std dirs simply stays in sync with CD changes to PWD (#9267) # Description <!-- Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and talk to the core team before making major changes. Description of your pull request goes here. **Provide examples and/or screenshots** if your changes affect the user experience. --> Fixes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/9229. Supersedes #9234 The reported problem was that `shells` list of active shells (a.k.a `std dirs show` would show an inaccurate active working directory if user changed it via `cd` command. The fix here is for the `std dirs` module to let `$env.PWD` mask the active slot of `$env.DIRS_LIST`. The user is free to invoke CD (or write to `$env.PWD`) and `std dirs show` will display that as the active working directory. When user changes the active slot (via `n`, `p`, `add` or `drop`) `std dirs` remembers the then current PWD in the about-to-be-vacated active slot in `$env.DIRS_LIST`, so it is there if you come back to that slot. # User-Facing Changes <!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here.

# Maintain a list of working directories and navigate them
# The directory stack.
#
# Exception: the entry for the current directory contains an
# irrelevant value. Instead, the source of truth for the working
# directory is $env.PWD. It has to be this way because cd doesn't
# know about this module.
#
# Example: the following state represents a user-facing directory
# stack of [/a, /var/tmp, /c], and we are currently in /var/tmp .
#
# PWD = /var/tmp
# DIRS_POSITION = 1
# DIRS_LIST = [/a, /b, /c]
#
# This situation could arise if we started with [/a, /b, /c], then
# we changed directories from /b to /var/tmp.

remove let-env, focus on mutating $env (#9574) # Description For years, Nushell has used `let-env` to set a single environment variable. As our work on scoping continued, we refined what it meant for a variable to be in scope using `let` but never updated how `let-env` would work. Instead, `let-env` confusingly created mutations to the command's copy of `$env`. So, to help fix the mental model and point people to the right way of thinking about what changing the environment means, this PR removes `let-env` to encourage people to think of it as updating the command's environment variable via mutation. Before: ``` let-env FOO = "BAR" ``` Now: ``` $env.FOO = "BAR" ``` It's also a good reminder that the environment owned by the command is in the `$env` variable rather than global like it is in other shells. # User-Facing Changes BREAKING CHANGE BREAKING CHANGE This completely removes `let-env FOO = "BAR"` so that we can focus on `$env.FOO = "BAR"`. # Tests + Formatting <!-- Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

# Add one or more directories to the list.
Improves startup time when using std-lib (#13842) Updated summary for commit [612e0e2](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/13842/commits/612e0e21602f55092bc121bfd07f7c3bf5119e4f) - While folks are welcome to read through the entire comments, the core information is summarized here. # Description This PR drastically improves startup times of Nushell by only parsing a single submodule of the Standard Library that provides the `banner` and `pwd` commands. All other Standard Library commands and submodules are parsed when imported by the user. This cuts startup times by more than 60%. At the moment, we have stopped adding to `std-lib` because every addition adds a small amount to the Nushell startup time. With this change, we should once again be able to allow new functionality to be added to the Standard Library without it impacting `nu` startup times. # User-Facing Changes * Nushell now starts about 60% faster * Breaking change: The `dirs` (Shells) aliases will return a warning message that it will not be auto-loaded in the following release, along with instructions on how to restore it (and disable the message) * The `use std <submodule> *` syntax is available for convenience, but should be avoided in scripts as it parses the entire `std` module and all other submodules and places it in scope. The correct syntax to *just* load a submodule is `use std/<submodule> *` (asterisk optional). The slash is important. This will be documented. * `use std *` can be used for convenience to load all of the library but still incurs the full loading-time. * `std/dirs`: Semi-breaking change. The `dirs` command replaces the `show` command. This is more in line with the directory-stack functionality found in other shells. Existing users will not be impacted by this as the alias (`shells`) remains the same. * Breaking-change: Technically a breaking change, but probably only impacts maintainers of `std`. The virtual path for the standard library has changed. It could previously be imported using its virtual path (and technically, this would have been the correct way to do it): ```nu use NU_STDLIB_VIRTUAL_DIR/std ``` The path is now simply `std/`: ```nu use std ``` All submodules have moved accordingly. # Timings Comparisons below were made: * In a temporary, clean config directory using `$env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME = (mktemp -d)`. * `nu` was run with a release build * `nu` was run one time to generate the default `config.nu` (etc.) files - Otherwise timings would include the user-prompt * The shell was exited and then restarted several times to get timing samples (Note: Old timings based on 0.97 rather than 0.98, but in the range of being accurate) | Scenario | `$nu.startup-time` | | --- | --- | | 0.97.2 ([aaaab8e](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/commit/aaaab8e070c644a87bbd7682099e3fe9e6a4b42a)) Without this PR | 23ms - 24ms | | This PR with deprecated commands | 9ms - <11ms | | This PR after deprecated commands are removed in following release | 8ms - <10ms | | Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-std-lib` | 6.1ms to 6.4ms | | Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-config-file` | 3.1ms - 3.6ms | | Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-config-file --no-std-lib` | 1ms - 1.5ms | *These last two timings point to the opportunity for further optimization (see comment in thread below (will link once I write it).* # Implementation details for future maintenance * `use std banner` is a ridiculously deceptive call. That call parses and imports *all* of `std` into scope. Simply replacing it with `use std/core *` is essentially what saves ~14-15ms. This *only* imports the submodule with the `banner` and `pwd` commands. * From the code-comments, the reason that `NU_STDLIB_VIRTUAL_DIR` was used as a prefix was so that there wouldn't be an issue if a user had a `./std/mod.nu` in the current directory. This does **not** appear to be an issue. After removing the prefix, I tested with both a relative module as well as one in the `$env.NU_LIB_DIRS` path, and in all cases the *internal* `std` still took precedence. * By removing the prefix, users can now `use std` (and variants) without requiring that it already be parsed and in scope. * In the next release, we'll stop autoloading the `dirs` (shells) functionality. While this only costs an additional 1-1.5ms, I think it's better moved to the `config.nu` where the user can optionally remove it. The main reason is its use of aliases (which have also caused issues) - The `n`, `p`, and `g` short-commands are valuable real-estate, and users may want to map these to something else. For this release, there's an `deprecated_dirs` module that is still autoloaded. As with the top-level commands, use of these will give a deprecation warning with instructions on how to handle going forward. To help with this, moved the aliases to their own submodule inside the `dirs` module. * Also sneaks in a small change where the top-level `dirs` command is now the replacement for `dirs show` * Fixed a double-import of `assert` in `dirs.nu` * The `show_banner` step is replaced with simply `banner` rather than re-importing it. * A `virtual_path` may now be referenced with either a forward-slash or a backward-slash on Windows. This allows `use std/<submodule>` to work on all platforms. # Performance side-notes: * Future parsing and/or IR improvements should improve performance even further. * While the existing load time penalty of `std-lib` was not noticeable on many systems, Nushell runs on a wide-variety of hardware and OS platforms. Slower platforms will naturally see a bigger jump in performance here. For users starting multiple Nushell sessions frequently (e.g., `tmux`, Zellij, `screen`, et. al.) it is recommended to keep total startup time (including user configuration) under ~250ms. # Tests + Formatting * All tests are green * Updated tests: - Removed the test that confirmed that `std` was loaded (since we don't). - Removed the `shells` test since it is not autoloaded. Main `dirs.nu` functionality is tested through `stdlib-test`. - Many tests assumed that the library was fully loaded, because it was (even though we didn't intend for it to be). Fixed those tests. - Tests now import only the necessary submodules (e.g., `use std/assert`, rather than `use std assert`) - Some tests *thought* they were loading `std/log`, but were doing so improperly. This was masked by the now-fixed "load-everything-into-scope bug". Local CI would pass due the `$env.NU_LOG_<...>` variables being inherited from the calling process, but would fail in the "clean" GitHub CI environment. These tests have also been fixed. * Added additional tests for the changes # After Submitting Will update the Standard Library doc page

Improves startup time when using std-lib (#13842) Updated summary for commit [612e0e2](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/13842/commits/612e0e21602f55092bc121bfd07f7c3bf5119e4f) - While folks are welcome to read through the entire comments, the core information is summarized here. # Description This PR drastically improves startup times of Nushell by only parsing a single submodule of the Standard Library that provides the `banner` and `pwd` commands. All other Standard Library commands and submodules are parsed when imported by the user. This cuts startup times by more than 60%. At the moment, we have stopped adding to `std-lib` because every addition adds a small amount to the Nushell startup time. With this change, we should once again be able to allow new functionality to be added to the Standard Library without it impacting `nu` startup times. # User-Facing Changes * Nushell now starts about 60% faster * Breaking change: The `dirs` (Shells) aliases will return a warning message that it will not be auto-loaded in the following release, along with instructions on how to restore it (and disable the message) * The `use std <submodule> *` syntax is available for convenience, but should be avoided in scripts as it parses the entire `std` module and all other submodules and places it in scope. The correct syntax to *just* load a submodule is `use std/<submodule> *` (asterisk optional). The slash is important. This will be documented. * `use std *` can be used for convenience to load all of the library but still incurs the full loading-time. * `std/dirs`: Semi-breaking change. The `dirs` command replaces the `show` command. This is more in line with the directory-stack functionality found in other shells. Existing users will not be impacted by this as the alias (`shells`) remains the same. * Breaking-change: Technically a breaking change, but probably only impacts maintainers of `std`. The virtual path for the standard library has changed. It could previously be imported using its virtual path (and technically, this would have been the correct way to do it): ```nu use NU_STDLIB_VIRTUAL_DIR/std ``` The path is now simply `std/`: ```nu use std ``` All submodules have moved accordingly. # Timings Comparisons below were made: * In a temporary, clean config directory using `$env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME = (mktemp -d)`. * `nu` was run with a release build * `nu` was run one time to generate the default `config.nu` (etc.) files - Otherwise timings would include the user-prompt * The shell was exited and then restarted several times to get timing samples (Note: Old timings based on 0.97 rather than 0.98, but in the range of being accurate) | Scenario | `$nu.startup-time` | | --- | --- | | 0.97.2 ([aaaab8e](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/commit/aaaab8e070c644a87bbd7682099e3fe9e6a4b42a)) Without this PR | 23ms - 24ms | | This PR with deprecated commands | 9ms - <11ms | | This PR after deprecated commands are removed in following release | 8ms - <10ms | | Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-std-lib` | 6.1ms to 6.4ms | | Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-config-file` | 3.1ms - 3.6ms | | Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-config-file --no-std-lib` | 1ms - 1.5ms | *These last two timings point to the opportunity for further optimization (see comment in thread below (will link once I write it).* # Implementation details for future maintenance * `use std banner` is a ridiculously deceptive call.

After removing the prefix, I tested with both a relative module as well as one in the `$env.NU_LIB_DIRS` path, and in all cases the *internal* `std` still took precedence. * By removing the prefix, users can now `use std` (and variants) without requiring that it already be parsed and in scope. * In the next release, we'll stop autoloading the `dirs` (shells) functionality.

remove let-env, focus on mutating $env (#9574) # Description For years, Nushell has used `let-env` to set a single environment variable. As our work on scoping continued, we refined what it meant for a variable to be in scope using `let` but never updated how `let-env` would work. Instead, `let-env` confusingly created mutations to the command's copy of `$env`. So, to help fix the mental model and point people to the right way of thinking about what changing the environment means, this PR removes `let-env` to encourage people to think of it as updating the command's environment variable via mutation. Before: ``` let-env FOO = "BAR" ``` Now: ``` $env.FOO = "BAR" ``` It's also a good reminder that the environment owned by the command is in the `$env` variable rather than global like it is in other shells. # User-Facing Changes BREAKING CHANGE BREAKING CHANGE This completely removes `let-env FOO = "BAR"` so that we can focus on `$env.FOO = "BAR"`. # Tests + Formatting <!-- Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

Improves startup time when using std-lib (#13842) Updated summary for commit [612e0e2](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/13842/commits/612e0e21602f55092bc121bfd07f7c3bf5119e4f) - While folks are welcome to read through the entire comments, the core information is summarized here. # Description This PR drastically improves startup times of Nushell by only parsing a single submodule of the Standard Library that provides the `banner` and `pwd` commands. All other Standard Library commands and submodules are parsed when imported by the user. This cuts startup times by more than 60%. At the moment, we have stopped adding to `std-lib` because every addition adds a small amount to the Nushell startup time. With this change, we should once again be able to allow new functionality to be added to the Standard Library without it impacting `nu` startup times. # User-Facing Changes * Nushell now starts about 60% faster * Breaking change: The `dirs` (Shells) aliases will return a warning message that it will not be auto-loaded in the following release, along with instructions on how to restore it (and disable the message) * The `use std <submodule> *` syntax is available for convenience, but should be avoided in scripts as it parses the entire `std` module and all other submodules and places it in scope. The correct syntax to *just* load a submodule is `use std/<submodule> *` (asterisk optional). The slash is important. This will be documented. * `use std *` can be used for convenience to load all of the library but still incurs the full loading-time. * `std/dirs`: Semi-breaking change. The `dirs` command replaces the `show` command. This is more in line with the directory-stack functionality found in other shells. Existing users will not be impacted by this as the alias (`shells`) remains the same. * Breaking-change: Technically a breaking change, but probably only impacts maintainers of `std`. The virtual path for the standard library has changed. It could previously be imported using its virtual path (and technically, this would have been the correct way to do it): ```nu use NU_STDLIB_VIRTUAL_DIR/std ``` The path is now simply `std/`: ```nu use std ``` All submodules have moved accordingly. # Timings Comparisons below were made: * In a temporary, clean config directory using `$env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME = (mktemp -d)`. * `nu` was run with a release build * `nu` was run one time to generate the default `config.nu` (etc.) files - Otherwise timings would include the user-prompt * The shell was exited and then restarted several times to get timing samples (Note: Old timings based on 0.97 rather than 0.98, but in the range of being accurate) | Scenario | `$nu.startup-time` | | --- | --- | | 0.97.2 ([aaaab8e](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/commit/aaaab8e070c644a87bbd7682099e3fe9e6a4b42a)) Without this PR | 23ms - 24ms | | This PR with deprecated commands | 9ms - <11ms | | This PR after deprecated commands are removed in following release | 8ms - <10ms | | Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-std-lib` | 6.1ms to 6.4ms | | Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-config-file` | 3.1ms - 3.6ms | | Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-config-file --no-std-lib` | 1ms - 1.5ms | *These last two timings point to the opportunity for further optimization (see comment in thread below (will link once I write it).* # Implementation details for future maintenance * `use std banner` is a ridiculously deceptive call. That call parses and imports *all* of `std` into scope. Simply replacing it with `use std/core *` is essentially what saves ~14-15ms. This *only* imports the submodule with the `banner` and `pwd` commands. * From the code-comments, the reason that `NU_STDLIB_VIRTUAL_DIR` was used as a prefix was so that there wouldn't be an issue if a user had a `./std/mod.nu` in the current directory. This does **not** appear to be an issue. After removing the prefix, I tested with both a relative module as well as one in the `$env.NU_LIB_DIRS` path, and in all cases the *internal* `std` still took precedence. * By removing the prefix, users can now `use std` (and variants) without requiring that it already be parsed and in scope. * In the next release, we'll stop autoloading the `dirs` (shells) functionality. While this only costs an additional 1-1.5ms, I think it's better moved to the `config.nu` where the user can optionally remove it. The main reason is its use of aliases (which have also caused issues) - The `n`, `p`, and `g` short-commands are valuable real-estate, and users may want to map these to something else. For this release, there's an `deprecated_dirs` module that is still autoloaded. As with the top-level commands, use of these will give a deprecation warning with instructions on how to handle going forward. To help with this, moved the aliases to their own submodule inside the `dirs` module. * Also sneaks in a small change where the top-level `dirs` command is now the replacement for `dirs show` * Fixed a double-import of `assert` in `dirs.nu` * The `show_banner` step is replaced with simply `banner` rather than re-importing it. * A `virtual_path` may now be referenced with either a forward-slash or a backward-slash on Windows. This allows `use std/<submodule>` to work on all platforms. # Performance side-notes: * Future parsing and/or IR improvements should improve performance even further. * While the existing load time penalty of `std-lib` was not noticeable on many systems, Nushell runs on a wide-variety of hardware and OS platforms. Slower platforms will naturally see a bigger jump in performance here. For users starting multiple Nushell sessions frequently (e.g., `tmux`, Zellij, `screen`, et. al.) it is recommended to keep total startup time (including user configuration) under ~250ms. # Tests + Formatting * All tests are green * Updated tests: - Removed the test that confirmed that `std` was loaded (since we don't). - Removed the `shells` test since it is not autoloaded. Main `dirs.nu` functionality is tested through `stdlib-test`. - Many tests assumed that the library was fully loaded, because it was (even though we didn't intend for it to be). Fixed those tests. - Tests now import only the necessary submodules (e.g., `use std/assert`, rather than `use std assert`) - Some tests *thought* they were loading `std/log`, but were doing so improperly. This was masked by the now-fixed "load-everything-into-scope bug". Local CI would pass due the `$env.NU_LOG_<...>` variables being inherited from the calling process, but would fail in the "clean" GitHub CI environment. These tests have also been fixed. * Added additional tests for the changes # After Submitting Will update the Standard Library doc page

This will be documented. * `use std *` can be used for convenience to load all of the library but still incurs the full loading-time. * `std/dirs`: Semi-breaking change. The `dirs` command replaces the `show` command. This is more in line with the directory-stack functionality found in other shells. Existing users will not be impacted by this as the alias (`shells`) remains the same. * Breaking-change: Technically a breaking change, but probably only impacts maintainers of `std`. The virtual path for the standard library has changed. It could previously be imported using its virtual path (and technically, this would have been the correct way to do it): ```nu use NU_STDLIB_VIRTUAL_DIR/std ``` The path is now simply `std/`: ```nu use std ``` All submodules have moved accordingly. # Timings Comparisons below were made: * In a temporary, clean config directory using `$env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME = (mktemp -d)`. * `nu` was run with a release build * `nu` was run one time to generate the default `config.nu` (etc.) files - Otherwise timings would include the user-prompt * The shell was exited and then restarted several times to get timing samples (Note: Old timings based on 0.97 rather than 0.98, but in the range of being accurate) | Scenario | `$nu.startup-time` | | --- | --- | | 0.97.2 ([aaaab8e](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/commit/aaaab8e070c644a87bbd7682099e3fe9e6a4b42a)) Without this PR | 23ms - 24ms | | This PR with deprecated commands | 9ms - <11ms | | This PR after deprecated commands are removed in following release | 8ms - <10ms | | Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-std-lib` | 6.1ms to 6.4ms | | Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-config-file` | 3.1ms - 3.6ms | | Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-config-file --no-std-lib` | 1ms - 1.5ms | *These last two timings point to the opportunity for further optimization (see comment in thread below (will link once I write it).* # Implementation details for future maintenance * `use std banner` is a ridiculously deceptive call. That call parses and imports *all* of `std` into scope. Simply replacing it with `use std/core *` is essentially what saves ~14-15ms. This *only* imports the submodule with the `banner` and `pwd` commands. * From the code-comments, the reason that `NU_STDLIB_VIRTUAL_DIR` was used as a prefix was so that there wouldn't be an issue if a user had a `./std/mod.nu` in the current directory. This does **not** appear to be an issue. After removing the prefix, I tested with both a relative module as well as one in the `$env.NU_LIB_DIRS` path, and in all cases the *internal* `std` still took precedence. * By removing the prefix, users can now `use std` (and variants) without requiring that it already be parsed and in scope. * In the next release, we'll stop autoloading the `dirs` (shells) functionality. While this only costs an additional 1-1.5ms, I think it's better moved to the `config.nu` where the user can optionally remove it. The main reason is its use of aliases (which have also caused issues) - The `n`, `p`, and `g` short-commands are valuable real-estate, and users may want to map these to something else. For this release, there's an `deprecated_dirs` module that is still autoloaded. As with the top-level commands, use of these will give a deprecation warning with instructions on how to handle going forward. To help with this, moved the aliases to their own submodule inside the `dirs` module. * Also sneaks in a small change where the top-level `dirs` command is now the replacement for `dirs show` * Fixed a double-import of `assert` in `dirs.nu` * The `show_banner` step is replaced with simply `banner` rather than re-importing it. * A `virtual_path` may now be referenced with either a forward-slash or a backward-slash on Windows. This allows `use std/<submodule>` to work on all platforms. # Performance side-notes: * Future parsing and/or IR improvements should improve performance even further. * While the existing load time penalty of `std-lib` was not noticeable on many systems, Nushell runs on a wide-variety of hardware and OS platforms. Slower platforms will naturally see a bigger jump in performance here. For users starting multiple Nushell sessions frequently (e.g., `tmux`, Zellij, `screen`, et. al.) it is recommended to keep total startup time (including user configuration) under ~250ms. # Tests + Formatting * All tests are green * Updated tests: - Removed the test that confirmed that `std` was loaded (since we don't). - Removed the `shells` test since it is not autoloaded. Main `dirs.nu` functionality is tested through `stdlib-test`. - Many tests assumed that the library was fully loaded, because it was (even though we didn't intend for it to be). Fixed those tests. - Tests now import only the necessary submodules (e.g., `use std/assert`, rather than `use std assert`) - Some tests *thought* they were loading `std/log`, but were doing so improperly. This was masked by the now-fixed "load-everything-into-scope bug". Local CI would pass due the `$env.NU_LOG_<...>` variables being inherited from the calling process, but would fail in the "clean" GitHub CI environment. These tests have also been fixed. * Added additional tests for the changes # After Submitting Will update the Standard Library doc page
