It turns out that my previous PR, https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/11999, didn't properly canonicalize `$nu.default-config-dir` in a scenario where `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` (or the equivalent on each platform) was a symlink. To remedy that, this PR makes `nu_path::config_dir()` return a canonicalized path. This probably shouldn't break anything (except maybe tests relying on the old behavior), since the canonical path will be equivalent to non-canonical paths. # User-Facing Changes A user may get a path with symlinks resolved and `..`s replaced where they previously didn't. I'm not sure where this would happen, though, and anyway, the canonical path is probably the "correct" thing to present to the user. We're using `omnipath` to make the path presentable to the user on Windows, so there's no danger of someone getting an path with `\\?` there. # Tests + Formatting The tests for config files have been updated to run the binary using the `Director` so that it has access to the `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`/`HOME` environment variables to be able to change the config directory.
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.
