Add tests for ~tilde expansion:
- test that "~" is expanded (no more "~" in output)
- ensure that "1~1" is not expanded to "1/home/user1" as it was
before
Fixes#972
Note: the first test does not check the literal expansion because
the path on Windows is expanded as a Linux path, but the correct
expansion may come for free once `shellexpand` will use the `dirs`
crate too (https://github.com/netvl/shellexpand/issues/3).
This commit contains two improvements:
- Support for a Range syntax (and a corresponding Range value)
- Work towards a signature syntax
Implementing the Range syntax resulted in cleaning up how operators in
the core syntax works. There are now two kinds of infix operators
- tight operators (`.` and `..`)
- loose operators
Tight operators may not be interspersed (`$it.left..$it.right` is a
syntax error). Loose operators require whitespace on both sides of the
operator, and can be arbitrarily interspersed. Precedence is left to
right in the core syntax.
Note that delimited syntax (like `( ... )` or `[ ... ]`) is a single
token node in the core syntax. A single token node can be parsed from
beginning to end in a context-free manner.
The rule for `.` is `<token node>.<member>`. The rule for `..` is
`<token node>..<token node>`.
Loose operators all have the same syntactic rule: `<token
node><space><loose op><space><token node>`.
The second aspect of this pull request is the beginning of support for a
signature syntax. Before implementing signatures, a necessary
prerequisite is for the core syntax to support multi-line programs.
That work establishes a few things:
- `;` and newlines are handled in the core grammar, and both count as
"separators"
- line comments begin with `#` and continue until the end of the line
In this commit, multi-token productions in the core grammar can use
separators interchangably with spaces. However, I think we will
ultimately want a different rule preventing separators from occurring
before an infix operator, so that the end of a line is always
unambiguous. This would avoid gratuitous differences between modules and
repl usage.
We already effectively have this rule, because otherwise `x<newline> |
y` would be a single pipeline, but of course that wouldn't work.
`left =~ right` return true if left contains right, using Rust's
`String::contains`. `!~` is the negated version.
A new `apply_operator` function is added which decouples evaluation from
`Value::compare`. This returns a `Value` and opens the door to
implementing `+` for example, though it wouldn't be useful immediately.
The `operator!` macro had to be changed slightly as it would choke on
`~` in arguments.
After the previous commit, nushell uses PrettyDebug and
PrettyDebugWithSource for our pretty-printed display output.
PrettyDebug produces a structured `pretty.rs` document rather than
writing directly into a fmt::Formatter, and types that implement
`PrettyDebug` have a convenience `display` method that produces a string
(to be used in situations where `Display` is needed for compatibility
with other traits, or where simple rendering is appropriate).
fixes#969, admittedly without a --delimiter alias
moves from_structured_data.rs to from_delimited_data.rs to better
identify its scope and adds to_delimited_data.rs. Now csv and tsv both
use the same code, tsv passes in a fixed '\t' argument where csv passes
in the value of --separator
With the proposed changes, these tests now become invalid. If the first line is
to be counted as data, then converting the headers to ints will fail. Removing
the headers and instead treating the first line as data, however, reflects the
new, desired mode of operation.
tables and able to work with them for data processing & viewing
purposes. At the moment, certain ways to process said tables we
are able to view a histogram of a given column.
As usage matures, we may find certain core commands that could
be used ergonomically when working with tables on Nu.
a joy. Fundamentally we embrace functional programming principles for
transforming the dataset from any format picked up by Nu. This table
processing "primitive" commands will build up and make pipelines
composable with data processing capabilities allowing us the valuate,
reduce, and map, the tables as far as even composing this declartively.
On this regard, `split-by` expects some table with grouped data and we
can use it further in interesting ways (Eg. collecting labels for
visualizing the data in charts and/or suit it for a particular chart
of our interest).
