This allows parsing of data (e.g. key-value pairs) where the last column
may contain the delimiter.

# Description
This PR makes it so that non-zero exit codes and termination by signal
are treated as a normal `ShellError`. Currently, these are silent
errors. That is, if an external command fails, then it's code block is
aborted, but the parent block can sometimes continue execution. E.g.,
see #8569 and this example:
```nushell
[1 2] | each { ^false }
```
Before this would give:
```
╭───┬──╮
│ 0 │ │
│ 1 │ │
╰───┴──╯
```
Now, this shows an error:
```
Error: nu:🐚:eval_block_with_input
× Eval block failed with pipeline input
╭─[entry #1:1:2]
1 │ [1 2] | each { ^false }
· ┬

Error: nu:🐚:non_zero_exit_code
× External command had a non-zero exit code
╭─[entry #1:1:17]
1 │ [1 2] | each { ^false }
· ──┬──
· ╰── exited with code 1
╰────
```
This PR fixes#12874, fixes#5960, fixes#10856, and fixes#5347. This
PR also partially addresses #10633 and #10624 (only the last command of
a pipeline is currently checked). It looks like #8569 is already fixed,
but this PR will make sure it is definitely fixed (fixes#8569).
# User-Facing Changes
- Non-zero exit codes and termination by signal now cause an error to be
thrown.
- The error record value passed to a `catch` block may now have an
`exit_code` column containing the integer exit code if the error was due
to an external command.
- Adds new config values, `display_errors.exit_code` and
`display_errors.termination_signal`, which determine whether an error
message should be printed in the respective error cases. For
non-interactive sessions, these are set to `true`, and for interactive
sessions `display_errors.exit_code` is false (via the default config).
# Tests
Added a few tests.
# After Submitting
- Update docs and book.
- Future work:
- Error if other external commands besides the last in a pipeline exit
with a non-zero exit code. Then, deprecate `do -c` since this will be
the default behavior everywhere.
- Add a better mechanism for exit codes and deprecate
`$env.LAST_EXIT_CODE` (it's buggy).
# Description
This pr addresses the comment:
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/11791#issuecomment-2308384155
It's caused by if the last row have a very different format to the first
row, the value of `end_char` will exceed the `line_char_boundaries`.
Adding a guard for it should avoid such panic.
# User-Facing Changes
The following code should no longer panic:
```shell
"nu_plugin_highlight = '1.2.2+0.97.1' # A nushell plugin for syntax highlighting
trace_nu_plugin = '0.3.1' # A wrapper to trace Nu plugins
nu_plugin_bash_env = '0.13.0' # Nu plugin bash-env
nu_plugin_from_sse = '0.4.0' # Nushell plugin to convert a HTTP server sent event stream to structured data
... and 90 crates more (use --limit N to see more)" | detect columns -n --guess
```
# Tests + Formatting
Added 1 test.
# Description
Closes#13677
Remove the command `str deunicode`, as it has a narrow application, is
loosely defined by the data provided by the `deunicode` crate and thus a
stabilization liability post-1.0.
Furthermore the data to perform the look-up is quite substantial.
Removing the command and the `deunicode` dependency saves 0.9 MB of
binary data in release mode (~ 2% of total)
(checked via `cargo bloat --release` for a linux x86 build)
# User-Facing Changes
The `str deunicode` command recently added in #13270 is gone
Mistakes have been made. I forgot about a bunch of `todo`s in the helper
functions. So, this PR replaces them with proper errors. It also adds
tests for parse-time evaluation, because one `todo` I missed was in a
`run_const` function.
Based on the discussion in #13419.
## Description
Reworks the `decode`/`encode` commands by adding/changing the following
bases:
- `base32`
- `base32hex`
- `hex`
- `new-base64`
The `hex` base is compatible with the previous version of `hex` out of
the box (it only adds more flags). `base64` isn't, so the PR adds a new
version and deprecates the old one.
All commands have `string -> binary` signature for decoding and `string
| binary -> string` signature for encoding. A few `base64` encodings,
which are not a part of the
[RFC4648](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4648#section-6), have
been dropped.
## Example usage
```Nushell
~/fork/nushell> "string" | encode base32 | decode base32 | decode
string
```
```Nushell
~/fork/nushell> "ORSXG5A=" | decode base32
# `decode` always returns a binary value
Length: 4 (0x4) bytes | printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii
00000000: 74 65 73 74 test
```
## User-Facing Changes
- New commands: `encode/decode base32/base32hex`.
- `encode hex` gets a `--lower` flag.
- `encode/decode base64` deprecated in favor of `encode/decode
new-base64`.
# 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`
Breaking change in the plugin protocol:
In the signature record communicated with the engine.
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
The same rename also takes place for the methods on
`SimplePluginCommand` and `PluginCommand`

# Description
Allows `Stack` to have a modified local `Config`, which is updated
immediately when `$env.config` is assigned to. This means that even
within a script, commands that come after `$env.config` changes will
always see those changes in `Stack::get_config()`.
Also fixed a lot of cases where `engine_state.get_config()` was used
even when `Stack` was available.
Closes#13324.
# User-Facing Changes
- Config changes apply immediately after the assignment is executed,
rather than whenever config is read by a command that needs it.
- Potentially slower performance when executing a lot of lines that
change `$env.config` one after another. Recommended to get `$env.config`
into a `mut` variable first and do modifications, then assign it back.
- Much faster performance when executing a script that made
modifications to `$env.config`, as the changes are only parsed once.
# Tests + Formatting
All passing.

# Description
This PR adds an internal representation language to Nushell, offering an
alternative evaluator based on simple instructions, stream-containing
registers, and indexed control flow. The number of registers required is
determined statically at compile-time, and the fixed size required is
allocated upon entering the block.
Each instruction is associated with a span, which makes going backwards
from IR instructions to source code very easy.
Motivations for IR:
1. **Performance.** By simplifying the evaluation path and making it
more cache-friendly and branch predictor-friendly, code that does a lot
of computation in Nushell itself can be sped up a decent bit. Because
the IR is fairly easy to reason about, we can also implement
optimization passes in the future to eliminate and simplify code.
2. **Correctness.** The instructions mostly have very simple and
easily-specified behavior, so hopefully engine changes are a little bit
easier to reason about, and they can be specified in a more formal way
at some point. I have made an effort to document each of the
instructions in the docs for the enum itself in a reasonably specific
way. Some of the errors that would have happened during evaluation
before are now moved to the compilation step instead, because they don't
make sense to check during evaluation.
3. **As an intermediate target.** This is a good step for us to bring
the [`new-nu-parser`](https://github.com/nushell/new-nu-parser) in at
some point, as code generated from new AST can be directly compared to
code generated from old AST. If the IR code is functionally equivalent,
it will behave the exact same way.
4. **Debugging.** With a little bit more work, we can probably give
control over advancing the virtual machine that `IrBlock`s run on to
some sort of external driver, making things like breakpoints and single
stepping possible. Tools like `view ir` and [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir) make it easier than
before to see what exactly is going on with your Nushell code.
The goal is to eventually replace the AST evaluator entirely, once we're
sure it's working just as well. You can help dogfood this by running
Nushell with `$env.NU_USE_IR` set to some value. The environment
variable is checked when Nushell starts, so config runs with IR, or it
can also be set on a line at the REPL to change it dynamically. It is
also checked when running `do` in case within a script you want to just
run a specific piece of code with or without IR.
# Example
```nushell
view ir { |data|
mut sum = 0
for n in $data {
$sum += $n
}
$sum
}
```
```gas
# 3 registers, 19 instructions, 0 bytes of data
0: load-literal %0, int(0)
1: store-variable var 904, %0 # let
2: drain %0
3: drop %0
4: load-variable %1, var 903
5: iterate %0, %1, end 15 # for, label(1), from(14:)
6: store-variable var 905, %0
7: load-variable %0, var 904
8: load-variable %2, var 905
9: binary-op %0, Math(Plus), %2
10: span %0
11: store-variable var 904, %0
12: load-literal %0, nothing
13: drain %0
14: jump 5
15: drop %0 # label(0), from(5:)
16: drain %0
17: load-variable %0, var 904
18: return %0
```
# Benchmarks
All benchmarks run on a base model Mac Mini M1.
## Iterative Fibonacci sequence
This is about as best case as possible, making use of the much faster
control flow. Most code will not experience a speed improvement nearly
this large.
```nushell
def fib [n: int] {
mut a = 0
mut b = 1
for _ in 2..=$n {
let c = $a + $b
$a = $b
$b = $c
}
$b
}
use std bench
bench { 0..50 | each { |n| fib $n } }

[random-bytes.nu](https://github.com/nushell/nu_scripts/blob/main/benchmarks/random-bytes.nu)
I got pretty random results out of this benchmark so I decided not to
include it. Not clear why.
# User-Facing Changes
- IR compilation errors may appear even if the user isn't evaluating
with IR.
- IR evaluation can be enabled by setting the `NU_USE_IR` environment
variable to any value.
- New command `view ir` pretty-prints the IR for a block, and `view ir
--json` can be piped into an external tool like [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir).
# Tests + Formatting
All tests are passing with `NU_USE_IR=1`, and I've added some more eval
tests to compare the results for some very core operations. I will
probably want to add some more so we don't have to always check
`NU_USE_IR=1 toolkit test --workspace` on a regular basis.

# 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
I introduced a regression in #13272 that resulted in `detect columns
--guess` to panic whenever it had to handle empty, whitespace-only, or
non-whitespace-only lines that go all the way to the last column (and as
such, cannot be considered to be lines that only have entries for the
first colum). I fix this by detecting these cases and skipping them,
since these are usually decoration lines. An example is the second line
output by `winget list`:

What we don't want to skip, however, is lines that contain no
whitespace, and fit into the detected first column, since these lines
represent cases where data is only available for the first column, and
are not just decoration lines. For example (made up example, there are
no such entries in `winget lits`'s output), in this output we would not
want to skip the `Docker Desktop` line :
```
Name Id Version Available Source
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AMD Software ARPMachineX64AMD Catalyst Install Manager 24.4.1
AMD Ryzen Master ARPMachineX64AMD Ryzen Master 2.13.0.2908
Docker Desktop
Mozilla Firefox (x64 en-US) Mozilla.Firefox 127.0.2 winget
```

NOTE: `winget list | detect columns --guess` does not panic, but sadly
still does not work as expected. I believe this is not a nushell issue
anymore, but a `winget` one. When being piped, `winget` seems to add
extra whitespace and random `\r` symbols at the beginning of the text.
This messes with the column detection, of course.



# User-Facing Changes
`detect columns --guess` should not panic when receiving output from
`winget list` at all anymore.
A breaking change is the skipping of decoration lines, especially since
scripts probably were doing something like
`winget list | lines | reject 1 | str join "\n" | detect columns
--guess`. This will now cause them to reject a line with valid data.

This PR fixes#13269. The splitting code in `guess_width.rs` was
creating slices from char indices, instead of byte indices. This works
perfectly fine for 1-byte code points, but panics or returns wrong
results as soon as multibyte codepoints appear in the input. I
originally discovered this by piping `winget list` into `detect columns
--guess`, since winget sometimes uses the unicode ellipsis symbol (`…`)
which is 3 bytes long when encoded in utf-8.

# Description
Fixes: #13105Fixes: #13077
This pr makes `str substring`, `bytes at` work better with negative
index.
And it also fixes the false range semantic on `detect columns -c` in
some cases.
# User-Facing Changes
For `str substring`, `bytes at`, it will no-longer return an error if
start index is larger than end index. It makes sense to return an empty
string of empty bytes directly.
### Before
```nushell
# str substring
❯ ("aaa" | str substring 2..-3) == ""
Error: nu:🐚:type_mismatch
× Type mismatch.
╭─[entry #23:1:10]

· ──────┬──────
· ╰── End must be greater than or equal to Start
2 │ true
╰────
# bytes at
❯ ("aaa" | encode utf-8 | bytes at 2..-3) == ("" | encode utf-8)
Error: nu:🐚:type_mismatch
× Type mismatch.
╭─[entry #27:1:25]
1 │ ("aaa" | encode utf-8 | bytes at 2..-3) == ("" | encode utf-8)
· ────┬───
· ╰── End must be greater than or equal to Start
╰────
```
### After
```nushell
# str substring
❯ ("aaa" | str substring 2..-3) == ""
true
# bytes at
❯ ("aaa" | encode utf-8 | bytes at 2..-3) == ("" | encode utf-8)

It's still unsure if we want to change the `range semantic` itself, but
it's good to keep range semantic consistent between nushell commands.

# Tests + Formatting
Adjust tests to fit new behavior
# Description
This PR allows byte streams to optionally be colored as being
specifically binary or string data, which guarantees that they'll be
converted to `Binary` or `String` appropriately on `into_value()`,
making them compatible with `Type` guarantees. This makes them
significantly more broadly usable for command input and output.
There is still an `Unknown` type for byte streams coming from external
commands, which uses the same behavior as we previously did where it's a
string if it's UTF-8.
A small number of commands were updated to take advantage of this, just
to prove the point. I will be adding more after this merges.
# User-Facing Changes
- New types in `describe`: `string (stream)`, `binary (stream)`
- These commands now return a stream if their input was a stream:
- `into binary`
- `into string`
- `bytes collect`
- `str join`
- `first` (binary)
- `last` (binary)
- `take` (binary)
- `skip` (binary)
- Streams that are explicitly binary colored will print as a streaming
hexdump
- example:
```nushell
1.. | each { into binary } | bytes collect
```
# Tests + Formatting
I've added some tests to cover it at a basic level, and it doesn't break
anything existing, but I do think more would be nice. Some of those will
come when I modify more commands to stream.
# After Submitting
There are a few things I'm not quite satisfied with:
- **String trimming behavior.** We automatically trim newlines from
streams from external commands, but I don't think we should do this with
internal commands. If I call a command that happens to turn my string
into a stream, I don't want the newline to suddenly disappear. I changed
this to specifically do it only on `Child` and `File`, but I don't know
if this is quite right, and maybe we should bring back the old flag for
`trim_end_newline`
- **Known binary always resulting in a hexdump.** It would be nice to
have a `print --raw`, so that we can put binary data on stdout
explicitly if we want to. This PR doesn't change how external commands
work though - they still dump straight to stdout.
Otherwise, here's the normal checklist:
- [ ] release notes
- [ ] docs update for plugin protocol changes (added `type` field)

# Description
Changes `get_full_help` to take a `&dyn Command` instead of multiple
arguments (`&Signature`, `&Examples` `is_parser_keyword`). All of these
arguments can be gathered from a `Command`, so there is no need to pass
the pieces to `get_full_help`.
This PR also fixes an issue where the search terms are not shown if
`--help` is used on a command.
# Description
Kind of a vague title, but this PR does two main things:
1. Rather than overriding functions like `Command::is_parser_keyword`,
this PR instead changes commands to override `Command::command_type`.
The `CommandType` returned by `Command::command_type` is then used to
automatically determine whether `Command::is_parser_keyword` and the
other `is_{type}` functions should return true. These changes allow us
to remove the `CommandType::Other` case and should also guarantee than
only one of the `is_{type}` functions on `Command` will return true.
2. Uses the new, reworked `Command::command_type` function in the `scope
commands` and `which` commands.
# User-Facing Changes
- Breaking change for `scope commands`: multiple columns (`is_builtin`,
`is_keyword`, `is_plugin`, etc.) have been merged into the `type`
column.
- Breaking change: the `which` command can now report `plugin` or
`keyword` instead of `built-in` in the `type` column. It may also now
report `external` instead of `custom` in the `type` column for known
`extern`s.
# Description
This PR introduces a `ByteStream` type which is a `Read`-able stream of
bytes. Internally, it has an enum over three different byte stream
sources:
```rust
pub enum ByteStreamSource {
Read(Box<dyn Read + Send + 'static>),
File(File),
Child(ChildProcess),
}
```
This is in comparison to the current `RawStream` type, which is an
`Iterator<Item = Vec<u8>>` and has to allocate for each read chunk.
Currently, `PipelineData::ExternalStream` serves a weird dual role where
it is either external command output or a wrapper around `RawStream`.
`ByteStream` makes this distinction more clear (via `ByteStreamSource`)
and replaces `PipelineData::ExternalStream` in this PR:
```rust
pub enum PipelineData {
Empty,
Value(Value, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
ListStream(ListStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
ByteStream(ByteStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
}
```
The PR is relatively large, but a decent amount of it is just repetitive
changes.
This PR fixes#7017, fixes#10763, and fixes#12369.
This PR also improves performance when piping external commands. Nushell
should, in most cases, have competitive pipeline throughput compared to,
e.g., bash.
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| -------------------------------------------------- | -------------:|
------------:| -----------:|
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 3059 | 3744 | 3739 |
| `throughput \| nu --testbin relay o> /dev/null` | 3508 | 8087 | 8136 |
# User-Facing Changes
- This is a breaking change for the plugin communication protocol,
because the `ExternalStreamInfo` was replaced with `ByteStreamInfo`.
Plugins now only have to deal with a single input stream, as opposed to
the previous three streams: stdout, stderr, and exit code.
- The output of `describe` has been changed for external/byte streams.
- Temporary breaking change: `bytes starts-with` no longer works with
byte streams. This is to keep the PR smaller, and `bytes ends-with`
already does not work on byte streams.
- If a process core dumped, then instead of having a `Value::Error` in
the `exit_code` column of the output returned from `complete`, it now is
a `Value::Int` with the negation of the signal number.
# After Submitting
- Update docs and book as necessary
- Release notes (e.g., plugin protocol changes)
- Adapt/convert commands to work with byte streams (high priority is
`str length`, `bytes starts-with`, and maybe `bytes ends-with`).
- Refactor the `tee` code, Devyn has already done some work on this.

# Description
This PR resolves an inconsistency between different `str` subcommands,
notably `str contains`, `str starts-with` and `str ends-with`. Only the
`str contains` command has the `--not` flag and a desicion was made in
this #12781 PR to remove the `--not` flag and use the `not` operator
instead.
Before:
`"blob" | str contains --not o`
After:
`not ("blob" | str contains o)` OR `"blob" | str contains o | not $in`
> Note, you can currently do all three, but the first will be broken
after this PR is merged.

# After Submitting
Requires update of documentation
# Description
- Switches the `excess` in the `ParserStream` and
`ParseStreamerExternal` types from a `Vec` to a `VecDeque`
- Removes unnecessary clones to `stream_helper`
- Other simplifications and loop restructuring
- Merges the `ParseStreamer` and `ParseStreamerExternal` types into a
common `ParseIter`
- `parse` now streams for list values
# 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
Bumps `base64` to 0.22.1 which fixes the alphabet used for binhex
encoding and decoding. This required updating some test expected output.
Related to PR #12469 where `base64` was also bumped and ran into the
failing tests.
# User-Facing Changes
Bug fix, but still changes binhex encoding and decoding output.
# Tests + Formatting
Updated test expected output.
# Description
Continuing from #12568, this PR further reduces the size of `Expr` from
64 to 40 bytes. It also reduces `Expression` from 128 to 96 bytes and
`Type` from 32 to 24 bytes.
This was accomplished by:
- for `Expr` with multiple fields (e.g., `Expr::Thing(A, B, C)`),
merging the fields into new AST struct types and then boxing this struct
(e.g. `Expr::Thing(Box<ABC>)`).
- replacing `Vec<T>` with `Box<[T]>` in multiple places. `Expr`s and
`Expression`s should rarely be mutated, if at all, so this optimization
makes sense.
By reducing the size of these types, I didn't notice a large performance
improvement (at least compared to #12568). But this PR does reduce the
memory usage of nushell. My config is somewhat light so I only noticed a
difference of 1.4MiB (38.9MiB vs 37.5MiB).

For a long time, I was searching for the `str extract` command to
extract regexes from strings. I often painfully used `str replace -r

Only this morning did I realize that `parse` is what I needed for so
many times, which I had only used for parsing data in tables.

Currently I think it's fine to replace `--legacy` flag with `--guess`
one. Only use `guess_width` algorithm if `--guess` is provided.
# User-Facing Changes
So it won't be a breaking change to previous version.
# 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
@fdncred found another histogram based algorithm to detect columns, and
rewrite it in rust: https://github.com/fdncred/guess-width
I have tested it manually, and it works good with `df`, `docker ps`,
`^ps`. This pr is going to use the algorithm in `detect columns`
Fix: #4183
The pitfall of new algorithm:
1. it may not works well if there isn't too much rows of input
2. it may not works well if the length of value is less than the header
to value, e.g:
```
c1 c2 c3 c4 c5
a b c d e
g h i j k
g a a q d
a v c q q | detect columns
```
In this case, users might need to use ~~`--old`~~ `--legacy` to make it
works well.
# User-Facing Changes
User might need to add ~~`--old`~~ `--legacy` to scripts if they find
`detect columns` in their scripts broken.

Avoid unnecessary allocations or larger iterator structs
- Turn static `Vec`s into arrays when possible
- Use `std::iter::once`/`empty` where applicable
- Use `bool::then_some` in `detect column` `.chain`
- Drop in the bucket: de-vec-ing tests

# Description
Hi,
Fixes#10838, where before the `date` would be formatted incorrectly,
and was not picking `LC_TIME` for time formatting, but it picked the
first locale returned by the `sys-locale` crate instead. Now it will
format time based on `LC_TIME`. For example,
```
// my locale `nl_NL.UTF-8`
❯ date now | format date '%x %X'
20-02-24 17:17:12
$env.LC_TIME = "en_US.UTF-8"
❯ date now | format date '%x %X'
02/20/2024 05:16:28 PM
```
Note that I also changed the `default_env.nu` as otherwise the Time will
show AM/PM twice. Also reason for the `chrono` update is because this
relies on a fix to upstream repo, which i initially submitted an
[issue](https://github.com/chronotope/chrono/issues/1349#event-11765363286)

# Description
Following #11851, this PR adds one final conversion function for
`Value`. `Value::coerce_str` takes a `&Value` and converts it to a
`Cow<str>`, creating an owned `String` for types that needed converting.
Otherwise, it returns a borrowed `str` for `String` and `Binary`
`Value`s which avoids a clone/allocation. Where possible, `coerce_str`
and `coerce_into_string` should be used instead of `coerce_string`,
since `coerce_string` always allocates a new `String`.
# 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 |

Fixes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/11716
The problem is in our [record creation
API](0d518bf813/crates/nu-protocol/src/value/record.rs (L33))
which panics if the numbers of columns and values are different. I added
a safe variant that returns a `Result` and used it in the `rotate`
command.
## TODO in another PR:
Go through all `from_raw_cols_vals_unchecked()` (this includes the
`record!` macro which uses the unchecked version) and make sure that
either
a) it is guaranteed the number of cols and vals is the same, or
b) convert the call to `from_raw_cols_vals()`
Reason: Nushell should never panic.
