls' in the same way as 'cd' and 'dir' in
PowerShell, or similarly to 'cd' and 'dir' in CMD (noting that cd in CMD
has slightly different behavior, 'cd' for another drive only changes
current directory of that drive, but does not switch there).
Interaction example on switching between drives:
```Nushell
~>D:
D:\>cd Test
D:\Test\>C:
~>D:
D:\Test\>C:
~>cd D:..
D:\>C:x/../y/../z/..
~>cd D:Test\Test
D:\Test\Test>C:
~>D:...
D:\>
```
Interaction example on auto-completion at cmd line:
```Nushell
~>cd D:\test[Enter]
D:\test>~[Enter]
~>D:[TAB]
~>D:\test[Enter]
D:\test>c:.c[TAB]
c:\users\nushell\.cargo\ c:\users\nushell\.config\
```
Interaction example on pass PWD-per-drive to child process: (Note CMD
will use it, but PowerShell will ignore it though it still prepares such
info for child process)
```Nushell
~>cd D:\Test
D:\Test>cd E:\Test
E:\Test\>~
~>CMD
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22631.4460]
(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\Nushell>d:
D:\Test>e:
E:\Test>
```
# Brief Change Description
1.Added 'crates/nu-path/src/pwd_per_drive.rs' to implement a 26-slot
array mapping drive letters to PWDs. Test cases are included in the same
file, along with a doctest for the usage of PWD-per-drive.
2. Modified 'crates/nu-path/src/lib.rs' to declare module of
pwd_per_drive and export struct for PWD-per-drive.
3. Modified 'crates/nu-protocol/src/engine/stack.rs' to sync PWD when
set_cwd() is called. Add PWD-per-drive map as member. Clone between
parent and child. Stub/proxy for nu_path::expand_path_with() to
facilitate filesystem commands using PWD-per-drive.
4. Modified 'crates/nu-cli/src/repl.rs' auto_cd uses PWD-per-drive to
expand path.
5. Modified 'crates/nu-cli/src/completions/completion_common.rs' to
expand relative path when press [TAB] at command line.
6. Modified 'crates/nu-engine/src/env.rs' to collect PWD-per-drive info
as env vars for child process as CMD or PowerShell do, this can let
child process inherit PWD-per-drive info.
7. Modified 'crates/nu-engine/src/eval.rs', caller clone callee's
PWD-per-drive info, supporting 'def --env'
8. Modified 'crates/nu-engine/src/eval_ir.rs', 'def --env' support.
Remove duplicated fn redirect_env()
9. Modified 'src/run.rs', to init PWD-per-drive when startup.
filesystem commands that modified:
1. Modified 'crates/nu-command/src/filesystem/cd.rs', 1 line change to
use stackscoped PWD-per-drive.
Other commands, commit pending....

# Description
Title says it all, changes `EngineState::get_env_var` to return a
`Option<&'a Value>` instead of an owned `Option<Value>`. This avoids
some unnecessary clones.
I also made a similar change to the `PluginExecutionContext` trait.
This PR sets the current working directory to the location of the
Nushell executable at startup, using `std::env::set_current_dir()`. This
is desirable because after PR
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/12922, we no longer change our
current working directory even after `cd` is executed, and some OS might
lock the directory where Nushell started.
The location of the Nushell executable is chosen because it cannot be
removed while Nushell is running anyways, so we don't have to worry
about OS locking it.
This PR has the side effect that it breaks buggy command even harder.
I'll keep this PR as a draft until these commands are fixed, but it
might be helpful to pull this PR if you're working on fixing one of
those bugs.

# 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.

This PR has two parts. The first part is the addition of the
`Stack::set_pwd()` API. It strips trailing slashes from paths for
convenience, but will reject otherwise bad paths, leaving PWD in a good
state. This should reduce the impact of faulty code incorrectly trying
to set PWD.
(https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/12760#issuecomment-2095393012)
The second part is implementing a PWD recovery mechanism. PWD can become
bad even when we did nothing wrong. For example, Unix allows you to
remove any directory when another process might still be using it, which
means PWD can just "disappear" under our nose. This PR makes it possible
to use `cd` to reset PWD into a good state. Here's a demonstration:
```sh
mkdir /tmp/foo
cd /tmp/foo
# delete "/tmp/foo" in a subshell, because Nushell is smart and refuse to delete PWD
nu -c 'cd /; rm -r /tmp/foo'
ls # Error: × $env.PWD points to a non-existent directory
# help: Use `cd` to reset $env.PWD into a good state
cd /
pwd # prints /
```
Also, auto-cd should be working again.
# Description
Fixes#12758.
#12662 introduced a bug where calling `cd` with a path with a trailing
slash would cause `PWD` to be set to a path including a trailing slash,
which is not allowed. This adds a helper to `nu_path` to remove this,
and uses it in the `cd` command to clean it up before setting `PWD`.
# Tests + Formatting
I added some tests to make sure we don't regress on this in the future.
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`
This is the first PR towards migrating to a new `$env.PWD` API that
returns potentially un-canonicalized paths. Refer to PR #12515 for
motivations.
## New API: `EngineState::cwd()`
The goal of the new API is to cover both parse-time and runtime use
case, and avoid unintentional misuse. It takes an `Option<Stack>` as
argument, which if supplied, will search for `$env.PWD` on the stack in
additional to the engine state. I think with this design, there's less
confusion over parse-time and runtime environments. If you have access
to a stack, just supply it; otherwise supply `None`.
## Deprecation of other PWD-related APIs
Other APIs are re-implemented using `EngineState::cwd()` and properly
documented. They're marked deprecated, but their behavior is unchanged.
Unused APIs are deleted, and code that accesses `$env.PWD` directly
without using an API is rewritten.
Deprecated APIs:
* `EngineState::current_work_dir()`
* `StateWorkingSet::get_cwd()`
* `env::current_dir()`
* `env::current_dir_str()`
* `env::current_dir_const()`
* `env::current_dir_str_const()`
Other changes:
* `EngineState::get_cwd()` (deleted)
* `StateWorkingSet::list_env()` (deleted)
* `repl::do_run_cmd()` (rewritten with `env::current_dir_str()`)
## `cd` and `pwd` now use logical paths by default
This pulls the changes from PR #12515. It's currently somewhat broken
because using non-canonicalized paths exposed a bug in our path
normalization logic (Issue #12602). Once that is fixed, this should
work.
## Future plans
This PR needs some tests. Which test helpers should I use, and where
should I put those tests?
I noticed that unquoted paths are expanded within `eval_filepath()` and
`eval_directory()` before they even reach the `cd` command. This means
every paths is expanded twice. Is this intended?
Once this PR lands, the plan is to review all usages of the deprecated
APIs and migrate them to `EngineState::cwd()`. In the meantime, these
usages are annotated with `#[allow(deprecated)]` to avoid breaking CI.

# Description
Where possible, this PR replaces usages of raw `libc` bindings to
instead use safe interfaces from the `nix` crate. Where not possible,
the `libc` version reexported through `nix` was used instead of having a
separate `libc` dependency.
# 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.

# Description
This PR renames the conversion functions on `Value` to be more consistent.
It follows the Rust [API guidelines](https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html#ad-hoc-conversions-follow-as_-to_-into_-conventions-c-conv) for ad-hoc conversions.
The conversion functions on `Value` now come in a few forms:
- `coerce_{type}` takes a `&Value` and attempts to convert the value to
`type` (e.g., `i64` are converted to `f64`). This is the old behavior of
some of the `as_{type}` functions -- these functions have simply been
renamed to better reflect what they do.
- The new `as_{type}` functions take a `&Value` and returns an `Ok`
result only if the value is of `type` (no conversion is attempted). The
returned value will be borrowed if `type` is non-`Copy`, otherwise an
owned value is returned.
- `into_{type}` exists for non-`Copy` types, but otherwise does not
attempt conversion just like `as_type`. It takes an owned `Value` and
always returns an owned result.
- `coerce_into_{type}` has the same relationship with `coerce_{type}` as
`into_{type}` does with `as_{type}`.
- `to_{kind}_string`: conversion to different string formats (debug,
abbreviated, etc.). Only two of the old string conversion functions were
removed, the rest have been renamed only.
- `to_{type}`: other conversion functions. Currently, only `to_path`
exists. (And `to_string` through `Display`.)
This table summaries the above:
| Form | Cost | Input Ownership | Output Ownership | Converts `Value`
case/`type` |
| ---------------------------- | ----- | --------------- |
---------------- | -------- |
| `as_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | No |
| `into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | No |
| `coerce_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | Yes |
| `coerce_into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{kind}_string` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{type}` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |

# Description
This removes the old style "cd with abbreviations" that would attempt to
guess what directory you wanted to `cd` to. This would sometimes have
false positives, so we left it off by default in the config.
In the current main, we have much-improved path completions
(https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/10543) so you can now do `cd
a/b<tab>` and get a much better experience (because you can see the
directory you're about to cd to). This removes the need for the previous
abbreviation system.
# User-Facing Changes
This does remove the old abbreviation system. It will likely mean that
old config files that have settings for abbreviations will now get
errors.

# Description
The `users` crate hasn't been updated for a long time, this PR tries to
replace `users` with `nix`.
See [advisory
page](https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2023-0040.html) for
additional details.
# Description
Fixes: #9498
Actually we don't need this pr if the upstream pr is merged:
https://github.com/ogham/rust-users/pull/45
But it doesn't have any commit since 2021, and the author seems not
active on github now, I think we have to copy the function into nushell
to get relative issue fixed...
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
2cc6a82da6f77c01f2a0d06847eabde168a2e56b, 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
# Tests + Formatting
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`

👍
# Description
[GH issue](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8027)
The current error message for a cd command includes a Debug output of
the `io::Error` being returned from `canonicalize_with`, so it's been
replaced with a more user friendly and readable depiction of the error.
# User-Facing Changes
As described in the issue, I've changed the error message for a cd into
a directory that does not exist from:

Some general cleanup of `cd.rs`; the permission checking code was a
little hard to follow. Reworded comments and variable names,
reorganized+renamed the module used for Unix file permissions.
Previously the group check was only for the current users gid, now we
check against all the users groups.
# Description
Currently when using the `cd` command to enter a directory there was
only a check against the current user id, and exact current group id,
meaning if a directory had a group permission and that group wasn't the
users group it was effectively ignored.
The fix simply implements a check through all the users current groups.

# Description
While perusing Value.rs, I noticed the `Value::int()`, `Value::float()`,
`Value::boolean()` and `Value::string()` constructors, which seem
designed to make it easier to construct various Values, but which aren't
used often at all in the codebase. So, using a few find-replaces
regexes, I increased their usage. This reduces overall LOC because
structures like this:
```
Value::Int {
val: a,
span: head
}
```
are changed into
```
Value::int(a, head)
```
and are respected as such by the project's formatter.
There are little readability concerns because the second argument to all
of these is `span`, and it's almost always extremely obvious which is
the span at every callsite.
