# User-Facing Changes
when define a closure without pipe, nushell will raise error for now:
```
❯ let x = {ss ss}
Error: nu::parser::closure_missing_pipe
× Missing || inside closure
╭─[entry #2:1:1]
1 │ let x = {ss ss}
· ───┬───
· ╰── Parsing as a closure, but || is missing
╰────
help: Try add || to the beginning of closure
```
`any`, `each`, `all`, `where` command accepts closure, it forces user
input closure like `{||`, or parse error will returned.
```
❯ {major:2, minor:1, patch:4} | values | each { into string }
Error: nu::parser::closure_missing_pipe
× Missing || inside closure
╭─[entry #4:1:1]
1 │ {major:2, minor:1, patch:4} | values | each { into string }
· ───────┬───────
· ╰── Parsing as a closure, but || is missing
╰────
help: Try add || to the beginning of closure
```
`with-env`, `do`, `def`, `try` are special, they still remain the same,
although it says that it accepts a closure, but they don't need to be
written like `{||`, it's more likely a block but can capture variable
outside of scope:
```
❯ def test [input] { echo [0 1 2] | do { do { echo $input } } }; test aaa
aaa
```
Just realize that It's a big breaking change, we need to update config
and scripts...
# Tests + Formatting
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
# After Submitting
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.
# Description
`bytes starts-with` converts the input into a `Value` before running
.starts_with to find if the binary matches. This has two side effects:
it makes the code simpler, only dealing in whole values, and simplifying
a lot of input pipeline handling and value transforming it would
otherwise have to do. _Especially_ in the presence of a cell path to
drill into. It also makes buffers the entire input into memory, which
can take up a lot of memory when dealing with large files, especially if
you only want to check the first few bytes (like for a magic number).
This PR adds a special branch on PipelineData::ExternalStream with a
streaming version of starts_with.
# User-Facing Changes
Opening large files and running bytes starts-with on them will not take
a long time.

# Drawbacks
Streaming checking is more complicated, and there may be bugs. I tested
it with multiple chunks with string data and binary data and it seems to
work alright up to 8k and over bytes, though.
The existing `operate` method still exists because the way it handles
cell paths and values is complicated. This causes some "code
duplication", or at least some intent duplication, between the value
code and the streaming code. This might be worthwhile considering the
performance gains (approaching infinity on larger inputs).
Another thing to consider is that my ExternalStream branch considers
string data as valid input. The operate branch only parses Binary
values, so it would fail. `open` is kind of unpredictable on whether it
returns string data or binary data, even when passing `--raw`. I think
this can be a problem but not really one I'm trying to tackle in this
PR, so, it's worth considering.
