# Description
The standard library's `path add` function has some surprising side
effects that I attempt to address in this PR:
1. Paths added, if they are symbolic links, should not be resolved to
their targets. Currently, resolution happens.
Imagine the following:
```nu
# Some time earlier, perhaps even not by the user, a symlink is created
mkdir real-dir
ln -s real-dir link-dir
# Then, step to now, with link-dir that we want in our PATHS variable
use std
path add link-dir
```
In the current implementation of `path add`, it is _not_ `link-dir` that
will be added, as has been stated in the command. It is instead
`real-dir`. This is surprising. Users have the agency to do this
resolution if they wish with `path expand` (sans a `--no-symlink` flag):
for example, `path add (link-dir | path expand)`
In particular, when I was trying to set up
[fnm](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm), a Node.js version manager, I was
bitten by this fact when `fnm` told me that an expected path had not
been added to the PATHS variable. It was looking for the non-resolved
link. The user in [this
comment](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm/issues/463#issuecomment-1710050737)
was likely affected by this too.
Shells, such as nushell, can handle path symlinks just fine. Binary
lookup is unaffected. Let resolution be opt-in.
Lastly, there is some convention already in place for **not** resolving
path symlinks in the [default $env.ENV_CONVERSIONS
table](57452337ff/crates/nu-utils/src/sample_config/default_env.nu (L65)
).
2. All existing paths in the path variable should be left untouched.
Currently, they are `path expand`-ed (including symbolic link
resolution).
Path add should mean just that: prepend/append this path.
Instead, it currently means that, _plus mutate all other paths in the
variable_.
Again, users have the agency to do this with something like `$env.PATH =
$env.PATH | split row (char esep) | path expand`.
3. Minorly, I update documentation on running tests in
`crates/nu-std/CONTRIBUTING.md`. The offered command to run the standard
library test suite was no longer functional. Thanks to @weirdan in [this
Discord
conversation](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/614593951969574961/1256029201119576147)
for the context.
# User-Facing Changes
(Written from the perspective of release notes)
- The standard library's `path add` function no longer resolves symlinks
in either the newly added paths, nor the other paths already in the
variable.
# Tests + Formatting
A test for the changes working correctly has been added to
`crates/nu-std/tests/test_std.nu` under the test named
`path_add_expand`.
You can quickly verify this new test and the existing `path add` test
with the following command:
```nu
cargo run -- -c 'use crates/nu-std/testing.nu; NU_LOG_LEVEL=INFO testing run-tests --path crates/nu-std --test path_add'
```
All commands suggested in the issue template have been run and complete
without error.
# After Submitting
I'll add a release note to [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged.
