# Description
Our config exists both as a `Config` struct for internal consumption and
as a `Value`. The latter is exposed through `$env.config` and can be
both set and read.
Thus we have a complex bug-prone mechanism, that reads a `Value` and
then tries to plug anything where the value is unrepresentable in
`Config` with the correct state from `Config`.
The parsing involves therefore mutation of the `Value` in a nested
`Record` structure. Previously this was wholy done manually, with
indices.
To enable deletion for example, things had to be iterated over from the
back. Also things were indexed in a bunch of places. This was hard to
read and an invitation for bugs.
With #10876 we can now use `Record::retain_mut` to traverse the records,
modify anything that needs fixing, and drop invalid fields.
# Parts:
- Error messages now consistently use the correct spans pointing to the
problematic value and the paths displayed in some messages are also
aligned with the keys used for lookup.
- Reconstruction of values has been fixed for:
- `table.padding`
- `buffer_editor`
- `hooks.command_not_found`
- `datetime_format` (partial solution)
- Fix validation of `table.padding` input so value is not set (and
underflows `usize` causing `table` to run forever with negative values)
- New proper types for settings. Fully validated enums instead of
strings:
- `config.edit_mode` -> `EditMode`
- Don't fall back to vi-mode on invalid string
- `config.table.mode` -> `TableMode`
- there is still a fall back to `rounded` if given an invalid
`TableMode` as argument to the `nu` binary
- `config.completions.algorithm` -> `CompletionAlgorithm`
- `config.error_style` -> `ErrorStyle`
- don't implicitly fall back to `fancy` when given an invalid value.
- This should also shrink the size of `Config` as instead of 4x24 bytes
those fields now need only 4x1 bytes in `Config`
- Completely removed macros relying on the scope of `Value::into_config`
so we can break it up into smaller parts in the future.
- Factored everything into smaller files with the types and helpers for
particular topics.
- `NuCursorShape` now explicitly expresses the `Inherit` setting.
conversion to option only happens at the interface to `reedline`
- Hopefully closes#10120
# Description
This PR adds a new config item, `error_style`. It will render errors in
a screen reader friendly mode when set to `"simple"`. This is done using
`miette`'s own `NarratableReportHandler`, which seamlessly replaces the
default one when needed.
Before:
```
Error: nu:🐚:external_command
× External command failed
╭─[entry #2:1:1]
1 │ doesnt exist
· ───┬──
· ╰── executable was not found
╰────
help: No such file or directory (os error 2)
```
After:
```
Error: External command failed
Diagnostic severity: error
Begin snippet for entry #4 starting at line 1, column 1
snippet line 1: doesnt exist
label at line 1, columns 1 to 6: executable was not found
diagnostic help: No such file or directory (os error 2)
diagnostic code: nu:🐚:external_command
```
## Things to be determined
- ~Review naming. `errors.style` is not _that_ consistent with the rest
of the code. Menus use a `style` record, but table rendering mode is set
via `mode`.~ As it's a single config, we're using `error_style` for now.
- Should this kind of setting be toggable with one single parameter?
`accessibility.no_decorations` or similar, which would adjust the style
of both errors and tables accordingly.
# User-Facing Changes
No changes by default, errors will be rendered differently if
`error_style` is set to `simple`.
# 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

- `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 std testing; testing run-tests --path
crates/nu-std"` to run the tests for the standard library

# After Submitting
There's a PR updating the docs over here
https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io/pull/1026
now nu_std only depends on nu_parser, nu_protocol and miette
and removes the nu_cli dependency
this enables developers moving forward to come along and implement their
own CLI's without having to pull in a redundant nu-cli which will not be
needed for them.
I did this by moving report_error into nu_protocol
which nu_std already has a dependency on anyway....

* (WIP) Initial messy support for hooks as strings
* Cleanup after running condition & hook code
Also, remove prints
* Move env hooks eval into its own function
* Add env change hooks to simulator
* Fix hooks simulator not running env hooks properly
* Add missing hooks test file
* Expand hooks tests
* Add blocks as env hooks; Preserve hook environment
* Add full eval to pre prompt/exec hooks; Fix panic
* Rename env change hook back to orig. name
* Print err on test failure; Add list of hooks test
* Consolidate condition block; Fix panic; Misc
* CHange test to use real file
* Remove unused stuff
* Fix potential panics; Clean up errors
* Remove commented unused code
* Clippy: Fix extra references
* Add back support for old-style hooks
* Reorder functions; Fmt
* Fix test on Windows
* Add more test cases; Simplify some error reporting
* Add more tests for setting correct before/after
* Move pre_prompt hook to the beginning
Since we don't have a prompt or blocking on user input, all hooks just
follow after each other.
* Change miette theme based on ANSI config
Use the base ansi colors to simplify the use of the terminal emulator
theming.
Turn of most eye-candy (including unicode) when using
`$config.use_ansi_coloring: false`
Addresses #5582
* Fix error test affected by changed styling
