# Description Closes #15848. Currently, we expand unquoted strings to absolute paths if they are of type `path` or `directory`. This PR makes this no longer happen. `~`, `.`, and `..+` are still expanded, but a path like `.../foo/bar/..` will only be turned into `../../foo`, rather than a full absolute path. This is mostly so that paths don't get modified before being sent to known external commands (as in the linked issue). But also, it seems unnecessary to make all unquoted paths absolute. After feedback from @132ikl, this PR also makes it so that unquoted paths are expanded at parse time, so that it matches the runtime behavior. Previously, `path` expressions were turned into strings verbatim, while `directory` expressions were treated as not being const. API change: `nu_path::expansions::expand_path` is now exposed as `nu_path::expand_path`. # User-Facing Changes This has the potential to silently break a lot of scripts. For example, if someone has a command that expects an already-expanded absolute path, changes the current working directory, and then passes the path somewhere, they will now need to use `path expand` to expand the path themselves before changing the current working directory. # Tests + Formatting Just added one test to make sure unquoted `path` arguments aren't made absolute. # After Submitting This is a breaking change, so will need to be mentioned in the release notes.
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.
