# Description Instead of an empty string, this PR changes `path type` to return null if the path does not exist. If some other IO error is encountered, then that error is bubbled up instead of treating it as a "not found" case. # User-Facing Changes - `path type` will now return null instead of an empty string, which is technically a breaking change. In most cases though, I think this shouldn't affect the behavior of scripts too much. - `path type` can now error instead of returning an empty string if some other IO error besides a "not found" error occurs. Since this PR introduces breaking changes, it should be merged after the 0.94.1 patch.
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
