Devyn Cairns 1f4131532d Deprecate register and add plugin use (#12607) ... # Description Adds a new keyword, `plugin use`. Unlike `register`, this merely loads the signatures from the plugin cache file. The file is configurable with the `--plugin-config` option either to `nu` or to `plugin use` itself, just like the other `plugin` family of commands. At the REPL, one might do this to replace `register`: ```nushell > plugin add ~/.cargo/bin/nu_plugin_foo > plugin use foo ``` This will not work in a script, because `plugin use` is a keyword and `plugin add` does not evaluate at parse time (intentionally). This means we no longer run random binaries during parse. The `--plugins` option has been added to allow running `nu` with certain plugins in one step. This is used especially for the `nu_with_plugins!` test macro, but I'd imagine is generally useful. The only weird quirk is that it has to be a list, and we don't really do this for any of our other CLI args at the moment. `register` now prints a deprecation parse warning. This should fix #11923, as we now have a complete alternative to `register`. # User-Facing Changes - Add `plugin use` command - Deprecate `register` - Add `--plugins` option to `nu` to replace a common use of `register` # Tests + Formatting I think I've tested it thoroughly enough and every existing test passes. Testing nu CLI options and alternate config files is a little hairy and I wish there were some more generic helpers for this, so this will go on my TODO list for refactoring. - 🟢 `toolkit fmt` - 🟢 `toolkit clippy` - 🟢 `toolkit test` - 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib` # After Submitting - [ ] Update plugins sections of book - [ ] Release notes		2024-04-23 06:37:50 -05:00
