# 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)

*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

# Description
Fixes: #13189
The issue is caused `error make` returns a `Value::Errror`, and when
nushell pass it to `table -e` in `std help`, it directly stop and render
the error message.
To solve it, I think it's safe to make these examples return None
directly, it doesn't change the reult of `help error make`.

# Description
Fixes one of the issues described in #13125
The `do` signature included a `SyntaxShape:Any` as one of the possible
first-positional types. This is incorrect. `do` only takes a closure as
a positional. This had the result of:
1. Moving what should have been a parser error to evaluation-time

2. Masking a bad test in `std assert`
This is a bit convoluted, but `std assert` tests included testing
`assert error` to make sure it:
* Asserts on bad code
* Doesn't assert on good code
The good-code test was broken, and was essentially bad-code (really
bad-code) that wasn't getting caught due to the bad signature.
Fixing this resulted in *parse time* failures on every call to
`test_asserts` (not something that particular test was designed to
handle.
This PR also fixes the test case to properly evaluate `std assert error`
against a good code path.

# Description
The standard library's `path add` function has some surprising side
effects that I attempt to address in this PR:
1. Paths added, if they are symbolic links, should not be resolved to
their targets. Currently, resolution happens.
Imagine the following:
```nu
# Some time earlier, perhaps even not by the user, a symlink is created
mkdir real-dir
ln -s real-dir link-dir
# Then, step to now, with link-dir that we want in our PATHS variable
use std
path add link-dir
```
In the current implementation of `path add`, it is _not_ `link-dir` that
will be added, as has been stated in the command. It is instead
`real-dir`. This is surprising. Users have the agency to do this
resolution if they wish with `path expand` (sans a `--no-symlink` flag):
for example, `path add (link-dir | path expand)`
In particular, when I was trying to set up
[fnm](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm), a Node.js version manager, I was
bitten by this fact when `fnm` told me that an expected path had not
been added to the PATHS variable. It was looking for the non-resolved
link. The user in [this
comment](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm/issues/463#issuecomment-1710050737)
was likely affected by this too.
Shells, such as nushell, can handle path symlinks just fine. Binary
lookup is unaffected. Let resolution be opt-in.
Lastly, there is some convention already in place for **not** resolving
path symlinks in the [default $env.ENV_CONVERSIONS
table](57452337ff/crates/nu-utils/src/sample_config/default_env.nu (L65)).
2. All existing paths in the path variable should be left untouched.
Currently, they are `path expand`-ed (including symbolic link
resolution).
Path add should mean just that: prepend/append this path.
Instead, it currently means that, _plus mutate all other paths in the
variable_.
Again, users have the agency to do this with something like `$env.PATH =
$env.PATH | split row (char esep) | path expand`.
3. Minorly, I update documentation on running tests in
`crates/nu-std/CONTRIBUTING.md`. The offered command to run the standard
library test suite was no longer functional. Thanks to @weirdan in [this
Discord
conversation](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/614593951969574961/1256029201119576147)
for the context.
# User-Facing Changes
(Written from the perspective of release notes)
- The standard library's `path add` function no longer resolves symlinks
in either the newly added paths, nor the other paths already in the
variable.
# Tests + Formatting
A test for the changes working correctly has been added to
`crates/nu-std/tests/test_std.nu` under the test named
`path_add_expand`.
You can quickly verify this new test and the existing `path add` test
with the following command:
```nu
cargo run -- -c 'use crates/nu-std/testing.nu; NU_LOG_LEVEL=INFO testing run-tests --path crates/nu-std --test path_add'
```
All commands suggested in the issue template have been run and complete
without error.

# Description
while i'm 100% okey with the original intent behind
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/12196, i think the PR did
introduce two unintended things:
- extra parentheses that make the `log.nu` module look like Lisp lol
- a renaming of the `NU_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable to
`NU_log-level`. this breaks previous usage of `std log` and, as it's not
mentionned at all in the PR, i thought it was not intentional 😋
# User-Facing Changes
users can now control `std log` with `$env.NU_LOG_LEVEL`
# Tests + Formatting
the "log" tests have been fixed as well.
# After Submitting
# Description
This is an attempt to isolate the unit tests from whatever might be in
the user's config. If the
user's config is broken in some way or incompatible with this version
(for example, especially if
there are plugins that aren't built for this version), tests can
spuriously fail.
This makes tests more reliably pass the same way they would on CI even
if the user has config, and
should also make them run faster.
I think this is _good enough_, but I still think we should have a
specific config dir env variable for nushell specifically (rather than
having to use `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, which would mess with other things) and
then we can just have `nu-test-support` set that to a temporary dir
containing the shipped default config files.

# Description
The PR overhauls how IO redirection is handled, allowing more explicit
and fine-grain control over `stdout` and `stderr` output as well as more
efficient IO and piping.
To summarize the changes in this PR:
- Added a new `IoStream` type to indicate the intended destination for a
pipeline element's `stdout` and `stderr`.
- The `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are stored in the `Stack` and to
avoid adding 6 additional arguments to every eval function and
`Command::run`. The `stdout` and `stderr` streams can be temporarily
overwritten through functions on `Stack` and these functions will return
a guard that restores the original `stdout` and `stderr` when dropped.
- In the AST, redirections are now directly part of a `PipelineElement`
as a `Option<Redirection>` field instead of having multiple different
`PipelineElement` enum variants for each kind of redirection. This
required changes to the parser, mainly in `lite_parser.rs`.
- `Command`s can also set a `IoStream` override/redirection which will
apply to the previous command in the pipeline. This is used, for
example, in `ignore` to allow the previous external command to have its
stdout redirected to `Stdio::null()` at spawn time. In contrast, the
current implementation has to create an os pipe and manually consume the
output on nushell's side. File and pipe redirections (`o>`, `e>`, `e>|`,
etc.) have precedence over overrides from commands.
This PR improves piping and IO speed, partially addressing #10763. Using
the `throughput` command from that issue, this PR gives the following
speedup on my setup for the commands below:
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| --------------------------- | -------------:| ------------:|
-----------:|
| `throughput o> /dev/null` | 1169 | 52938 | 54305 |
| `throughput \| ignore` | 840 | 55438 | N/A |
| `throughput \| null` | Error | 53617 | N/A |
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 1165 | 3049 | 3736 |
| `(throughput) \| rg 'x'` | 810 | 3085 | 3815 |
(Numbers above are the median samples for throughput)
This PR also paves the way to refactor our `ExternalStream` handling in
the various commands. For example, this PR already fixes the following
code:
```nushell
^sh -c 'echo -n "hello "; sleep 0; echo "world"' | find "hello world"
```
This returns an empty list on 0.90.1 and returns a highlighted "hello
world" on this PR.
Since the `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are available to commands
when they are run, then this unlocks the potential for more convenient
behavior. E.g., the `find` command can disable its ansi highlighting if
it detects that the output `IoStream` is not the terminal. Knowing the
output streams will also allow background job output to be redirected
more easily and efficiently.
# User-Facing Changes
- External commands returned from closures will be collected (in most
cases):
```nushell
1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print a" }
```
This gives `["a", "a"]` on this PR, whereas this used to print "a\na\n"
and then return an empty list.
```nushell
1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print -e a" }
```
This gives `["", ""]` and prints "a\na\n" to stderr, whereas this used
to return an empty list and print "a\na\n" to stderr.
- Trailing new lines are always trimmed for external commands when
piping into internal commands or collecting it as a value. (Failure to
decode the output as utf-8 will keep the trailing newline for the last
binary value.) In the current nushell version, the following three code
snippets differ only in parenthesis placement, but they all also have
different outputs:
1. `1..2 | each { ^echo a }`
```
a
a
╭────────────╮
│ empty list │
╰────────────╯
```
2. `1..2 | each { (^echo a) }`
```
╭───┬───╮
│ 0 │ a │
│ 1 │ a │
╰───┴───╯
```
3. `1..2 | (each { ^echo a })`
```
╭───┬───╮
│ 0 │ a │
│ │ │
│ 1 │ a │
│ │ │
╰───┴───╯
```
But in this PR, the above snippets will all have the same output:
```
╭───┬───╮
│ 0 │ a │
│ 1 │ a │
╰───┴───╯
```
- All existing flags on `run-external` are now deprecated.
- File redirections now apply to all commands inside a code block:
```nushell
(nu -c "print -e a"; nu -c "print -e b") e> test.out
```
This gives "a\nb\n" in `test.out` and prints nothing. The same result
would happen when printing to stdout and using a `o>` file redirection.
- External command output will (almost) never be ignored, and ignoring
output must be explicit now:
```nushell
(^echo a; ^echo b)
```
This prints "a\nb\n", whereas this used to print only "b\n". This only
applies to external commands; values and internal commands not in return
position will not print anything (e.g., `(echo a; echo b)` still only
prints "b").
- `complete` now always captures stderr (`do` is not necessary).

As reported, you could mess up the ring of remembered directories in
`std dirs` (a.k.a the `shells` commands) with a sequence like this:
```
~/test> mkdir b c

~/test/b> cd ../c
~/test/c> goto 0
~/test> goto 1
## expect to end up in ~/test/c
## observe you're in ~/test/b

```
Problem was `dirs goto` was not updating the remembered directories
before leaving the current slot for some other. This matters if the user
did a manual `cd` (which cannot update the remembered directories ring)

* Fix `borrow_nanoseconds` to borrow from seconds, not from (unused)
microseconds.
* Added error check to insist that first argument is >= second argument.
`datetime-diff` doesn't represent negative durations correctly (it tries
to borrow out of the year, resulting in negative year and positive all
other fields). We don't currently have a use case requiring negative
durations.
* Add comments so help is a bit clearer (I was surprised that the first
argument, named `$from` was actually supposed to be the *later*
datetime. The order of arguments is reasonable (reminiscent of <later>
<minus> <earlier>), so I just changed the param name to match its
purpose.
Changes made in `pretty-print-duration`:
* changed type of argument from `duration` to `record`. (it's not clear
why Nu was not complaining about this!)
* changed test for skipping a clause from `> 0` to `!= 0`. Even though
`datetime-diff` won't present a negative field in the record, user might
call `pretty-print-duration` with one, might as well handle it. (but I
think `hour:-2` will be rendered as `-2hr`, not `-2hrs`...).
* added help and an example.

this closes#10248
@fdncred pointed out the problem and he was correct 😄
I went ahead and made the simple change and the
https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb_iox binary
works like a charm...
@amtoine hopefully there are no issues with this change
I believe its a good one as other rust binaries might take advantage of
this common
environment variable as well...
# Description
* The path to the binaries for tests is slightly incorrect. It is
missing the build target when it is set with the `CARGO_BUILD_TARGET`
environment variable. For example, when `CARGO_BUILD_TARGET` is set to
`aarch64-linux-android`, the path to the `nu` binary is:
`./target/aarch64-linux-android/debug/nu`
rather than
`./target/debug/nu`
This is common on Termux since the default target that rustc detects can
cause problems on some projects, such as [python's `cryptography`
package](https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/issues/7248).
This technically isn't a problem specific to Android, but is more likely
to happen on Android due to the latter.
* Additionally, the existing variable named `NUSHELL_CARGO_TARGET` is in
fact the profile, not the build target, so this was renamed to
`NUSHELL_CARGO_PROFILE`. This change is included because without the
rename, the build system would be using `CARGO_BUILD_TARGET` for the
build target and `NUSHELL_CARGO_TARGET` for the build profile, which is
confusing.
* `std path add` tests were missing `android` test
# User-Facing Changes
For those who would like to build nushell on Termux, the unit tests will
pass now.
# Description
Closes: #9891
I also think it's good to keep command name consistency.
And moving `date format` to deprecated.
# User-Facing Changes
Running `date format` will lead to deprecate message:
```nushell

Error: nu:🐚:deprecated_command
× Deprecated command date format

# Description
Test runner now uses annotations instead of magic function names to pick
up code to run. Additionally skipping tests is now done on annotation
level so skipping and unskipping a test no longer requires changes to
the test code
In order for a function to be picked up by the test runner it needs to
meet following criteria:
* Needs to be private (all exported functions are ignored)
* Needs to contain one of valid annotations (and only the annotation)
directly above the definition, all other comments are ignored
Following are considered valid annotations:
* \# test
* \# test-skip
* \# before-all
* \# before-each
* \# after-each
* \# after-all

# 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"`.

# Description
When the directory stack contains only two directories, then std dirs
drop
used to misbehave and (essentially) drop the other directory, instead of
dropping the current directory.
This is fixed by always cd'ing for std dirs drop.
Before:
/tmp〉enter ..
/〉dexit
/〉
After:
/tmp〉enter ..
/〉dexit
/tmp〉
Additionally, I propose to explain the relevant environment variables a
bit
more thoroughly.
# User-Facing Changes
- Fix bug in dexit (std dirs drop) when two directories are remaining
# Tests + Formatting
Added a regression test. Made the existing test easier to understand.
# Description
Test runner now performs following actions in order to run tests:
* Module file is opened
* Public function with random name is added to the source code, this
function calls user-specified private function
* Modified module file is saved under random name in $nu.temp-path
* Modified module file is imported in subprocess, injected function is
called by the test runner
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
* Test functions no longer need to be exported
* test functions no longer need to reside in separate test_ files
* setup and teardown renamed to before-each and after-each respectively
* before-all and after-all functions added that run before all tests in
given module. This matches the behavior of test runners used by other
languages such as JUnit/TestNG or Mocha

related to the namespace bullet point in
- https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8450
# Description
this was the last module of the standard library with a broken
namespace, this PR takes care of this.
- `run-tests` has been moved to `std/mod.nu`
- `std/testing.nu` has been moved to `std/assert.nu`
- the namespace has been fixed
- `assert` is now called `main` and used in all the other `std assert`
commands
- for `std assert length` and `std assert str contains`, in order not to
shadow the built-in `length` and `str contains` commands, i've used
`alias "core ..." = ...` to (1) define `foo` in `assert.nu` and (2)
still use the builtin `foo` with `core foo` (replace `foo` by `length`
or `str contains`)
- tests have been fixed accordingly
# User-Facing Changes
one can not use
```
use std "assert equal"
```
anymore because `assert ...` is not exported from `std`.
`std assert` is now a *real* module.
# Tests + Formatting
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- ⚫ `toolkit test`

```
# Notes for reviewers
to test this, i think the easiest is to
- run `toolkit test stdlib` and see all the tests pass
- run `cargo run -- -n` and try `use std assert` => are all the commands
available in scope?

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.

# Description
A new command to simplify assertions for `false`.
The name is just a draft, though I could not come up with a better name.
I have rejected `assert false`, because I would have to rename `assert`
to `assert true` which would break the compatibility and worsen the
shell experience of the good old `assert`.
Another idea I have rejected was something like `assert_false` to keep
it consistent with the naming convention of our stdlib.
I am open to suggestions :)

# Description
this pr adds the following commands to `std iter`
- `iter find-index` -> returns the index of the first element that
matches the predicate or `-1` if none
- `iter flat-map` -> maps a closure to each nested structure and
flattens the result
- `iter zip-with` -> zips two structures and applies a closure to each
of the zips
it also fixes some \*\*very minor\*\* inconsistencies in the module

# Description
with the new `$nu.startup-time` from #8353 and as mentionned in #8311,
we are now able to fully move the `nushell` banner from the `rust`
source base to the standard library.
this PR
- removes all the `rust` source code for the banner
- rewrites a perfect clone of the banner to `std.nu`, called `std
banner`
- call `std banner` from `default_config.nu`
# User-Facing Changes
see the demo: https://asciinema.org/a/566521
- no config will show the banner (e.g. `cargo run --release --
--no-config-file`)
- a custom config without the `if $env.config.show_banner` block and no
call to `std banner` would never show the banner
- a custom config with the block and `config.show_banner = true` will
show the banner
- a custom config with the block and `config.show_banner = false` will
NOT show the banner
# Tests + Formatting
a new test line has been added to `tests.nu` to check the length of the
`std banner` output.

# Description
As in other testing frameworks, the `setup` runs before every test case,
and the `teardown` after that. A context can be created in `setup`,
which will be in the `$in` variable in the test cases, and in the
`teardown`. The `teardown` is called regardless of the test is passed,
skipped, or failed.
For example:
```nushell
use std.nu *
export def setup [] {
log debug "Setup is running"
{msg: "This is the context"}
}
export def teardown [] {
log debug $"Teardown is running. Context: ($in)"
}
export def test_assert_pass [] {
log debug $"Assert is running. Context: ($in)"
}
export def test_assert_skip [] {
log debug $"Assert is running. Context: ($in)"
