# Description

Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing

In this PR I continued the idea of #11494, it added an `auto` option to
the ansi coloring config option, I did this too but in a more simple
approach.
So I added a new enum `UseAnsiColoring` with the three values `True`,
`False` and `Auto`. When that value is set to `auto`, the default value,
it will use `std::io::stdout().is_terminal()` to decided whether to use
ansi coloring. This allows to dynamically decide whether to print ansi
color codes or not, [cargo does it the same
way](652623b779/src/bin/cargo/main.rs (L72)
).
`True` and `False` act as overrides to the `is_terminal` check. So with
that PR it is possible to force ansi colors on the `table` command or
automatically remove them from the miette errors if no terminal is used.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
Terminal users shouldn't be affected by this change as the default value
was `true` and `is_terminal` returns for terminals `true` (duh).
Non-terminal users, that use `nu` in some embedded way or the engine
implemented in some other way (like my jupyter kernel) will now have by
default no ansi coloring and need to enable it manually if their
environment allows it.
# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
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` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use toolkit.nu; toolkit test stdlib"` to run the
tests for the standard library
> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```
-->
The test for fancy errors expected ansi codes, since tests aren't run
"in terminal", the ansi codes got stripped away.
I added a line that forced ansi colors above it. I'm not sure if that
should be the case or if we should test against no ansi colors.
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`
# 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.

This should resolve #11464 and partially #11847. This also closes
#11494.
Nushell configuration files
default_env.nu
:
- The internal default environment variables (other than
$env.config
) that will be set during Nushell startup. - Is loaded before the user's
env.nu
. - Will be loaded during any startup where the user's
env.nu
is also loaded. For example:- During normal startup with
nu
- During a startup where the user specifies an alternative
env.nu
vianu --env-config <path>
- During a
nu -c <commandstring>
ornu <script>
startup so thatENV_CONVERSIONS
is properly handled for Windows.
- During normal startup with
- Is not loaded when running with an explicit
no --no-config-file (-n)
. - Is not commented - Comments are in
doc_env.nu
. - Should be optimized for fastest load times.
- Can be introspected via
config env --default | nu-highlight
default_config.nu
:
Counterpart to default_env.nu
.
- Contains any
$env.config
values that are not set via Rust defaults. - Is loaded after the user's
env.nu
. - Is loaded before the user's
config.nu
. - Will be loaded during any startup where the user's
config.nu
is also loaded. For example:- During normal startup with
nu
- During a startup where the user specifies an alternative
config.nu
vianu --config <path>
- During normal startup with
- Likewise, is never loaded during a startup where the user's
config.nu
would not be loaded. For example:nu -n/--no-config
nu -c "ls"
nu <script.nu>
- Is not commented - Comments are in
doc_config.nu
. - Should be optimized for fastest load times. Whenever possible, values should be set via nu-protocol::config
- Exception:
color_config
values are currently set in this file so that user's can introspect the values - TODO: Implement defaults for
color_config
in nu-protocol::config and remove fromdefault_config.nu
- Exception:
- Can be introspected via
config nu --default | nu-highlight
- An ideal
default_config.nu
(when all values are set vianu-protocol::config
) will simply be:$env.config = {}
doc_env.nu
- A commented file documenting the most common environment variables that a user might configure in
env.nu
- For convenient in-shell access - Can be pretty-printed via
config env --doc | nu-highlight
- Since this file is for documentation only, include actual Nushell code without comments so that it can be pretty-printed
- No optimization necessary - Not intended for use other than documentation.
- Consider replacing
config env --doc
withhelp env.nu
at some point. - Uses a mix of default values (explained) as well as other examples that users might want in their own
env.nu

scaffold_env.nu
- This file is used one-time (typically) at first startup
- If the

directory does not exist, the directory is created and then bothscaffold_env.nu
andscaffold_config.nu
are written to it - Contains only commented lines explaining the purpose of the file to the user, along with information on the
config env
command.
