Given we can write nu scripts. As the codebase grows, splitting into many smaller nu scripts is necessary.
In general, when we work with paths and files we seem to face quite a few difficulties. Here we just tackle one of them and it involves sourcing
files that also source other nu files and so forth. The current working directory becomes important here and being on a different directory
when sourcing scripts will not work. Mostly because we expand the path on the current working directory and parse the files when a source command
call is done.
For the moment, we introduce a `lib_dirs` configuration value and, unfortunately, introduce a new dependency in `nu-parser` (`nu-data`) to get
a handle of the configuration file to retrieve it. This should give clues and ideas as the new parser engine continues (introduce a way to also know paths)
With this PR we can do the following:
Let's assume we want to write a nu library called `my_library`. We will have the code in a directory called `project`: The file structure will looks like this:
```
project/my_library.nu
project/my_library/hello.nu
project/my_library/name.nu
```
This "pattern" works well, that is, when creating a library have a directory named `my_library` and next to it a `my_library.nu` file. Filling them like this:
```
source my_library/hello.nu
source my_library/name.nu
```
```
def hello [] {
"hello world"
}
```
```
def name [] {
"Nu"
end
```
Assuming this `project` directory is stored at `/path/to/lib/project`, we can do:
```
config set lib_dirs ['path/to/lib/project']
```
Given we have this `lib_dirs` configuration value, we can be anywhere while using Nu and do the following:
```
source my_library.nu
echo (hello) (name)
```
* Allow sourcing paths with emojis
* Add source command tests for emoji paths
* Fmt
* Disable source tests on Windows with illegal paths
* Test sourcing also ASCII and single-quoted paths
Some environment variables, such as `RUST_LOG` include equals signs. Nushell
should support this in the shorthand environment variable syntax so that
developers using these variables can control them easily. We accomplish this by
swapping `std::str::split` for `std::str::splitn`, which ensures that we only
consider the first equals sign in the string instead of all of them, which we
did previously.
Closes#3867
In Nu we have variables (E.g. $var-name) and these contain `Value` types.
This means we can bind to variables any structured data and column path syntax
(E.g. `$variable.path.to`) allows flexibility for "querying" said structures.
Here we offer completions for these. For example, in a Nushell session the
variable `$nu` contains environment values among other things. If we wanted to
see in the screen some environment variable (say the var `SHELL`) we do:
```
> echo $nu.env.SHELL
```
with completions we can now do: `echo $nu.env.S[\TAB]` and we get suggestions
that start at the column path `$nu.env` with vars starting with the letter `S`
in this case `SHELL` appears in the suggestions.
* Fix parser expanding dots where it shouldn't
Previously, the parser would expand "a...b" as "a../..b". Now, >2 dots
are only expanded when the whole path component consists of dots (i.e.,
"..." expands to "../.." while "a...b" stays as it is).
* Respect OS separator when expanding >2 dots
"..." now expands to either "../.." or "..\..", based on the host OS.
Not all lite command's first part denotes a real command (for cases like sub commands that it's second lite part accounts for the command name). This is important so that we can refer to it's span correctly. Here we fix to include the command's name span correctly whether it's a command or sub command when reporting missing flag errors.
