Finishes implementing https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/10598,
which asks for a spread operator in lists, in records, and when calling
commands.
# Description

This PR will allow spreading arguments to commands (both internal and
external). It will also deprecate spreading arguments automatically when
passing to external commands.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
- Users will be able to use `...` to spread arguments to custom/builtin
commands that have rest parameters or allow unknown arguments, or to any
external command
- If a custom command doesn't have a rest parameter and it doesn't allow
unknown arguments either, the spread operator will not be allowed
- Passing lists to external commands without `...` will work for now but
will cause a deprecation warning saying that it'll stop working in 0.91
(is 2 versions enough time?)
Here's a function to help with demonstrating some behavior:
```nushell
> def foo [ a, b, c?, d?, ...rest ] { [$a $b $c $d $rest] | to nuon }
```
You can pass a list of arguments to fill in the `rest` parameter using
`...`:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 4 ...[5 6]
[1, 2, 3, 4, [5, 6]]
```
If you don't use `...`, the list `[5 6]` will be treated as a single
argument:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 4 [5 6] # Note the double [[]]
[1, 2, 3, 4, [[5, 6]]]
```
You can omit optional parameters before the spread arguments:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 ...[4 5] # d is omitted here
[1, 2, 3, null, [4, 5]]
```
If you have multiple lists, you can spread them all:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 ...[4 5] 6 7 ...[8] ...[]
[1, 2, 3, null, [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]]
```
Here's the kind of error you get when you try to spread arguments to a
command with no rest parameter:

And this is the warning you get when you pass a list to an external now
(without `...`):

Added tests to cover the following cases:
- Spreading arguments to a command that doesn't have a rest parameter
(unexpected spread argument error)
- Spreading arguments to a command that doesn't have a rest parameter
*but* there's also a missing positional argument (missing positional
error)
- Spreading arguments to a command that doesn't have a rest parameter
but does allow unknown arguments, such as `exec` (allowed)
- Spreading a list literal containing arguments of the wrong type (parse
error)
- Spreading a non-list value, both to internal and external commands
- Having named arguments in the middle of rest arguments
- `explain`ing a command call that spreads its arguments

# Examples
Suppose you have multiple tables:
```nushell
let people = [[id name age]; [0 alice 100] [1 bob 200] [2 eve 300]]
let evil_twins = [[id name age]; [0 ecila 100] [-1 bob 200] [-2 eve 300]]
```
Maybe you often find yourself needing to merge multiple tables and want
a utility to do that. You could write a function like this:
```nushell
def merge_all [ ...tables ] { $tables | reduce { |it, acc| $acc | merge $it } }
```
Then you can use it like this:
```nushell
> merge_all ...([$people $evil_twins] | each { |$it| $it | select name age })
╭───┬───────┬─────╮
│ # │ name │ age │
├───┼───────┼─────┤
│ 0 │ ecila │ 100 │
│ 1 │ bob │ 200 │
│ 2 │ eve │ 300 │
╰───┴───────┴─────╯
```
Except they had duplicate columns, so now you first want to suffix every
column with a number to tell you which table the column came from. You
can make a command for that:
```nushell
def select_and_merge [ --cols: list<string>, ...tables ] {
let renamed_tables = $tables
| enumerate
| each { |it|
$it.item | select $cols | rename ...($cols | each { |col| $col + ($it.index | into string) })
};
merge_all ...$renamed_tables
}
```
And call it like this:
```nushell
> select_and_merge --cols [name age] $people $evil_twins
╭───┬───────┬──────┬───────┬──────╮
│ # │ name0 │ age0 │ name1 │ age1 │
├───┼───────┼──────┼───────┼──────┤
│ 0 │ alice │ 100 │ ecila │ 100 │
│ 1 │ bob │ 200 │ bob │ 200 │
│ 2 │ eve │ 300 │ eve │ 300 │
╰───┴───────┴──────┴───────┴──────╯
```
---
Suppose someone's made a command to search for APT packages:
```nushell
# The main command
def search-pkgs [
--install # Whether to install any packages it finds
log_level: int # Pretend it's a good idea to make this a required positional parameter
exclude?: list<string> # Packages to exclude
repositories?: list<string> # Which repositories to look in (searches in all if not given)
...pkgs # Package names to search for
] {
{ install: $install, log_level: $log_level, exclude: ($exclude | to nuon), repositories: ($repositories | to nuon), pkgs: ($pkgs | to nuon) }
}
```
It has a lot of parameters to configure it, so you might make your own
helper commands to wrap around it for specific cases. Here's one
example:
```nushell
# Only look for packages locally
def search-pkgs-local [
--install # Whether to install any packages it finds
log_level: int
exclude?: list<string> # Packages to exclude
...pkgs # Package names to search for
] {
# All required and optional positional parameters are given
search-pkgs --install=$install $log_level [] ["<local URI or something>"] ...$pkgs
}
```
And you can run it like this:
```nushell
> search-pkgs-local --install=false 5 ...["python2.7" "vim"]
╭──────────────┬──────────────────────────────╮
│ install │ false │
│ log_level │ 5 │
│ exclude │ [] │
│ repositories │ ["<local URI or something>"] │
│ pkgs │ ["python2.7", vim] │
╰──────────────┴──────────────────────────────╯
```
One thing I realized when writing this was that if we decide to not
allow passing optional arguments using the spread operator, then you can
(mis?)use the spread operator to skip optional parameters. Here, I
didn't want to give `exclude` explicitly, so I used a spread operator to
pass the packages to install. Without it, I would've needed to do
`search-pkgs-local --install=false 5 [] "python2.7" "vim"` (explicitly
pass `[]` (or `null`, in the general case) to `exclude`). There are
probably more idiomatic ways to do this, but I just thought it was
something interesting.
If you're a virologist of the [xkcd](https://xkcd.com/350/) kind,
another helper command you might make is this:
```nushell
# Install any packages it finds
def live-dangerously [ ...pkgs ] {
# One optional argument was given (exclude), while another was not (repositories)
search-pkgs 0 [] ...$pkgs --install # Flags can go after spread arguments
}
```
Running it:
```nushell
> live-dangerously "git" "*vi*" # *vi* because I don't feel like typing out vim and neovim
╭──────────────┬─────────────╮
│ install │ true │
│ log_level │ 0 │
│ exclude │ [] │
│ repositories │ null │
│ pkgs │ [git, *vi*] │
╰──────────────┴─────────────╯
```
Here's an example that uses the spread operator more than once within
the same command call:
```nushell
let extras = [ chrome firefox python java git ]
def search-pkgs-curated [ ...pkgs ] {
(search-pkgs
1
[emacs]
["example.com", "foo.com"]
vim # A must for everyone!
...($pkgs | filter { |p| not ($p | str contains "*") }) # Remove packages with globs
python # Good tool to have
...$extras
--install=false
python3) # I forget, did I already put Python in extras?
}
```
Running it:
```nushell
> search-pkgs-curated "git" "*vi*"
╭──────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ install │ false │
│ log_level │ 1 │
│ exclude │ [emacs] │
│ repositories │ [example.com, foo.com] │
│ pkgs │ [vim, git, python, chrome, firefox, python, java, git, "python3"] │
╰──────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

# Description
Fixes: #11295
Sorry for introducing such issue.
The issue is caused by we wrongly set `redirect_stdout` and
`redirect_stderr` during eval, take the following as example:
```nushell
ls | bat --paging always
```
When running `bat --paging always`, `redirect_stdout` should be `false`.
But before this pr, it's set to true due to `ls` command, and then the
`true` value will go to all remaining commands.

Sorry I don't think we have a way to test it. Because it needs to be

# Description
This PR changes the way we handled non-zero exit codes to be and early
exit between `foo; bar`. If `foo` in the example has a non-zero exit
code, `bar` wouldn't be run.
This also affects subexpressions.
# Description
Fixes: #11153
To make sure scripts stop from running on non-zero exit code, we need to
invoke `might_consume_external_result` on
`PipelineData::ExternalStream`, so it can tell nushell if this command
exists with non-zero exit code.
And this pr also adjusts some test cases.
# User-Facing Changes
```nushell
^false out> /dev/null; print "ok"

After this pr, it shouldn't print ok.

Goes towards implementing #10598, which asks for a spread operator in
lists, in records, and when calling commands (continuation of #11006,
which only implements it in lists)
# Description
This PR is for adding a spread operator that can be used when building
records. Additional functionality can be added later.
Changes:
- Previously, the `Expr::Record` variant held `(Expression, Expression)`
pairs. It now holds instances of an enum `RecordItem` (the name isn't
amazing) that allows either a key-value mapping or a spread operator.
- `...` will be treated as the spread operator when it appears before
`$`, `{`, or `(` inside records (no whitespace allowed in between) (not
implemented yet)
- The error message for duplicate columns now includes the column name
itself, because if two spread records are involved in such an error, you
can't tell which field was duplicated from the spans alone
`...` will still be treated as a normal string outside records, and even
in records, it is not treated as a spread operator when not followed
immediately by a `$`, `{`, or `(`.
# User-Facing Changes
Users will be able to use `...` when building records.
```
> let rec = { x: 1, ...{ a: 2 } }
> $rec
╭───┬───╮
│ x │ 1 │
│ a │ 2 │
╰───┴───╯
> { foo: bar, ...$rec, baz: blah }
╭─────┬──────╮
│ foo │ bar │
│ x │ 1 │
│ a │ 2 │
│ baz │ blah │
╰─────┴──────╯
```
If you want to update a field of a record, you'll have to use `merge`
instead:
```
> { ...$rec, x: 5 }
Error: nu:🐚:column_defined_twice
× Record field or table column used twice: x
╭─[entry #2:1:1]

# Tests + Formatting
# After Submitting
# Description
Close: #10278
This pr introduces `o>>`, `e>>`, `o+e>>` to allow redirection to append
to a file.
Examples:
```nushell
echo abc o>> a.txt
echo abc o>> a.txt
cat asdf e>> a.txt
cat asdf e>> a.txt
cat asdf o+e>> a.txt
```
~~TODO:~~
~~1. currently internal commands with `o+e>` redirect to a variable is
broken: `let x = "a.txt"; echo abc o+e> $x`, not sure when it was
introduced...~~
~~2. redirect stdout and stderr with append mode doesn't supported yet:
`cat asdf o>>a.txt e>>b.ext`~~
~~For these 2 items, I'd like to fix them in different prs.~~
Already done in this pr
# Description
Fixes: #10271
Given the following script:
```shell
# test.sh
echo aaaaa
echo bbbbb 1>&2
echo cc
```
This pr makes the following command possible:
```nushell
bash test.sh err> /dev/null | lines | each {|line| $line | str length}
```
## General idea behind the change:
When nushell redirect stderr message to external file
1. it take stdout of external stream, and pass this stream to next
command, so it won't block next pipeline command from running.
2. relative stderr stream are handled by `save` command
These two streams are handled separately, so we need to delegate a
thread to `save` command, or else we'll have a chance to hang nushell,
we have meet a similar before: #5625.
### One case to consider
What if we're failed to save to an external stream? (Like we don't have
a permission to save to a file)?
In this case nushell will just print a waning message, and don't stop
the following scripts from running.
# User-Facing Changes
## Before
```nushell
❯ bash test2.sh err> /dev/null | lines | each {|line| $line | str length}
aaaaa
cc
```
## After

❯ bash test2.sh err> /dev/null | lines | each {|line| $line | str length}
╭───┬───╮

```
BTY, after this pr, the following commands are impossible either, it's
important to make sure that the implementation doesn't introduce too
much costs:
```nushell
❯ echo a e> a.txt e> a.txt
Error: × Can't make stderr redirection twice
╭─[entry #1:1:1]

# Description
Changes the `captures` field in `Closure` from a `HashMap` to a `Vec`
and makes `Stack::captures_to_stack` take an owned `Vec` instead of a
borrowed `HashMap`.
This eliminates the conversion to a `Vec` inside `captures_to_stack` and
makes it possible to avoid clones altogether when using an owned
`Closure` (which is the case for most commands). Additionally, using a
`Vec` reduces the size of `Value` by 8 bytes (down to 72).
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking API change for `nu-protocol`.
# Description
Consequences of #10841
This does not yet make the assumption that columns are always
duplicated. Follow the existing logic here
- Use saner record API in `nu-engine/src/eval.rs`
- Use checked record construction in `nu-engine/src/scope.rs`
- Use `values` iterator in `nu-engine/src/scope.rs`
- Use `columns` iterator in `nu_engine::get_columns()`
- Start using record API in `value/mod.rs`
- Use `.insert` in `eval_const.rs` Record code
- Record API for `eval_const.rs` table code
# User-Facing Changes
None
# Tests + Formatting
None
# Description
Pretty much all operations/commands in Nushell assume that the column
names/keys in a record and thus also in a table (which consists of a
list of records) are unique.
Access through a string-like cell path should refer to a single column
or key/value pair and our output through `table` will only show the last
mention of a repeated column name.
```nu
[[a a]; [1 2]]
╭─#─┬─a─╮
│ 0 │ 2 │
╰───┴───╯
```
While the record parsing already either errors with the
`ShellError::ColumnDefinedTwice` or silently overwrites the first
occurence with the second occurence, the table literal syntax `[[header
columns]; [val1 val2]]` currently still allowed the creation of tables
(and internally records with more than one entry with the same name.
This is not only confusing, but also breaks some assumptions around how
we can efficiently perform operations or in the past lead to outright
bugs (e.g. #8431 fixed by #8446).
This PR proposes to make this an error.
After this change another hole which allowed the construction of records
with non-unique column names will be plugged.
## Parts
- Fix `SE::ColumnDefinedTwice` error code
- Remove previous tests permitting duplicate columns
- Deny duplicate column in table literal eval
- Deny duplicate column in const eval
- Deny duplicate column in `from nuon`
# User-Facing Changes
`[[a a]; [1 2]]` will now return an error:
```
Error: nu:🐚:column_defined_twice
× Record field or table column used twice
╭─[entry #2:1:1]
1 │ [[a a]; [1 2]]
· ┬ ┬
· │ ╰── field redefined here
· ╰── field first defined here
╰────
```
this may under rare circumstances block code from evaluating.
Furthermore this makes some NUON files invalid if they previously
contained tables with repeated column names.
# Tests + Formatting
Added tests for each of the different evaluation paths that materialize
tables.
# Description
Reuses the existing `Closure` type in `Value::Closure`. This will help
with the span refactoring for `Value`. Additionally, this allows us to
more easily box or unbox the `Closure` case should we chose to do so in
the future.
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking API change for `nu_protocol`.
# Description
Currently the following command is broken:
```nushell

It's because we don't redirect output of `echo` command. This pr is
trying to fix it.

code cleanup of *eval.rs*
I was reviewing the engine code and noticed this...
The *eval_element_with_input* method in eval.rs does not need to be
public at the moment
because no one is calling it...
@jntrnr is making this method not public going to block someone in the
future who might need it ?
Right now its not being used so I decided to tighten up the API a bit...

# Description
because we already have `null` as the value of the type `nothing` and as
a followup to the two other attempts of mine, i propose to remove the

this PR is the first step, deprecating `$nothing`.
a followup PR will remove it altogether and wait for 0.87 👍⚙️ **details**: a new `NOTHING_VARIABLE_ID = 3` has been added,
parsing `$nothing` will create it, finally a `Value::Nothing` will be
produced and a warning will be reported.
this PR already fixes the `toolkit.nu` module so that it does not throw
a bunch of warnings each time 👌

As part of the refactor to split spans off of Value, this moves to using
helper functions to create values, and using `.span()` instead of
matching span out of Value directly.
Hoping to get a few more helping hands to finish this, as there are a

# Description
This doesn't really do much that the user could see, but it helps get us
ready to do the steps of the refactor to split the span off of Value, so
that values can be spanless. This allows us to have top-level values
that can hold both a Value and a Span, without requiring that all values
have them.
We expect to see significant memory reduction by removing so many
unnecessary spans from values. For example, a table of 100,000 rows and
5 columns would have a savings of ~8megs in just spans that are almost
always duplicated.

# Description
This PR creates a new `Record` type to reduce duplicate code and
possibly bugs as well. (This is an edited version of #9648.)
- `Record` implements `FromIterator` and `IntoIterator` and so can be
iterated over or collected into. For example, this helps with
conversions to and from (hash)maps. (Also, no more
`cols.iter().zip(vals)`!)
- `Record` has a `push(col, val)` function to help insure that the
number of columns is equal to the number of values. I caught a few
potential bugs thanks to this (e.g. in the `ls` command).
- Finally, this PR also adds a `record!` macro that helps simplify
record creation. It is used like so:
```rust
record! {
"key1" => some_value,
"key2" => Value::string("text", span),
"key3" => Value::int(optional_int.unwrap_or(0), span),
"key4" => Value::bool(config.setting, span),
}
```
Since macros hinder formatting, etc., the right hand side values should
be relatively short and sweet like the examples above.
Where possible, prefer `record!` or `.collect()` on an iterator instead
of multiple `Record::push`s, since the first two automatically set the
record capacity and do less work overall.
# User-Facing Changes
Besides the changes in `nu-protocol` the only other breaking changes are
to `nu-table::{ExpandedTable::build_map, JustTable::kv_table}`.

https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9773 introduced constants to
modules and allowed to export them, but only within one level. This PR:
* allows recursive exporting of constants from all submodules
* fixes submodule imports in a list import pattern
* makes sure exported constants are actual constants
Should unblock https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9678
### Example:
```nushell
module spam {
export module eggs {
export module bacon {
export const viking = 'eats'
}
}
}
use spam
print $spam.eggs.bacon.viking # prints 'eats'
use spam [eggs]
print $eggs.bacon.viking # prints 'eats'
use spam eggs bacon viking
print $viking # prints 'eats'
```
### Limitation 1:
Considering the above `spam` module, attempting to get `eggs bacon` from
`spam` module doesn't work directly:
```nushell
use spam [ eggs bacon ] # attempts to load `eggs`, then `bacon`
use spam [ "eggs bacon" ] # obviously wrong name for a constant, but doesn't work also for commands
```
Workaround (for example):
```nushell
use spam eggs
use eggs [ bacon ]
print $bacon.viking # prints 'eats'
```
I'm thinking I'll just leave it in, as you can easily work around this.
It is also a limitation of the import pattern in general, not just
constants.
### Limitation 2:
`overlay use` successfully imports the constants, but `overlay hide`
does not hide them, even though it seems to hide normal variables
successfully. This needs more investigation.

# Description
This PR does three related changes:
* Keeps the originally declared name in help outputs.
* Updates the name of the commands called `main` in the user script to
the name of the script.
* Fixes the source of signature information in multiple places. This
allows scripts to have more complete help output.
Combined, the above allow the user to see the script name in the help
output of scripts, like so:

NOTE: You still declare and call the definition `main`, so from inside
the script `main` is still the correct name. But multiple folks agreed
that seeing `main` in the script help was confusing, so this PR changes
that.
# User-Facing Changes
One potential minor breaking change is that module renames will be shown
as their originally defined name rather than the renamed name. I believe
this to be a better default.

Relative: #8248
After this pr, user can define const variable inside a module.

And user can export const variables, the following screenshot shows how
it works (it follows
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8248#issuecomment-1637442612):

## About the change
1. To make module support const, we need to change `parse_module_block`
to support `const` keyword.
2. To suport export `const`, we need to make module tracking variables,
so we add `variables` attribute to `Module`
3. During eval, the const variable may not exists in `stack`, because we
don't eval `const` when we define a module, so we need to find variables
which are already registered in `engine_state`
## One more thing to note about the const value.
Consider the following code
```
module foo { const b = 3; export def bar [] { $b } }
use foo bar
const b = 4;
bar
```
The result will be 3 (which is defined in module) rather than 4. I think
it's expected behavior.
It's something like [dynamic
binding](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Dynamic-Binding-Tips.html)
vs [lexical
binding](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Lexical-Binding.html)
in lisp like language, and lexical binding should be right behavior
which generates more predicable result, and it doesn't introduce really
subtle bugs in nushell code.
What if user want dynamic-binding?(For example: the example code returns
`4`)
There is no way to do this, user should consider passing the value as
argument to custom command rather than const.
## TODO
- [X] adding tests for the feature.
- [X] support export const out of module to use.

# Description
`Span` is `Copy`, so we probably should not be passing references of
`Span` around. This PR replaces all instances of `&Span` with `Span`,
copying spans where necessary.
# User-Facing Changes
This alters some public functions to take `Span` instead of `&Span` as
input. Namely, `EngineState::get_span_contents`,
`nu_protocol::extract_value`, a bunch of the math commands, and
`Gstat::gstat`.
# Description
This PR ensures functions exist to extract and create each and every
`Value` case. It also renames `Value::boolean` to `Value::bool` to match
`Value::test_bool`, `Value::as_bool`, and `Value::Bool`. Similarly,
`Value::as_integer` was renamed to `Value::as_int` to be consistent with
`Value::int`, `Value::test_int`, and `Value::Int`. These two renames can
be undone if necessary.
# User-Facing Changes
No user facing changes, but two public functions were renamed which may
affect downstream dependents.
# Description
Fixes: #8517Fixes: #9246Fixes: #9709
Relative: #9723
## About the change
Before the pr, nushell only parse redirection target as a string(through
`parse_string` call).
In the pr, I'm trying to make the value more generic(using `parse_value`
with `SyntaxShape::Any`)
And during eval stage, we guard it to only eval `String`,
`StringInterpolation`, `FullCellPath`, `FilePath`, so other type of
redirection target like `1ms` won't be permitted.
# User-Facing Changes
After the pr: redirection support something like the following:
1. `let a = "x"; cat toolkit.nu o> $a`
2. `let a = "x"; cat toolkit.nu o> $"($a).txt"`
3. `cat toolkit.nu out> ("~/a.txt" | path expand)`
# 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"`.

This PR reverts https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9391
We try not to revert PRs like this, though after discussion with the
Nushell team, we decided to revert this one.
The main reason is that Nushell, as a codebase, isn't ready for these
kinds of optimisations. It's in the part of the development cycle where
our main focus should be on improving the algorithms inside of Nushell
itself. Once we have matured our algorithms, then we can look for
opportunities to switch out technologies we're using for alternate
forms.
Much of Nushell still has lots of opportunities for tuning the codebase,
paying down technical debt, and making the codebase generally cleaner
and more robust. This should be the focus. Performance improvements
should flow out of that work.
Said another, optimisation that isn't part of tuning the codebase is
premature at this stage. We need to focus on doing the hard work of
making the engine, parser, etc better.

# Description
Fixes: #8565
Here is another pr #7240 tried to address the issue, but it works in a
wrong way.
After this change `o+e>` won't redirect all stdout message then stderr
message and it works more like how bash does.
# User-Facing Changes
For the given python code:
```python
# test.py
import sys
print('aa'*300, flush=True)
print('bb'*999999, file=sys.stderr, flush=True)
print('cc'*300, flush=True)
```
Running `python test.py out+err> a.txt` shoudn't hang nushell, and
`a.txt` keeps output in the same order
## About the change
The core idea is that when doing lite-parsing, introduce a new variant
`LiteElement::SameTargetRedirection` if we meet `out+err>` redirection
token(which is generated by lex function),
During converting from lite block to block,
LiteElement::SameTargetRedirection will be converted to
PipelineElement::SameTargetRedirection.
Then in the block eval process, if we get
PipelineElement::SameTargetRedirection, we'll invoke `run-external` with
`--redirect-combine` flag, then pipe the result into save command
## What happened internally?
Take the following command as example:
`^ls o+e> log.txt`
lex parsing result(`Tokens`) are not changed, but `LiteBlock` and
`Block` is changed after this pr.
### LiteBlock before
```rust
LiteBlock {
block: [
LitePipeline { commands: [
Command(None, LiteCommand { comments: [], parts: [Span { start: 39041, end: 39044 }] }),
// actually the span of first Redirection is wrong too..
Redirection(Span { start: 39058, end: 39062 }, StdoutAndStderr, LiteCommand { comments: [], parts: [Span { start: 39050, end: 39057 }] }),
]
}]
}
```
### LiteBlock after
```rust
LiteBlock {
block: [
LitePipeline {
commands: [
SameTargetRedirection {
cmd: (None, LiteCommand { comments: [], parts: [Span { start: 147945, end: 147948}]}),
redirection: (Span { start: 147949, end: 147957 }, LiteCommand { comments: [], parts: [Span { start: 147958, end: 147965 }]})
}
]
}
]
}
```
### Block before
```rust
Pipeline {
elements: [
Expression(None, Expression {
expr: ExternalCall(Expression { expr: String("ls"), span: Span { start: 39042, end: 39044 }, ty: String, custom_completion: None }, [], false),
span: Span { start: 39041, end: 39044 },
ty: Any, custom_completion: None
}),
Redirection(Span { start: 39058, end: 39062 }, StdoutAndStderr, Expression { expr: String("out.txt"), span: Span { start: 39050, end: 39057 }, ty: String, custom_completion: None })] }
```

# Description
This moves the representation of variables on the stack to a Vec, which
more closely resembles a stack. For small numbers of variables live at
any one point, this tends to be more efficient than a HashMap. Having a
stack-like vector also allows us to remember a stack position,
temporarily push variables on, then quickly drop the stack back to the
original size when we're done. We'll need this capability to allow
matching inside of conditions.
On this mac, a simple run of:
`timeit { mut x = 1; while $x < 1000000 { $x += 1 } }`
Went from 1 sec 86 ms, down to 1 sec 2 ms. Clearly, we have a lot more
ground we can make up in looping speed 😅 but it's nice that for fixing
this to make matching easier, we also get a win in terms of lookup speed
for small numbers of 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

# 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`.

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.
# 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).

## 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
Our `ShellError` at the moment has a `std::mem::size_of<ShellError>` of
136 bytes (on AMD64). As a result `Value` directly storing the struct
also required 136 bytes (thanks to alignment requirements).
This change stores the `Value::Error` `ShellError` on the heap.
Pro:
- Value now needs just 80 bytes
- Should be 1 cacheline less (still at least 2 cachelines)
Con:
- More small heap allocations when dealing with `Value::Error`
- More heap fragmentation
- Potential for additional required memcopies
# Further code changes
Includes a small refactor of `try` due to a type mismatch in its large
match.
# User-Facing Changes
None for regular users.
Plugin authors may have to update their matches on `Value` if they use
`nu-protocol`
Needs benchmarking to see if there is a benefit in real world workloads.
**Update** small improvements in runtime for workloads with high volume
of values. Significant reduction in maximum resident set size, when many
values are held in memory.

# 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.

# Description
Adds a `profile` command that profiles each pipeline element of a block
and can also recursively step into child blocks.
# Limitations
* It is implemented using pipeline metadata which currently get lost in
some circumstances (e.g.,
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/4501). This means that the
profiler will lose data coming from subexpressions. This issue will
hopefully be solved in the future.
* It also does not step into individual loop iteration which I'm not
sure why but maybe that's a good thing.

# Description
Fixes: #7828
We delegate to `save` command to finish redirection, then if it runs to
success, the relative exit code is set to 0. To fix it, in redirection
context, we take exit_code stream before sending it to `save` command,
than manually returns `PipelineData::ExternalStream` to make nushell set
relative code properly.

# Description

(Ran `cargo +stable clippy --fix --workspace -- -A clippy::all -D

This is an attempt to implement a new `Value::LazyRecord` variant for
performance reasons.
`LazyRecord` is like a regular `Record`, but it's possible to access
individual columns without evaluating other columns. I've implemented
`LazyRecord` for the special `$nu` variable; accessing `$nu` is
relatively slow because of all the information in `scope`, and [`$nu`
accounts for about 2/3 of Nu's startup time on
Linux](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/6677#issuecomment-1364618122).
### Benchmarks
I ran some benchmarks on my desktop (Linux, 12900K) and the results are
very pleasing.
Nu's time to start up and run a command (`cargo build --release;
hyperfine 'target/release/nu -c "echo \"Hello, world!\""' --shell=none
--warmup 10`) goes from **8.8ms to 3.2ms, about 2.8x faster**.
Tests are also much faster! Running `cargo nextest` (with our very slow
`proptest` tests disabled) goes from **7.2s to 4.4s (1.6x faster)**,
because most tests involve launching a new instance of Nu.
### Design (updated)
I've added a new `LazyRecord` trait and added a `Value` variant wrapping
those trait objects, much like `CustomValue`. `LazyRecord`
implementations must implement these 2 functions:
```rust
// All column names
fn column_names(&self) -> Vec<&'static str>;
// Get 1 specific column value
fn get_column_value(&self, column: &str) -> Result<Value, ShellError>;
```
### Serializability
`Value` variants must implement `Serializable` and `Deserializable`, which poses some problems because I want to use unserializable things like `EngineState` in `LazyRecord`s. To work around this, I basically lie to the type system:
1. Add `#[typetag::serde(tag = "type")]` to `LazyRecord` to make it serializable
2. Any unserializable fields in `LazyRecord` implementations get marked with `#[serde(skip)]`
3. At the point where a `LazyRecord` normally would get serialized and sent to a plugin, I instead collect it into a regular `Value::Record` (which can be serialized)
Add recursion limit to `def` and `block`.
Summary of this PR , it will detect if `def` call itself or not .
Then execute by using `stack` which I think best choice to use with this
design and core as it is available in all crates and mutable and
calculate the recursion limit on calling `def`.
Set 50 as recursion limit on `Config`.
Add some tests too .

Closes#7572 by adding a cache for compiled regexes of type
`Arc<Mutex<LruCache<String, Regex>>>` to `EngineState` .
The cache is limited to 100 entries (limit chosen arbitrarily) and
evicts least-recently-used items first.
This PR makes a noticeable difference when using regexes for
`color_config`, e.g.:
```bash
#first set string formatting in config.nu like:
string: { if $in =~ '^#\w{6}$' { $in } else { 'white' } }`
# then try displaying and exploring a table with many strings
# this is instant after the PR, but takes hundreds of milliseconds before
['#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#4101ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff']

## New dependency (`lru`)
This uses [the popular `lru` crate](https://lib.rs/crates/lru). The new
dependency adds 19.8KB to a Linux release build of Nushell. I think this
is OK, especially since the crate can be useful elsewhere in Nu.
I've been working on streaming and pipeline interruption lately. It was
bothering me that checking ctrl+c (something we want to do often) always
requires a bunch of boilerplate like:
```rust
use std::sync::atomic::Ordering;
if let Some(ctrlc) = &engine_state.ctrlc {
if ctrlc.load(Ordering::SeqCst) {
...
```
I added a helper method to cut that down to:
```rust
if nu_utils::ctrl_c::was_pressed(&engine_state.ctrlc) {
...
```

Reverts nushell/nushell#7448
Some surprising behavior in how we do this. For example:
```
〉if (true || false) { print "yes!" } else { print "no!" }
no!
〉if (true or false) { print "yes!" } else { print "no!" }
yes!
```
This means for folks who are using the old `||`, they possibly get the
wrong answer once they upgrade. I don't think we can ship with that as
it will catch too many people by surprise and just make it easier to
write buggy code.
# Description
We got some feedback from folks used to other shells that `try/catch`
isn't quite as convenient as things like `||`. This PR adds `&&` as a
synonym for `;` and `||` as equivalent to what `try/catch` would do.

# 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.

# 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.

If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.
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

We already have the binary `bit-xor` and the shortcircuiting logical
`or`(`||`) and `and`(`&&`).
This introduces `xor` as a compact form for both brevity and clarity.
You can express the operation through `not`/`and`/`or` with a slight
risk of introducing bugs through typos.
Operator precedence
`and` > `xor` > `or`
Added logic and precedence tests.
# 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
}
```

# Description
This is a set of fixes to `err>` to make it work a bit more predictably.
I've also revised the tests, which accidentally tested the wrong thing
for redirection, but should be more correct now.

# 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.

This adds new pipeline connectors called out> and err> which redirect either stdout or stderr to a file. You can also use out+err> (or err+out>) to redirect both streams into a file.
* 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.
