# Description * I was dismayed to discover recently that UnsupportedInput and TypeMismatch are used *extremely* inconsistently across the codebase. UnsupportedInput is sometimes used for input type-checks (as per the name!!), but *also* used for argument type-checks. TypeMismatch is also used for both. I thus devised the following standard: input type-checking *only* uses UnsupportedInput, and argument type-checking *only* uses TypeMismatch. Moreover, to differentiate them, UnsupportedInput now has *two* error arrows (spans), one pointing at the command and the other at the input origin, while TypeMismatch only has the one (because the command should always be nearby) * In order to apply that standard, a very large number of UnsupportedInput uses were changed so that the input's span could be retrieved and delivered to it. * Additionally, I noticed many places where **errors are not propagated correctly**: there are lots of `match` sites which take a Value::Error, then throw it away and replace it with a new Value::Error with less/misleading information (such as reporting the error as an "incorrect type"). I believe that the earliest errors are the most important, and should always be propagated where possible. * Also, to standardise one broad subset of UnsupportedInput error messages, who all used slightly different wordings of "expected `<type>`, got `<type>`", I created OnlySupportsThisInputType as a variant of it. * Finally, a bunch of error sites that had "repeated spans" - i.e. where an error expected two spans, but `call.head` was given for both - were fixed to use different spans. # Example BEFORE ``` 〉20b | str starts-with 'a' Error: nu:🐚:unsupported_input (link) × Unsupported input ╭─[entry #31:1:1] 1 │ 20b | str starts-with 'a' · ┬ · ╰── Input's type is filesize.

Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands: - `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo fmt --all` applies these changes) - `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code style - `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass # After Submitting If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date. |

nu-protocol
The nu-protocol crate holds the definitions of structs/traits that are used throughout Nushell. This gives us one way to expose them to many other crates, as well as make these definitions available to each other, without causing mutually recursive dependencies.
