# 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.
# Description
Fixes a couple panics:
```
> {} | inspect
Error: x Main thread panicked.
|-> at crates/nu-command/src/debug/inspect_table.rs:87:15
`-> attempt to divide by zero
```
```
> {} | explore
# see an empty column, press Down
Error: x Main thread panicked.
|-> at crates/nu-explore/src/views/cursor/mod.rs:39:9
`-> attempt to subtract with overflow
```
# User-Facing Changes
`{} | inspect` now outputs an empty table:
```
╭─────────────┬────────╮
│ description │ record │
├─────────────┴────────┤
│ │
├──────────────────────┤
```
`{} | explore` opens the help menu.
Both match the empty list behavior.
# Tests
I'm not sure how to test `explore`, as it waits for interaction.
# Description
Partialy addresses #13868. `try` does not catch non-zero exit code
errors from the last command in a pipeline if the result is assigned to
a variable using `let` (or `mut`).
This was fixed by adding a new `OutDest::Value` case. This is used when
the pipeline is in a "value" position. I.e., it will be collected into a
value. This ended up replacing most of the usages of `OutDest::Capture`.
So, this PR also renames `OutDest::Capture` to `OutDest::PipeSeparate`
to better fit the few remaining use cases for it.
# User-Facing Changes
Bug fix.
# Tests + Formatting
Added two tests.
# Description
Cleans up and refactors the config code using the `IntoValue` macro.
Shoutout to @cptpiepmatz for making the macro!
# User-Facing Changes
Should be none.
# After Submitting
Somehow refactor the reverse transformation.
# Description
`cargo` somewhat recently gained the capability to store `lints`
settings for the crate and workspace, that can override the defaults
from `rustc` and `clippy` lints. This means we can enforce some lints
without having to actively pass them to clippy via `cargo clippy -- -W
...`. So users just forking the repo have an easier time to follow
similar requirements like our CI.
## Limitation
An exception that remains is that those lints apply to both the primary
code base and the tests. Thus we can't include e.g. `unwrap_used`
without generating noise in the tests. Here the setup in the CI remains
the most helpful.
## Included lints
- Add `clippy::unchecked_duration_subtraction` (added by #12549)
# User-Facing Changes
Running `cargo clippy --workspace` should be closer to the CI. This has
benefits for editor configured runs of clippy and saves you from having
to use `toolkit` to be close to CI in more cases.
# 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`
# Tests + Formatting
- Updated plugin protocol specific changes
# After Submitting
- [ ] update plugin protocol doc
# Description
Cleanups:
- Add "key_press" to event reading function names to match reality
- Move the relevant comment about why only key press events are
interesting one layer up
- Remove code duplication in handle_events
- Make `try_next` try harder (instead of bail on a boring event); I
think that was the original intention
- Remove recursion from `next` (I think that's clearer? but maybe just
what I'm used to)
# User-Facing Changes
None
# Tests + Formatting
This cleans up existing code, no new test coverage.
# Description
Add `README.md` files to each crate in our workspace (-plugins) and also
include it in the `lib.rs` documentation for <docs.rs> (if there is no
existing `lib.rs` crate documentation)
In all new README I added the defensive comment that the crates are not
considered stable for public consumption. If necessary we can adjust
this if we deem a crate useful for plugin authors.
# 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.
# After Submitting
- [ ] release notes
# 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.

This is an internal refactoring for `explore`.
Previously, views inside `explore` were created with default/incorrect
configuration and then the correct configuration was passed to them
using a function called `setup()`. I believe this was because
configuration was dynamic and could change while `explore` was running.
After https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/10259, configuration can
no longer be changed on the fly. So we can clean this up by removing
`setup()` and passing configuration to views when they are created.
This PR fixes an issue with `explore` where you can "drill down" into
the same value forever. For example:
1. Run `ls | explore`
2. Press Enter to enter cursor mode
3. Press Enter again to open the selected string in a new layer
4. Press Enter again to open that string in a new layer
5. Press Enter again to open that string in a new layer
6. Repeat and eventually you have a bajillion layers open with the same
string
IMO it only makes sense to "drill down" into lists and records.
In a separate commit I also did a little refactoring, cleaning up naming
and comments.

Somehow I believe that split lines were implemented originally; (I
haven't got to find it though; from a quick look)
I mean a long time ago before a lot a changes were made.
Probably adding horizontal lines would make also some sense.
ref #13116close#13140
Take care
________________
If `explore` is used, frequently, or planned to be so.
I guess it would be a good one to create a test suite for it; to not
break things occasionally 😅
I did approached it one time back then using `expectrl` (literally
`expect`), but there was some issues.
Maybe smth. did change.
Or some `clean` mode could be introduced for it, to being able to be
used by outer programs; to control `nu`.
Just thoughts here.
Could be improved further I guess; but not here;
You can test the speed differences using data from #13088
```nu
open data.db | get profiles | explore
```
address: #13062

1. Noticed that search does not work anymore (even on `main` branch).
2. Not sure about resolved merged conflicts, seems fine, but maybe
something was lost.

Configuration in `explore` has always been confusing to me. This PR
overhauls (and simplifies, I think) how configuration is done.
# Details
1. Configuration is now strongly typed. In `Explore::run()` we create an
`ExploreConfig` struct from the more general Nu configuration and
arguments to `explore`, then pass that struct to other parts of
`explore` that need configuration. IMO this is a lot easier to reason
about and trace than the previous approach of creating a
`HashMap<String, Value>` and then using that to make various structs
elsewhere.
2. We now inherit more configuration from the config used for regular Nu
tables
1. Border/line styling now uses the `separator` style used for regular
Nu tables, the special `explore.split_line` config point has been
retired.
2. Cell padding in tables is now controlled by `table.padding` instead
of the undocumented `column_padding_left`/`column_padding_right` config
3. The (optional, previously not enabled by default) `selected_row` and
`selected_column` configuration has been removed. We now only highlight
the selected cell. I could re-add this if people really like the feature
but I'm guessing nobody uses it.
The interface still looks the same with a default/empty config.nu:
This fixes up a panic I accidentally introduced when refactoring the
cursor code in `explore`: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/12979
Under certain circumstances (running `:nu []`, opening `:try` with the
hidden `try.reactive` setting enabled), `explore` would panic when
handling an empty list. To fix this for now I've removed the validation
I added to the Cursor constructor in that PR.
`explore` has 3 cursor-related structs that are extensively used to
track the currently shown "window" of the data being shown. I was
finding the cursor code quite difficult to follow, so this PR:
- rewrites the base `Cursor` struct from scratch, with some tests
- makes big changes to `WindowCursor`
- renames `XYCursor` to `WindowCursor2D`
- makes some of the cursor functions fallible as a start towards better
error handling
- changes lots of function names to things that I find more intuitive
- adds comments, including ASCII diagrams to explain how the cursors
work
More work could be done (I'd like to review/change more function names
in `WindowCursor` and `WindowCursor2D` and add more tests), but this is
the limit of what I can get done in a weekend. I think this part of the
code is in a better place now.
# Testing performed
I did a lot of manual testing in the record view and binary viewer,
moving around with arrow keys / page up+down / home+end.
This can definitely wait until after the release freeze, this area has
very few automated tests and it'd be good to let the changes bake a bit.
Closes#12980. More context there, but basically `explore` was getting
file metadata for every row every time the record view was rendered. The
quick fix for now is to do the `LS_COLORS` colouring with a `&str`
instead of a path and file metadata.
Another very boring PR cleaning up and documenting some of `explore`'s
innards. Mostly renaming things that I found confusing or vague when
reading through the code, also adding some comments.
Small change, removing 4 more configuration options from `explore`'s
binary viewer:
1. `show_index`
2. `show_data`
3. `show_ascii`
4. `show_split`
These controlled whether the 3 columns in the binary viewer (index, hex
data, ASCII) and the pipe separator (`|`) in between them are shown. I
don't think we need this level of configurability until the `explore`
command is more mature, and maybe even not then; we can just show them
all.
I think it's very unlikely that anyone is using these configuration
points.
Also, the row offset (e.g. how many rows we have scrolled down) was
being stored in config/settings when it's arguably not config; more like
internal state of the binary viewer. I moved it to a more appropriate
location and renamed it.
Some minor changes to `explore`, continuing on my mission to simplify
the command in preparation for a larger UX overhaul:
1. Consolidate padding configuration. I don't think we need separate
config points for the (optional) index column and regular data columns
in the normal pager, they can share padding configuration. Likewise, in
the binary viewer all 3 columns (index, data, ASCII) had their
left+right padding configured independently.
2. Update `explore` so we use the binary viewer for the new `ByteStream`
type. `cat foo.txt | into binary | explore` was not using the binary
viewer after the `ByteStream` changes.
3. Tweak the naming of a few helper functions, add a comment
I've put the changes in separate commits to make them easier to review.

# 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.

- fixes#12841
# Description
Add boundary checks to ensure that the row and column chosen in
RecordView are not over the length of the possible row and columns. If
we are out of bounds, we default to Value::nothing.
# Tests + Formatting
Tests ran and formatting done
# Description
Adds subcommands to `sys` corresponding to each column of the record
returned by `sys`. This is to alleviate the fact that `sys` now returns
a regular record, meaning that it must compute every column which might
take a noticeable amount of time. The subcommands, on the other hand,
only need to compute and return a subset of the data which should be
much faster. In fact, it should be as fast as before, since this is how
the lazy record worked (it would compute only each column as necessary).
I choose to add subcommands instead of having an optional cell-path
parameter on `sys`, since the cell-path parameter would:
- increase the code complexity (can access any value at any row or
nested column)
- prevents discovery with tab-completion
- hinders type checking and allows users to pass potentially invalid
columns
# User-Facing Changes
Deprecates `sys` in favor of the new `sys` subcommands.
# 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
Nightly clippy found some unused fields leading me down a rabbit hole of
dead code hidden behind `pub`
Generally removing any already dead code or premature configurability
that is not exposed to the user.
# User-Facing Changes
None in effect.
Removed some options from the `$env.config.explore.hex-dump` record that
were only read into a struct but never used and also not validated.
# Description
Removes lazy records from the language, following from the reasons
outlined in #12622. Namely, this should make semantics more clear and
will eliminate concerns regarding maintainability.
# User-Facing Changes
- Breaking change: `lazy make` is removed.
- Breaking change: `describe --collect-lazyrecords` flag is removed.
- `sys` and `debug info` now return regular records.
# After Submitting
- Update nushell book if necessary.
- Explore new `sys` and `debug info` APIs to prevent them from taking
too long (e.g., subcommands or taking an optional column/cell-path
argument).
This PR:
1. Adds basic support for `CustomValue` to `explore`. Previously `open
foo.db | explore` didn't really work, now we "materialize" the whole
database to a `Value` before loading it
2. Adopts `anyhow` for error handling in `explore`. Previously we were
kind of rolling our own version of `anyhow` by shoving all errors into a
`std::io::Error`; I think this is much nicer. This was necessary because
as part of 1), collecting input is now fallible...
3. Removes a lot of `explore`'s fancy command help system.
- Previously each command (`:help`, `:try`, etc.) had a sophisticated
help system with examples etc... but this was not very visible to users.
You had to know to run `:help :try` or view a list of commands with
`:help :`
- As discussed previously, we eventually want to move to a less modal
approach for `explore`, without the Vim-like commands. And so I don't
think it's worth keeping this command help system around (it's
intertwined with other stuff, and making these changes would have been
harder if keeping it).
4. Rename the `--reverse` flag to `--tail`. The flag scrolls to the end
of the data, which IMO is described better by "tail"
5. Does some renaming+commenting to clear up things I found difficult to
understand when navigating the `explore` code
I initially thought 1) would be just a few lines, and then this PR blew
up into much more extensive changes 😅
## Before
The whole database was being displayed as a single Nuon/JSON line 🤔
## After
The database gets displayed like a record
## Future work
It is sort of annoying that we have to load a whole SQLite database into
memory to make this work; it will be impractical for large databases.
I'd like to explore improvements to `CustomValue` that can make this
work more efficiently.
