# Description
Part 3 of replacing `std::path` types with `nu_path` types added in
#13115. This PR targets the paths listed in `$nu`. That is, the home,
config, data, and cache directories.
- **Doccomment style fixes**
- **Forgotten stuff in `nu-pretty-hex`**
- **Don't `for` around an `Option`**
- and more
I think the suggestions here are a net positive, some of the suggestions
moved into #13498 feel somewhat arbitrary, I also raised
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/13188 as the nightly
`byte_char_slices` would require either a global allow or otherwise a
ton of granular allows or possibly confusing bytestring literals.
- **Suggested default impl for the new `*Stack`s**
- **Change a hashmap to make clippy happy**
- **Clone from fix**
- **Fix conditional unused in test**
- then **Bump rust toolchain**
# Description
This PR adds a new method to `EngineInterface`: `register_ctrlc_handler`
which takes a closure to run when the plugin's driving engine receives a
ctrlc-signal. It also adds a mirror of the `signals` attribute from the
main shell `EngineState`.
This is an example of how a plugin which makes a long poll http request
can end the request on ctrlc:
https://github.com/cablehead/nu_plugin_http/blob/main/src/commands/request.rs#L68-L77
To facilitate the feature, a new attribute has been added to
`EngineState`: `ctrlc_handlers`. This is a Vec of closures that will be
run when the engine's process receives a ctrlc signal.
When plugins are added to an `engine_state` during a `merge_delta`, the
engine passes the ctrlc_handlers to the plugin's
`.configure_ctrlc_handler` method, which gives the plugin a chance to
register a handler that sends a ctrlc packet through the
`PluginInterface`, if an instance of the plugin is currently running.
On the plugin side: `EngineInterface` also has a ctrlc_handlers Vec of
closures. Plugin calls can use `register_ctrlc_handler` to register a
closure that will be called in the plugin process when the
PluginInput::Ctrlc command is received.
For future reference these are some alternate places that were
investigated for tying the ctrlc trigger to transmitting a Ctrlc packet
through the `PluginInterface`:
- Directly from `src/signals.rs`: the handler there would need a
reference to the Vec<Arc<RegisteredPlugins>>, which would require us to
wrap the plugins in a Mutex, which we don't want to do.
- have `PersistentPlugin.get_plugin` pass down the engine's
CtrlcHandlers to .get and then to .spawn (if the plugin isn't already
running). Once we have CtrlcHandlers in spawn, we can register a handler
to write directly to PluginInterface. We don't want to double down on
passing engine_state to spawn this way though, as it's unpredictable
because it would depend on whether the plugin has already been spawned
or not.
- pass `ctrlc_handlers` to PersistentPlugin::new so it can store it on
itself so it's available to spawn.
- in `PersistentPlugin.spawn`, create a handler that sends to a clone of
the GC event loop's tx. this has the same issues with regards to how to
get CtrlcHandlers to the spawn method, and is more complicated than a
handler that writes directly to PluginInterface

# Description
Seems like I developed a bit of a bad habit of trying to link
```rust
/// [`.foo()`]
```
in docstrings, and this just doesn't work automatically; you have to do
```rust
/// [`.foo()`](Self::foo)
```
if you want it to actually link. I think I found and replaced all of
these.
# User-Facing Changes
Just docs.
# Description
Fixes#13441.
I must have forgotten that `Expr::Range` can contain other expressions,
so I wasn't searching for `$in` to replace within it. Easy fix.
# User-Facing Changes
Bug fix, ranges like `6 | 3..$in` work as expected now.
# Tests + Formatting
Added regression test.
# Description
This corrects the parsing of unknown arguments provided to known
externals to behave exactly like external arguments passed to normal
external calls.
I've done this by adding a `SyntaxShape::ExternalArgument` which
triggers the same parsing rules.
Because I didn't like how the highlighting looked, I modified the
flattener to emit `ExternalArg` flat shapes for arguments that have that
syntax shape and are plain strings/globs. This is the same behavior that
external calls have.
Aside from passing the tests, I've also checked manually that the
completer seems to work adequately. I can confirm that specified
positional arguments get completion according to their specified type
(including custom completions), and then anything remaining gets
filepath style completion, as you'd expect from an external command.
Thanks to @OJarrisonn for originally finding this issue.
# User-Facing Changes
- Unknown args are now parsed according to their specified syntax shape,
rather than `Any`. This may be a breaking change, though I think it's
extremely unlikely in practice.
- The unspecified arguments of known externals are now highlighted /
flattened identically to normal external arguments, which makes it more
clear how they're being interpreted, and should help the completer
function properly.
- Known externals now have an implicit rest arg if not specified named
`args`, with a syntax shape of `ExternalArgument`.

# Description
Trying to help @amtoine out here - the spans calculated by `ast::Call`
by `span()` and `argument_span()` are suspicious and are not properly
guarding against `end` that might be before `start`. Just using
`Span::merge()` / `merge_many()` instead to try to make the behaviour as
simple and consistent as possible. Hopefully then even if the arguments
have some crazy spans, we don't have spans that are just totally
invalid.

# Description
Adds functionality to the plugin interface to support calling internal
commands from plugins. For example, using `view ir --json`:
```rust
let closure: Value = call.req(0)?;
let Some(decl_id) = engine.find_decl("view ir")? else {
return Err(LabeledError::new("`view ir` not found"));
};
let ir_json = engine.call_decl(
decl_id,
EvaluatedCall::new(call.head)
.with_named("json".into_spanned(call.head), Value::bool(true, call.head))
.with_positional(closure),
PipelineData::Empty,
true,
false,
)?.into_value()?.into_string()?;
let ir = serde_json::from_value(&ir_json);
// ...
```
# User-Facing Changes
Plugin developers can now use `EngineInterface::find_decl()` and
`call_decl()` to call internal commands, which could be handy for
formatters like `to csv` or `to nuon`, or for reflection commands that
help gain insight into the engine.

# Description
This grew quite a bit beyond its original scope, but I've tried to make
`$in` a bit more consistent and easier to work with.
Instead of the parser generating calls to `collect` and creating
closures, this adds `Expr::Collect` which just evaluates in the same
scope and doesn't require any closure.
When `$in` is detected in an expression, it is replaced with a new
variable (also called `$in`) and wrapped in `Expr::Collect`. During
eval, this expression is evaluated directly, with the input and with
that new variable set to the collected value.
Other than being faster and less prone to gotchas, it also makes it
possible to typecheck the output of an expression containing `$in`,
which is nice. This is a breaking change though, because of the lack of
the closure and because now typechecking will actually happen. Also, I
haven't attempted to typecheck the input yet.
The IR generated now just looks like this:
```gas
collect %in
clone %tmp, %in
store-variable $in, %tmp
# %out <- ...expression... <- %in
drop-variable $in
```
(where `$in` is the local variable created for this collection, and not
`IN_VARIABLE_ID`)
which is a lot better than having to create a closure and call `collect
--keep-env`, dealing with all of the capture gathering and allocation
that entails. Ideally we can also detect whether that input is actually
needed, so maybe we don't have to clone, but I haven't tried to do that
yet. Theoretically now that the variable is a unique one every time, it
should be possible to give it a type - I just don't know how to
determine that yet.
On top of that, I've also reworked how `$in` works in pipeline-initial
position. Previously, it was a little bit inconsistent. For example,
this worked:
```nushell
> 3 | do { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }
3
3
```
However, this causes a runtime variable not found error on the second
`$in`:
```nushell
> def foo [] { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }; 3 | foo
Error: nu:🐚:variable_not_found
× Variable not found
╭─[entry #115:1:35]
1 │ def foo [] { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }; 3 | foo
· ─┬─
· ╰── variable not found
╰────
```
I've fixed this by making the first element `$in` detection *always*
happen at the block level, so if you use `$in` in pipeline-initial
position anywhere in a block, it will collect with an implicit
subexpression around the whole thing, and you can then use that `$in`
more than once. In doing this I also rewrote `parse_pipeline()` and
hopefully it's a bit more straightforward and possibly more efficient
too now.
Finally, I've tried to make `let` and `mut` a lot more straightforward
with how they handle the rest of the pipeline, and using a redirection
with `let`/`mut` now does what you'd expect if you assume that they
consume the whole pipeline - the redirection is just processed as
normal. These both work now:
```nushell
let x = ^foo err> err.txt
let y = ^foo out+err>| str length
```
It was previously possible to accomplish this with a subexpression, but
it just seemed like a weird gotcha that you couldn't do it. Intuitively,
`let` and `mut` just seem to take the whole line.
- closes#13137
# User-Facing Changes
- `$in` will behave more consistently with blocks and closures, since
the entire block is now just wrapped to handle it if it appears in the
first pipeline element
- `$in` no longer creates a closure, so what can be done within an
expression containing `$in` is less restrictive
- `$in` containing expressions are now type checked, rather than just
resulting in `any`. However, `$in` itself is still `any`, so this isn't
quite perfect yet
- Redirections are now allowed in `let` and `mut` and behave pretty much
how you'd expect

# Description
The name of the `group` command is a little unclear/ambiguous.
Everything I look at it, I think of `group-by`. I think `chunks` more
clearly conveys what the `group` command does. Namely, it divides the
input list into chunks of a certain size. For example,
[`slice::chunks`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.slice.html#method.chunks)
has the same name. So, this PR adds a new `chunks` command to replace
the now deprecated `group` command.
The `chunks` command is a refactored version of `group`. As such, there
is a small performance improvement:
```nushell
# $data is a very large list
> bench { $data | chunks 2 } --rounds 30 | get mean
474ms 921µs 190ns
# deprecation warning was disabled here for fairness
> bench { $data | group 2 } --rounds 30 | get mean
592ms 702µs 440ns
> bench { $data | chunks 200 } --rounds 30 | get mean
374ms 188µs 318ns
> bench { $data | group 200 } --rounds 30 | get mean
481ms 264µs 869ns
> bench { $data | chunks 1 } --rounds 30 | get mean
642ms 574µs 42ns
> bench { $data | group 1 } --rounds 30 | get mean
981ms 602µs 513ns
```
# User-Facing Changes
- `group` command has been deprecated in favor of new `chunks` command.
- `chunks` errors when given a chunk size of `0` whereas `group` returns
chunks with one element.
# Tests + Formatting
Added tests for `chunks`, since `group` did not have any tests.

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
This adds tracing for each individual instruction to the `Debugger`
trait. Register contents can be inspected both when entering and leaving
an instruction, and if an instruction produced an error, a reference to
the error is also available. It's not the full `EvalContext` but it's
most of the important parts for getting an idea of what's going on.
Added support for all of this to the `Profiler` / `debug profile` as
well, and the output is quite incredible - super verbose, but you can
see every instruction that's executed and also what the result was if
it's an instruction that has a clearly defined output (many do).
# User-Facing Changes
- Added `--instructions` to `debug profile`, which adds the `pc` and
`instruction` columns to the output.
- `--expr` only works in AST mode, and `--instructions` only works in IR
mode. In the wrong mode, the output for those columns is just blank.

# 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

# Description
`Signature::get_positional()` was returning an owned `PositionalArg`,
which contains a bunch of strings. `ClosureEval` uses this in
`try_add_arg`, making all of that unnecessary cloning a little bit hot.
# User-Facing Changes
Slightly better performance
# Description
Just more efficient allocation during `Stack::gather_captures()` so that
we don't have to grow the `Vec` needlessly.
# User-Facing Changes
Slightly better performance.
# Description
This is another easy performance lift that just changes `env_vars` and
`env_hidden` on `Stack` to use `Arc`. I noticed that these were being
cloned on essentially every closure invocation during captures
gathering, so we're paying the cost for all of that even when we don't
change anything. On top of that, for `env_vars`, there's actually an
entirely fresh `HashMap` created for each child scope, so it's highly
unlikely that we'll modify the parent ones.
Uses `Arc::make_mut` instead to take care of things when we need to
mutate something, and most of the time nothing has to be cloned at all.
# Benchmarks
The benefits are greater the more calls there are to env-cloning
functions like `captures_to_stack()`. Calling custom commands in a loop
is basically best case for a performance improvement. Plain `each` with
a literal block isn't so badly affected because the stack is set up
once.

# User-Facing Changes
Better performance, particularly for custom commands, especially if
there are a lot of environment variables. Nothing else.
# 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

[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.
# After Submitting

- [ ] further documentation of instructions?
- [ ] post-release: publish `nu_plugin_explore_ir`
# 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
Refactors `help operators` so that its output is always up to date with
the parser.
# User-Facing Changes
- The order of output rows for `help operators` was changed.
- `not` is now listed as a boolean operator instead of a comparison
operator.
- Edited some of the descriptions for the operators.
# Description
Bug fix: `PipelineData::check_external_failed()` was not preserving the
original `type_` and `known_size` attributes of the stream passed in for
streams that come from children, so `external-command | into binary` did
not work properly and always ended up still being unknown type.
# User-Facing Changes
The following test case now works as expected:
```nushell
> head -c 2 /dev/urandom | into binary
# Expected: pretty hex dump of binary
# Previous behavior: just raw binary in the terminal

Added a test to cover this to `into binary`
This reverts commit 0cfd5fbece.

# Description
Provides the ability to use http commands as part of a pipeline.
Additionally, this pull requests extends the pipeline metadata to add a
content_type field. The content_type metadata field allows commands such
as `to json` to set the metadata in the pipeline allowing the http
commands to use it when making requests.
This pull request also introduces the ability to directly stream http
requests from streaming pipelines.
One other small change is that Content-Type will always be set if it is
passed in to the http commands, either indirectly or throw the content
type flag. Previously it was not preserved with requests that were not
of type json or form data.
# User-Facing Changes
* `http post`, `http put`, `http patch`, `http delete` can be used as
part of a pipeline
* `to text`, `to json`, `from json` all set the content_type metadata
field and the http commands will utilize them when making requests.
# Description
Fixes: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/12099
Currently if user run `use voice.nu`, and file is unchanged, then run
`use voice.nu` again. nushell will use the module directly, even if
submodule inside `voice.nu` is changed.
After discussed with @kubouch, I think it's ok to re-parse the module
file when:
1. It exports sub modules which are defined by a file
2. It uses other modules which are defined by a file
## About the change:
To achieve the behavior, we need to add 2 attributes to `Module`:
1. `imported_modules`: it tracks the other modules is imported by the
givem `module`, e.g: `use foo.nu`
2. `file`: the path of a module, if a module is defined by a file, it
will be `Some(path)`, or else it will be `None`.
After the change:
use voice.nu always read the file and parse it.
use voice will still use the module which is saved in EngineState.
# User-Facing Changes
use `xxx.nu` will read the file and parse it if it exports submodules or
uses submodules
# Tests + Formatting
Done

Fixesnushell/nushell#13207
# Description
This fixes the parsing of command usage when that command comes from a
file with CRLF line endings.
See nushell/nushell#13207 for more details.
# User-Facing Changes
Users on Windows will get correct autocompletion for `std` commands.
# Description
In #13031 I added the derive macros for `FromValue` and `IntoValue`. In
that implementation, in particular for structs with named fields, it was
not possible to omit fields while loading them from a value, when the
field is an `Option`. This PR adds extra handling for this behavior, so
if a field is an `Option` and that field is missing in the `Value`, then
the field becomes `None`. This behavior is also tested in
`nu_protocol::value::test_derive::missing_options`.
# User-Facing Changes
When using structs for options or similar, users can now just emit
fields in the record and the derive `from_value` method will be able to
understand this, if the struct has an `Option` type for that field.
# Tests + Formatting
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`
# After Submitting
A showcase for this feature would be great, I tried to use the current
derive macro in a plugin of mine for a config but without this addition,
they are annoying to use. So, when this is done, I would add an example
for such plugin configs that may be loaded via `FromValue`.
# Description
This allows plugins to report their version (and potentially other
metadata in the future). The version is shown in `plugin list` and in
`version`.
The metadata is stored in the registry file, and reflects whatever was
retrieved on `plugin add`, not necessarily the running binary. This can
help you to diagnose if there's some kind of mismatch with what you
expect. We could potentially use this functionality to show a warning or
error if a plugin being run does not have the same version as what was
in the cache file, suggesting `plugin add` be run again, but I haven't
done that at this point.
It is optional, and it requires the plugin author to make some code
changes if they want to provide it, since I can't automatically
determine the version of the calling crate or anything tricky like that
to do it.
Example:
```
> plugin list | select name version is_running pid
╭───┬────────────────┬─────────┬────────────┬─────╮
│ # │ name │ version │ is_running │ pid │
├───┼────────────────┼─────────┼────────────┼─────┤

# Description
This PR adds a directory to the `$nu` constant that shows where the
system level autoload directory is located at. This folder is modifiable
at compile time with environment variables.
```rust
// Create a system level directory for nushell scripts, modules, completions, etc
// that can be changed by setting the NU_VENDOR_AUTOLOAD_DIR env var on any platform
// before nushell is compiled OR if NU_VENDOR_AUTOLOAD_DIR is not set for non-windows
// systems, the PREFIX env var can be set before compile and used as PREFIX/nushell/vendor/autoload
// pseudo code
// if env var NU_VENDOR_AUTOLOAD_DIR is set, in any platform, use it
// if not, if windows, use ALLUSERPROFILE\nushell\vendor\autoload
// if not, if non-windows, if env var PREFIX is set, use PREFIX/share/nushell/vendor/autoload
// if not, use the default /usr/share/nushell/vendor/autoload
```
### Windows default
```nushell
❯ $nu.vendor-autoload-dir
C:\ProgramData\nushell\vendor\autoload
```
### Non-Windows default
```nushell
❯ $nu.vendor-autoload-dir
/usr/local/share/nushell/vendor/autoload
```
### Non-Windows with PREFIX set
```nushell
❯ PREFIX=/usr/bob cargo r
❯ $nu.vendor-autoload-dir
/usr/bob/share/nushell/vendor/autoload
```
### Non-Windows with NU_VENDOR_AUTOLOAD_DIR set
```nushell
❯ NU_VENDOR_AUTOLOAD_DIR=/some/other/path/nushell/stuff cargo r
❯ $nu.vendor-autoload-dir
/some/other/path/nushell/stuff
```
> [!IMPORTANT]
To be clear, this PR does not do the auto-loading, it just sets up the
folder to support that functionality that can be added in a later PR.
The PR also does not create the folder defined. It's just setting the
$nu constant.

# Description
We've had a lot of different issues and PRs related to arg handling with
externals since the rewrite of `run-external` in #12921:
- #12950
- #12955
- #13000
- #13001
- #13021
- #13027
- #13028
- #13073
Many of these are caused by the argument handling of external calls and
`run-external` being very special and involving the parser handing
quoted strings over to `run-external` so that it knows whether to expand
tildes and globs and so on. This is really unusual and also makes it
harder to use `run-external`, and also harder to understand it (and
probably is part of the reason why it was rewritten in the first place).
This PR moves a lot more of that work over to the parser, so that by the
time `run-external` gets it, it's dealing with much more normal Nushell
values. In particular:
- Unquoted strings are handled as globs with no expand
- The unescaped-but-quoted handling of strings was removed, and the
parser constructs normal looking strings instead, removing internal
quotes so that `run-external` doesn't have to do it
- Bare word interpolation is now supported and expansion is done in this
case
- Expressions typed as `Glob` containing `Expr::StringInterpolation` now
produce `Value::Glob` instead, with the quoted status from the expr
passed through so we know if it was a bare word
- Bare word interpolation for values typed as `glob` now possible, but
not implemented
- Because expansion is now triggered by `Value::Glob(_, false)` instead
of looking at the expr, externals now support glob types
# User-Facing Changes
- Bare word interpolation works for external command options, and
otherwise embedded in other strings:
```nushell
^echo --foo=(2 + 2) # prints --foo=4
^echo -foo=$"(2 + 2)" # prints -foo=4
^echo foo="(2 + 2)" # prints (no interpolation!) foo=(2 + 2)
^echo foo,(2 + 2),bar # prints foo,4,bar
```
- Bare word interpolation expands for external command head/args:
```nushell
let name = "exa"
~/.cargo/bin/($name) # this works, and expands the tilde
^$"~/.cargo/bin/($name)" # this doesn't expand the tilde
^echo ~/($name)/* # this glob is expanded
^echo $"~/($name)/*" # this isn't expanded
```
- Ndots are now supported for the head of an external command
(`^.../foo` works)
- Glob values are now supported for head/args of an external command,
and expanded appropriately:
```nushell
^("~/.cargo/bin/exa" | into glob) # the tilde is expanded
^echo ("*.txt" | into glob) # this glob is expanded
```
- `run-external` now works more like any other command, without
expecting a special call convention
for its args:
```nushell
run-external echo "'foo'"
# before PR: 'foo'
# after PR: foo
run-external echo "*.txt"
# before PR: (glob is expanded)
# after PR: *.txt
```
# Tests + Formatting
Lots of tests added and cleaned up. Some tests that weren't active on
Windows changed to use `nu --testbin cococo` so that they can work.
Added a test for Linux only to make sure tilde expansion of commands
works, because changing `HOME` there causes `~` to reliably change.

# Description
After discussing with @sholderbach the cumbersome usage of
`nu_protocol::Value` in Rust, I created a derive macro to simplify it.
I’ve added a new crate called `nu-derive-value`, which includes two
macros, `IntoValue` and `FromValue`. These are re-exported in
`nu-protocol` and should be encouraged to be used via that re-export.
The macros ensure that all types can easily convert from and into
`Value`. For example, as a plugin author, you can define your plugin
configuration using a Rust struct and easily convert it using
`FromValue`. This makes plugin configuration less of a hassle.
I introduced the `IntoValue` trait for a standardized approach to
converting values into `Value` (and a fallible variant `TryIntoValue`).
This trait could potentially replace existing `into_value` methods.
Along with this, I've implemented `FromValue` for several standard types
and refined other implementations to use blanket implementations where
applicable.
I made these design choices with input from @devyn.
There are more improvements possible, but this is a solid start and the
PR is already quite substantial.
# User-Facing Changes
For `nu-protocol` users, these changes simplify the handling of
`Value`s. There are no changes for end-users of nushell itself.
# Tests + Formatting
Documenting the macros itself is not really possible, as they cannot
really reference any other types since they are the root of the
dependency graph. The standard library has the same problem
([std::Debug](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/fmt/derive.Debug.html)).
However I documented the `FromValue` and `IntoValue` traits completely.
For testing, I made of use `proc-macro2` in the derive macro code. This
would allow testing the generated source code. Instead I just tested
that the derived functionality is correct. This is done in
`nu_protocol::value::test_derive`, as a consumer of `nu-derive-value`
needs to do the testing of the macro usage. I think that these tests
should provide a stable baseline so that users can be sure that the impl
works.
# After Submitting
With these macros available, we can probably use them in some examples
for plugins to showcase the use of them.
# Description
This PR is an attempt to add a standard location for people to put
completions in. I saw this topic come up again recently and IIRC we
decided to create a standard location. I used the dirs-next crate to
dictate where these locations are. I know some people won't like that
but at least this gets the ball rolling in a direction that has a
standard directory.
This is what the default NU_LIB_DIRS looks like now in the
default_env.nu. It should also be like this when starting nushell with
`nu -n`
```nushell
$env.NU_LIB_DIRS = [
($nu.default-config-dir | path join 'scripts') # add <nushell-config-dir>/scripts
($nu.data-dir | path join 'completions') # default home for nushell completions
]
```
I also added these default folders to the `$nu` variable so now there is
`$nu.data-path` and `$nu.cache-path`.
## Data Dir Default
While I was in there, I also decided to add a cache dir
## Cache Dir Default
### This is what the default looks like in Ubuntu.
### This is what it looks like with XDG_CACHE_HOME and XDG_DATA_HOME
overridden
```nushell
XDG_DATA_HOME=/tmp/data_home XDG_CACHE_HOME=/tmp/cache_home cargo r
```
### This is what the defaults look like in Windows (username scrubbed to
protect the innocent)
How my NU_LIB_DIRS is set in the images above
```nushell
$env.NU_LIB_DIRS = [
($nu.default-config-dir | path join 'scripts') # add <nushell-config-dir>/scripts
'/Users/fdncred/src/nu_scripts'
($nu.config-path | path dirname)
($nu.data-dir | path join 'completions') # default home for nushell completions
]
```
Let the debate begin.

# Description
#7777 removed the `--numbered` flag from `each`, `par-each`, `reduce`,
and `each while`. It was suggested at the time that it should be removed
from `for` as well, but for several reasons it wasn't.
This PR deprecates `--numbered` in anticipation of removing it in 0.96.
Note: Please review carefully, as this is my first "real" Rust/Nushell
code. I was hoping that some prior commit would be useful as a template,
but since this was an argument on a parser keyword, I didn't find too
much useful. So I had to actually find the relevant helpers in the code
and `nu_protocol` doc and learn how to use them - oh darn ;-) But please
make sure I did it correctly.
# User-Facing Changes
* Use of `--numbered` will result in a deprecation warning.
* Changed help example to demonstrate the new syntax.
* Help shows deprecation notice on the flag

Part of https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/12963, step 2.
This PR refactors changes the use of `expression.span` to
`expression.span_id` via a new helper `Expression::span()`. A new
`GetSpan` is added to abstract getting the span from both `EngineState`
and `StateWorkingSet`.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
`format pattern` loses the ability to use variables in the pattern,
e.g., `... | format pattern 'value of {$it.name} is {$it.value}'`. This
is because the command did a custom parse-eval cycle, creating spans
that are not merged into the main engine state. We could clone the
engine state, add Clone trait to StateDelta and merge the cloned delta
to the cloned state, but IMO there is not much value from having this
ability, since we have string interpolation nowadays: `... | $"value of
($in.name) is ($in.value)"`.
# 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` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `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))
- `cargo run -- -c "use toolkit.nu; toolkit test stdlib"` to run the
tests for the standard library
> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```
