This adds support for (limited) mutable variables. Mutable variables are created with mut much the same way immutable variables are made with let.
Mutable variables allow mutation via the assignment operator (=).
❯ mut x = 100
❯ $x = 200
❯ print $x
200
Mutable variables are limited in that they're only tended to be used in the local code block. Trying to capture a local variable will result in an error:
❯ mut x = 123; {|| $x }
Error: nu::parser::expected_keyword (link)
× Capture of mutable variable.
The intent of this limitation is to reduce some of the issues with mutable variables in general: namely they make code that's harder to reason about. By reducing the scope that a mutable variable can be used it, we can help create local reasoning about them.
Mutation can occur with fields as well, as in this case:
❯ mut y = {abc: 123}
❯ $y.abc = 456
❯ $y
On a historical note: mutable variables are something that we resisted for quite a long time, leaning as much as we could on the functional style of pipelines and dataflow. That said, we've watched folks struggle to work with reduce as an approximation for patterns that would be trivial to express with local mutation. With that in mind, we're leaning towards the happy path.
* Add failing test that list of ints and floats is List<Number>
* Start defining subtype relation
* Make it possible to declare input and output types for commands
- Enforce them in tests
* Declare input and output types of commands
* Add formatted signatures to `help commands` table
* Revert SyntaxShape::Table -> Type::Table change
* Revert unnecessary derive(Hash) on SyntaxShape

* add new function to remove data at a cellpath; allow reject to use cellpath
* add tests
* fmt
* fix clippt
* get it working properly with lists of records
* fix clippy, hopefully
* fix clippy, hopefully 2
* Add decimals to int when using `into string --decimals`
* Add tests for `into string` when converting int with `--decimals`
* Apply formatting
* Merge `into_str` test files
* Comment out unused code and add TODOs
* Use decimal separator depending on system locale
* Add test helper to run closure in different locale
* Add tests for int-to-string conversion using different locales
* Add utils function to get system locale
* Add panic message when locking mutex fails
* Catch and resume panic later to prevent Mutex poisoning when test fails
* Move test to `nu-test-support` to keep `nu-utils` free of `nu-*` dependencies
See https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/6085#issuecomment-1193131694
* Rename test support fn `with_fake_locale` to `with_locale_override`
* Move `get_system_locale()` to `locale` module
* Allow overriding locale with special env variable (when not in release)
* Use special env var to override locale during testing
* Allow callback to return a value in `with_locale_override()`
* Allow multiple options in `nu!` macro
* Allow to set locale as `nu!` macro option
* Use new `locale` option of `nu!` macro instead of `with_locale_override`
Using the `locale` options does not lock the `LOCALE_OVERRIDE_MUTEX`
mutex in `nu-test-support::locale_override` but instead calls the `nu`
command directly with the `NU_LOCALE_OVERRIDE` environment variable.
This allows for parallel test excecution.
* Fix: Add option identifier for `cwd` in usage of `nu!` macro
* Rely on `Display` trait for formatting `nu!` macro command
- Removed the `DisplayPath` trait
- Implement `Display` for `AbsolutePath`, `RelativePath` and
`AbsoluteFile`
* Default to locale `en_US.UTF-8` for tests when using `nu!` macro
* Add doc comment to `nu!` macro
* Format code using `cargo fmt --all`
* Pass function directly instead of wrapping the call in a closure
https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#redundant_closure
* Pass function to `or_else()` instead of calling it inside `or()`
https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#or_fun_call
* Fix: Add option identifier for `cwd` in usage of `nu!` macro
* expand durations to include month, year, decade
* remove commented out fn
* oops, found more debug comments
* tweaked tests for the new way, borrowed heavily from chrono-humanize-rs
* clippy

* feat: deprecate `hash base64` command
* feat: extend `decode` and `encode` command families
This commit
- Adds `encode` command family
- Backports `hash base64` features to `encode base64` and `decode base64` subcommands.
- Refactors code a bit and extends tests for encodings
- `decode base64` returns a binary `Value` (that may be decoded into a string using `decode` command)
* feat: add `--binary(-b)` flag to `decode base64`
Default output type is now string, but binary can be requested using this new flag.
* attempts to add `div` math operator
* allows `//` to be used too
* fmt:
* clippy issue
* returns appropriate type
* returns appropriate type 2
* fmt
* ensure consistency; rename to `fdiv`
* Update parser.rs
