# Description
As title, currently on latest main, nushell confused user if it allows
implicit casting between glob and string:
```nushell
let x = "*.txt"
def glob-test [g: glob] { open $g }
glob-test $x
```
It always expand the glob although `$x` is defined as a string.
This pr implements a solution from @kubouch :
> We could make it really strict and disallow all autocasting between
globs and strings because that's what's causing the "magic" confusion.
Then, modify all builtins that accept globs to accept oneof(glob,
string) and the rules would be that globs always expand and strings
never expand
# User-Facing Changes
After this pr, user needs to use `into glob` to invoke `glob-test`, if
user pass a string variable:
```nushell
let x = "*.txt"
def glob-test [g: glob] { open $g }
glob-test ($x | into glob)
```
Or else nushell will return an error.

Also Fixes: #11838
## About the code change
It applys the same logic when we pass variables to external commands:
0487e9ffcb/crates/nu-command/src/system/run_external.rs (L162-L170)
That is: if user input dynamic things(like variables, sub-expression, or
string interpolation), it returns a quoted `NuPath`, then user input
won't be globbed
# User-Facing Changes
Given two input files: `a*c.txt`, `abc.txt`
* `let f = "a*c.txt"; rm $f` will remove one file: `a*c.txt`.
~* `let f = "a*c.txt"; rm --glob $f` will remove `a*c.txt` and
`abc.txt`~
* `let f: glob = "a*c.txt"; rm $f` will remove `a*c.txt` and `abc.txt`
## Rules about globbing with *variable*
Given two files: `a*c.txt`, `abc.txt`
| Cmd Type | example | Result |
| ----- | ------------------ | ------ |
| builtin | let f = "a*c.txt"; rm $f | remove `a*c.txt` |
| builtin | let f: glob = "a*c.txt"; rm $f | remove `a*c.txt` and
`abc.txt`
| builtin | let f = "a*c.txt"; rm ($f \| into glob) | remove `a*c.txt`
and `abc.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: glob] { rm $f }; let f = "a*c.txt"; crm $f |
remove `a*c.txt` and `abc.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: glob] { rm ($f \| into string) }; let f =
"a*c.txt"; crm $f | remove `a*c.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: string] { rm $f }; let f = "a*c.txt"; crm $f |
remove `a*c.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: string] { rm $f }; let f = "a*c.txt"; crm ($f \|
into glob) | remove `a*c.txt` and `abc.txt`
In general, if a variable is annotated with `glob` type, nushell will
expand glob pattern. Or else, we need to use `into | glob` to expand
glob pattern

> Revert the logic in https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/10694 and
apply the logic in this pr to mv, cp, rv will require a larger change, I
need to think how to achieve the bahavior
And sorry @bobhy for reverting some of your changes.
This pr is going to unify glob behavior on the given commands:
* open
* rm
* cp-old
* mv
* umv
* cp
* du
So they have the same behavior to `ls`, which is:
If given parameter is quoted by single quote(`'`) or double quote(`"`),
don't auto-expand the glob pattern. If not quoted, auto-expand the glob
pattern.
Fixes: #9558Fixes: #10211Fixes: #9310Fixes: #10364
# TODO
But there is one thing remains: if we give a variable to the command, it
will always auto-expand the glob pattern, e.g:
```nushell
let path = "a[123]b"
rm $path
```
I don't think it's expected. But I also think user might want to
auto-expand the glob pattern in variables.
So I'll introduce a new command called `glob escape`, then if user
doesn't want to auto-expand the glob pattern, he can just do this: `rm
($path | glob escape)`

## NOTE
This pr changes the semantic of `GlobPattern`, before this pr, it will
`expand path` after evaluated, this makes `nu_engine::glob_from` have no
chance to glob things right if a path contains glob pattern.
e.g: [#9310
](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/9310#issuecomment-1886824030)
#10211
I think changing the semantic is fine, because it makes glob works if
path contains something like '*'.
It maybe a breaking change if a custom command's argument are annotated
by `: glob`.
# Description
This PR adds possibility to preserve/strip attributes from files when
using `cp` (via uu_cp::Attributes). To achieve this a single `--preserve
<list of attributes>` flag is added. This is different from how
coreutils and uutils cp function, but I believe this is better for
nushell.
Coreutils cp has three options `-p`, `--preserve` and `--no-presevce`.
The logic of these two options is not straightforward. As far as I
understand it is:
1. By default only mode attributes are preserved
2. `--preserve` option adds to default preserved attributes specified
ones (e.g. `--preserve=xattr,timestamps` will preserve mode, timestamps
and xattr)
3. `-p` is the same as `--preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps`
4. `--no-preserve` option rejects specified attributes (having priority
over `--preserve`)
However (in my opinion) the `--no-preserve` option is not needed,
because its only use seems to be rejecting attributes preserved by
default. But there is no need for this in nushell, because `--preserve`
can be specified with empty list as argument (whereas coreutils cp will
display a `cp: ambiguous argument ‘’ for ‘--preserve’` error if
`--preserve` is used with empty string as argument).
So to simplify this command is suggest (and implemented) only the
`--preserve` with the following logic:
1. By default mode attribute is preserved (as in coreutils cp)
2. `--preserve [ ... ]` will overwrite default with whatever is
specified in list (empty list meaning preserve nothing)
This way cp without `--preserve` behaves the same as coreutils `cp`, but
instead of using combinations of `--preserve` and `--no-preserve` one
needs to use `--preserve [ ... ]` with all attributes specified
explicitly. This seems more user-friendly to me as it does not require
remembering what the attributes preserved by default are and rejecting
them manually. However I see the possible problem with behavior
different from coreutils implementation, so some feedback is
apprecieated!
# User-Facing Changes
Users can now preserve or reject file attributes when using `cp`

where target of cp is not correctly expanded.
If one has directory `test` with file `file.txt` in it then the
following command (in one line or inside a `do` block):
```nu
cd test; let file = 'copy.txt'; cp file.txt $file
```
will create a `copy.txt` in `.` not in `test` instead. This happens
because target of `cp` is a variable which is not expanded unlike a
string literal

# Description
- this PR should close#10819
# User-Facing Changes
Behaviour is similar to pre 0.86.0 behaviour of the cp command and
should as such not have a user-facing change, only compared to the
current version, were the option is readded.
# After Submitting
I guess the documentation will be automatically updated and as this
feature is no further highlighted, probably, no more work will be needed
here.
# Considerations
coreutils actually allows a third option:
```
pub enum UpdateMode {
// --update=`all`,
ReplaceAll,
// --update=`none`
ReplaceNone,
// --update=`older`
// -u
ReplaceIfOlder,
}
```
namely `ReplaceNone`, which I have not added. Also I think that
specifying `--update 'abc'` is non functional.
(squashed version of #10557, clean commit history and review thread)
Fixes#10571, also potentially: #10364, #10211, #9558, #9310,
# Description
Changes processing of arguments to filesystem commands that are source
paths or globs.
Applies to `cp, cp-old, mv, rm, du` but not `ls` (because it uses a
different globbing interface) or `glob` (because it uses a different
globbing library).
The core of the change is to lookup the argument first as a file and
only glob if it is not. That way,
a path containing glob metacharacters can be referenced without glob
quoting, though it will have to be single quoted to avoid nushell
parsing.
Before: A file path that looks like a glob is not matched by the glob
specified as a (source) argument and takes some thinking about to
access. You might say the glob pattern shadows a file with the same
spelling.
```

> cp --verbose 'a[[]bc[]]d' dest
copied /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/a[bc]d to /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/dest/a[bc]d
```
Before_2: if file has glob metachars but isn't a valid pattern, user
gets a confusing error:
```
> touch 'a[b'
> cp 'a[b' dest
Error: × Pattern syntax error near position 30: invalid range pattern
╭─[entry #13:1:1]
1 │ cp 'a[b' dest
· ──┬──
· ╰── invalid pattern
╰────
```
After: Args to cp, mv, etc. are tried first as literal files, and only
as globs if not found to be files.
```
> cp --verbose 'a[bc]d' dest
copied /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/a[bc]d to /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/dest/a[bc]d
> cp --verbose '[a][bc]d' dest
copied /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/abd to /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/dest/abd
copied /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/acd to /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/dest/acd
```
After_2: file with glob metachars but invalid pattern just works.
(though Windows does not allow file name to contain `*`.).
```
> cp --verbose 'a[b' dest
copied /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/a[b to /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/dest/a[b
```
So, with this fix, a file shadows a glob pattern with the same spelling.
If you have such a file and really want to use the glob pattern, you
will have to glob quote some of the characters in the pattern. I think
that's less confusing to the user: if ls shows a file with a weird name,
s/he'll still be able to copy, rename or delete it.
# User-Facing Changes
Could break some existing scripts. If user happened to have a file with
a globbish name but was using a glob pattern with the same spelling, the
new version will process the file and not expand the glob.

# Description
Closes#10537. Basically error message was unhelpful, and this temporary
measure adds back the nice previous nushell error message. Ideally, we
would like to add a more permanent solution mentioned in the issue
[comments](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/10537#issuecomment-1743686122),
but since we want to have `ucp` as `cp` on new release, this is hackier
but way simpler so this fix should do it.
Only downside is that now behavior differs from `uutils` in the sense
that:
```
uutils:
> cp a foo/ bar
ls bar
# foo/a
nushell:
>ucp a foo/ bar
# directory error (not copied) ....
```
So, since its non fatal error, uutils copies a, but nushell errors out
with nothing copied. If we go to option 3 mentioned above, then we can
decide what we want to do, and perhaps continue on a non fatal error.

Reverts nushell/nushell#10596
Using the long option in examples is going to be confusing as it makes
the reader think the long option is required. It also isn't idiomatic
Nushell.
The examples should be copy-paste-able as idiomatic Nushell, so as such
we shouldn't expand them to the long flag name.

Also added the test to ensure its working:) . Oh, and I tweaked again
slightly the messages on two tests because now the whole `path` is

# Tests + Formatting
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- [X] `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting
(`cargo fmt --all` applies these changes)
- [X] `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used`
to check that you're using the standard code style
- [X] `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows
make sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- [X] `cargo run -- -c "use std testing; testing run-tests --path
crates/nu-std"` to run the tests for the standard library

# Description
Hi. Basically, this is a continuation of the work that @fdncred started.
Given some nice discussions on #9463 , and [merged uutils
PR](https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/5152) from @tertsdiepraam
we have decided to give the `cp` command the `crawl` stage as it was
named.
> [!NOTE]
Given that the `uutils` crate has not made the release for the merged
PR, just make sure you checkout latest and put it in the required place
to make this PR work.
The aim of this PR is for is to see how to move forward using `uutils`
crate. In order to getting this started, I have made the current
`nushell cp tests` pass along with some extra ones I copied over from
the `uutils` repo.
With all of that being said, things that would be nice to decide, and
keep working on:
Crawl:
- Handling of certain `named` flags, with their long and short
forms(e.g. --update, --reflink, --preserve, etc), and using default
values. Maybe `-u` can already have a `default_missing_value`.
- Should we maybe just support one single option `switch` flags (see
`--backup` in code) as a contrast to the other named args.
- Complete test coverage from `uutils`. They had > 100 tests, and I
could only port like 12 as they are a bit time consuming given they
cannot be straight up copy pasted. Maybe we do not need all >100, but
maybe the more relevant to what we want.
- Refactor this code
Walk:
- Non fatal errors on `copy` from `utils`. Currently it just sends it to
stdout but errors have no span
- Better integration
An added possibility is the addition of `SyntaxShape::OneOf()` for
`Named` arguments which was briefly mentioned in the discord server, but
that is still to be decided. This could greatly improve some of the
integration. This would enable something like `cp --preserve [all
timestamp]` or `cp --preserve all` to both work.
I did not want to keep holding on this, and wait till I was happy with
the code because I think its nice if everyone can start up and suggest
refactors, but the main important part now was getting it out the door,
as if I take my sweet time this will take way longer 😛
