# Description
Verified on discord with maintainer
Change adds regex separators in split rows/column/list. The primary
motivating reason was to make it easier to split on separators with
unbounded whitespace without requiring a lot of trim jiggery. But,
secondary motivation is the same as the set of all motivations for
adding split regex features to most languages.
# User-Facing Changes
Adds -r option to split rows/column/list.

I would like to get this in for 0.78, I think it's low-risk and I want
the `?` feature to be as polished as possible for its debut.

# Description
Currently, all four of these commands return a (rather-confusing)
spanless error when passed an empty list:
```
> [] | sort
Error:
× no values to work with
help: no values to work with
```
This PR changes these commands to always output `[]` if the input is
`[]`.
```
> [] | sort
╭────────────╮
│ empty list │
╰────────────╯
> [] | uniq-by foo
╭────────────╮
│ empty list │
╰────────────╯
```
I'm not sure what the original logic was here, but in the case of `sort`
and `uniq`, I think the current behavior is straightforwardly wrong.
`sort-by` and `uniq-by` are a bit more complicated, since they currently
try to perform some validation that the specified column name is present
in the input (see #8667 for problems with this validation, where a
possible outcome is removing the validation entirely). When passed `[]`,
it's not possible to do any validation because there are no records.
This opens up the possibility for situations like the following:
```
> [[foo]; [5] [6]] | where foo < 3 | sort-by bar
╭────────────╮
│ empty list │
╰────────────╯
```
I think there's a strong argument that `[]` is the best output for these
commands as well, since it makes pipelines like `$table | filter
$condition | sort-by $column` more predictable. Currently, this pipeline
will throw an error if `filter` evaluates to `[]`, but work fine
otherwise. This makes it difficult to write reliable code, especially
since users are not likely to encounter the `filter -> []` case in
testing (issue #5957). The only workaround is to insert manual checks
for an empty result. IMO, this is significantly worse than the "you can
typo a column name without getting an error" problem shown above.
Other commands that take column arguments (`get`, `select`, `rename`,
etc) already have `[] -> []`, so there's existing precedent for this
behavior.
The core question here is "what columns does `[]` have"? The current
behavior of `sort-by` is "no columns", while the current behavior of
`select` is "all possible columns". Both answers lead to accepting some
likely-buggy code without throwing on error, but in order to do better
here we would need something like `Value::Table` that tracks columns on
empty tables.
If other people disagree with this logic, I'm happy to split out the
`sort-by` and `uniq-by` changes into another PR.
# User-Facing Changes
`sort`, `uniq`, `sort-by`, and `uniq-by` now return `[]` instead of
throwing an error when input is `[]`.

The existing behavior was not documented, and the new behavior is what
you would expect by default, so I don't think we need to update
documentation.

This PR fixes a bug introduced in
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/8571.
We were accidentally converting a `Result<Value, ShellError>` to JSON
instead of converting a `Value`. The upshot was that we were sending
JSON like `{"Ok":{"foo":"bar"}}` instead of `{"foo":"bar"}`.
This was an easy bug to miss, because `ureq::send_json()` accepts any
`impl serde::Serialize`. I've added a test to prevent regression.
# Description
This removes all the old style of quasi-ranges before we had full range
support from `str substring`. Functionality should otherwise work, but
only with the official range syntax.
# User-Facing Changes

This PR fixes `select` when given an empty list; it used to return
`null` when given an empty list. I also cleaned up other `select` tests
while I was in the area.
### Before:
```
> [] | select a | to nuon
null
```
### After:
```
> [] | select a | to nuon
[]
```
It looks like the previous behaviour was accidentally introduced by
[this PR](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/7639).
# Description
Require that any value that looks like it might be a number (starts with
a digit, or a '-' + digit, or a '+' + digits, or a special form float
like `-inf`, `inf`, or `NaN`) must now be treated as a number-like
value. Number-like syntax can only parse into number-like values.
Number-like values include: durations, ints, floats, ranges, filesizes,
binary data, etc.

This breaks any and all numberlike values that were treated as strings

this would now require quotes or backticks to be treated as a string or
bare word, respectively.

# Description
This removes autoprinting the final value of a loop, much in the same
spirit as not autoprinting values at the end of statements. As we fix
these corner cases, it becomes more consistent that to print to the
screen in a script, you use the `print` command.
This gives a noticeable performance improvement as a bonus.

```
C:\Source\nushell〉 for x in 1..10 { $x }
1
2
3

10

Now:
```
C:\Source\nushell〉 for x in 1..10 { $x }

Prior to this PR, the less/greater than operators (`<`, `>`, `<=`, `>=`)
would throw an error if either side was null. After this PR, these
operators return null if either side (or both) is null.
### Examples
```bash
1 < 3 # true
1 < null # null
null < 3 # null
null < null # null
```
### Motivation
JT [asked the C#
folks](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/615329862395101194/1086137515053957140)
and this is apparently the approach they would choose for comparison
operators if they could start from scratch.
This PR makes `where` more convenient to use on jagged/missing data. For
example, we can now filter on columns that may not be present in every
row:
```
> [{foo: 123} {}] | where foo? > 10
╭───┬─────╮
│ # │ foo │
├───┼─────┤
│ 0 │ 123 │
╰───┴─────╯
```
this pr refines #8270 and closes#8109
# description
examples:
the original syntax is okay
```nu
def okay [nums: list] {} # the type of list will be list<any>
```
empty annotations are allowed in any variation
the last two may be caught by a future formatter,
but do not affect `nu` code currently
```nu
def okay [nums: list<>] {} # okay
def okay [nums: list< >] {} # weird but also okay
def okay [nums: list<
>] {} # also weird but okay
```
types are allowed (See [notes](#notes) below)
```nu
def okay [nums: list<int>] {} # `test [a b c]` will throw an error
def okay [nums: list< int > {} # any amount of space within the angle brackets is okay
def err [nums: list <int>] {} # this is not okay, `nums` and `<int>` will be parsed as
# two separate params,
```
nested annotations are allowed in many variations
```nu
def okay [items: list<list<int>>] {}
def okay [items: list<list>] {}
```
any unterminated annotation is caught
```nu
Error: nu::parser::unexpected_eof
× Unexpected end of code.
╭─[source:1:1]

Examples:
```
open file1.csv file2.csv file3.csv

when define a closure without pipe, nushell will raise error for now:
```

`any`, `each`, `all`, `where` command accepts closure, it forces user
input closure like `{||`, or parse error will returned.
```

```
`with-env`, `do`, `def`, `try` are special, they still remain the same,
although it says that it accepts a closure, but they don't need to be
written like `{||`, it's more likely a block but can capture variable
outside of scope:
```
❯ def test [input] { echo [0 1 2] | do { do { echo $input } } }; test aaa
aaa

Just realize that It's a big breaking change, we need to update config

Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
-i, --inner - Inner join (default)
-l, --left - Left-outer join
-r, --right - Right-outer join
-o, --outer - Outer join
Signatures:
<table> | join list<any>, <string>, <string?> -> <table>
Parameters:
right-table <list<any>>: The right table in the join
left-on <string>: Name of column in input (left) table to join on
(optional) right-on <string>: Name of column in right table to join on. Defaults to same column as left table.
Examples:
Join two tables

https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/8379 removed the `-i` flag from
`get` and `select` because the new `?` functionality covers most of the
same use cases. However, https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8480
made me realize that `-i` is still useful when dealing with cell paths
in variables.
This PR re-adds the `-i` flag to `get` and `select`. It works by just
marking every member in the cell path as optional, which will behave
_slightly_ differently than `-i` used to (previously it would suppress
any errors, even type errors) but IMO that's OK.
This reverts commit dec0a2517f.
It breaks programs like `fzf`

# Description
Fixes: #8402#8391
The cause of these issue if when we want to evaluate a expression with
`Value::Error`, nushell show error immediately. To fix the issue, we can
wrap the `Value::Error` into a `Value::Record`. So user can see the
message he want.
# User-Facing Changes
Before
```
❯ try { 1 / 0 } catch {|e| echo $"error is ($e)"}
Error: nu:🐚:division_by_zero
× Division by zero.
╭─[entry #2:1:1]
1 │ try { 1 / 0 } catch {|e| echo $"error is ($e)"}
· ┬
· ╰── division by zero
╰────
```
After
```
❯ try { 1 / 0 } catch {|e| echo $"error is ($e)"}
error is {msg: Division by zero., debug: DivisionByZero { span: Span { start: 43104, end: 43105 } }, raw: DivisionByZero { sp
an: Span { start: 43104, end: 43105 } }}
```
As we can see, error becomes a record with `msg`, `debug`, `raw`
columns.
1. msg column is a user friendly message.
2. debug column is more about `Value::Error` information as a string.
3. raw column is a `Value::Error` itself, if user want to re-raise the
error, just use `$e | get raw`

## Summary
This PR lets you use `?` to indicate that a member in a cell path is
optional and Nushell should return `null` if that member cannot be
accessed.
Unlike the previous PR, `?` is now a _postfix_ modifier for cell path
members. A cell path of `.foo?.bar` means that `foo` is optional and
`bar` is not.
`?` does _not_ suppress all errors; it is intended to help in situations
where data has "holes", i.e. the data types are correct but something is
missing. Type mismatches (like trying to do a string path access on a
date) will still fail.
### Record Examples
```bash
{ foo: 123 }.foo # returns 123
{ foo: 123 }.bar # errors
{ foo: 123 }.bar? # returns null
{ foo: 123 } | get bar # errors
{ foo: 123 } | get bar? # returns null
{ foo: 123 }.bar.baz # errors
{ foo: 123 }.bar?.baz # errors because `baz` is not present on the result from `bar?`
{ foo: 123 }.bar.baz? # errors
{ foo: 123 }.bar?.baz? # returns null
```
### List Examples
```
〉[{foo: 1} {foo: 2} {}].foo

# Breaking changes
1. Column names with `?` in them now need to be quoted.
2. The `-i`/`--ignore-errors` flag has been removed from `get` and
`select`
1. After this PR, most `get` error handling can be done with `?` and/or
`try`/`catch`.
4. Cell path accesses like this no longer work without a `?`:
```bash
〉[{a:1 b:2} {a:3}].b.0
2
```
We had some clever code that was able to recognize that since we only
want row `0`, it's OK if other rows are missing column `b`. I removed
that because it's tricky to maintain, and now that query needs to be
written like:
```bash
〉[{a:1 b:2} {a:3}].b?.0
2
```
I think the regression is acceptable for now. I plan to do more work in
the future to enable streaming of cell path accesses, and when that
happens I'll be able to make `.b.0` work again.

# Description
The correction made here concerns the issue #8431. Indeed, the algorithm
initially proposed to remove elements of a `vector` performed a loop
with `remove` and an incident therefore appeared when several values
were equal because the deletion was done outside the length of the
vector:
```rust
let mut found = false;
for (i, col) in cols.clone().iter().enumerate() {
if col == col_name {
cols.remove(i);
vals.remove(i);
found = true;
}
}
```
Then, `[[a, a]; [1, 2]] | reject a: ` gave `thread 'main' panicked at
'removal index (is 1) should be < len (is 1)',
crates/nu-protocol/src/value/mod.rs:1213:54`.
The proposed correction is therefore the implementation of the
`retain_mut` utility dedicated to this functionality.
```rust
let mut found = false;
let mut index = 0;
cols.retain_mut(|col| {
if col == col_name {
found = true;
vals.remove(index);
false
} else {
index += 1;
true
}
});
```

# Description
Fix for data ambiguity noted in #8244.
Basic change is to use nanosecond resolution for unix timestamps (stored
in type Int). Previously, a timestamp might have seconds, milliseconds
or nanoseconds, but it turned out there were overlaps in data ranges
between different resolutions, so there wasn't always a unique mapping
back to date/time.
Due to higher precision, the *range* of dates that timestamps can map to
is restricted. Unix timestamps with seconds resolution and 64 bit
storage can cover all dates from the Big Bang to eternity. Timestamps
with seconds resolution and 32 bit storage can only represent dates from
1901-12-13 through 2038-01-19. The nanoseconds resolution and 64 bit
storage used with this fix can represent dates from 1677-09-21T00:12:44
to 2262-04-11T23:47:16, something of a compromise.
# User-Facing Changes
_(List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This helps
us keep track of breaking changes.)_
## `<datetime> | into int`
Converts to nanosecond resolution
```rust
〉date now | into int
1678084730502126846
```
This is the number of non-leap nanoseconds after the unix epoch date:
1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00.
Conversion fails for dates outside the supported range:
```rust
〉1492-10-12 | into int
Error: nu:🐚:incorrect_value
× Incorrect value.
╭─[entry #51:1:1]
1 │ 1492-10-12 | into int

· ╰── DateTime out of timestamp range 1677-09-21T00:12:43 and 2262-04-11T23:47:16
╰────
```
## `<int> | into datetime`
Can no longer fail or produce incorrect results for any 64-bit input:
```rust
〉0 | into datetime
Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000 (53 years ago)
〉"7fffffffffffffff" | into int -r 16 | into datetime
Fri, 11 Apr 2262 23:47:16 +0000 (in 239 years)
〉("7fffffffffffffff" | into int -r 16) * -1 | into datetime
Tue, 21 Sep 1677 00:12:43 +0000 (345 years ago)
```
## `<date> | date to-record` and `<date> | date to-table`
Now both have a `nanosecond` field.
```rust
〉"7fffffffffffffff" | into int -r 16 | into datetime | date to-record
╭────────────┬───────────╮
│ year │ 2262 │
│ month │ 4 │

```
This change was not mandated by the OP problem, but it is nice to be
able to see the nanosecond bits that were present in Nushell `date` type
all along.

This PR adds tests to confirm that:
1. `http get` does the right thing (bail) when it encounters common SSL
errors
2. the `--insecure` flag works to ignore SSL errors
It's prompted by #8098, where `--insecure` stopped working and we didn't
notice until it was reported by a user.
## Deets + considerations
This PR uses [badssl.com](https://badssl.com/), a very handy website
affiliated with the Google Chrome team. The badssl authors mention that
stability is not guaranteed:
> Most subdomains are likely to have stable functionality, but anything
could change without notice.
I suspect that the badssl.com subdomains I've chosen will be stable
enough in practice. Can revisit this if the tests end up being flaky.
This PR does mean our tests are now making an external network call...
which I _think_ is OK. Our CI isn't exactly designed for offline
machines; test runners already have to download a bunch of crates etc. I
think the new tests are quick enough:
# Description
_(Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing
guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and talk to the core team before making major
changes.)_
This pull request removes `Reqwest` and replaces it with `Ureq` to
remove some of our dependencies, giving us faster compile times as well
as smaller binaries. `Ureq` does not have an async runtime included so
we do not need build heavy dependencies such as `Tokio`. From older
tests I had the number of build units be reduced from `430 -> 392`.
The default of `Ureq` uses `Rustls` but it has been configured to
instead use `native_tls` which should work exactly the same as the `tls`
works now.
I removed `content-length` from the http commands as after refactoring i
did not see a reason to have it available, correct me if this is
something we should preserve.
In the medium, to long term, we should maybe consider changing to
`rustls` to have the same `tls` on all platforms.

# Description
This PR adds an alternative alias implementation. Old aliases still work
but you need to use `old-alias` instead of `alias`.
Instead of replacing spans in the original code and re-parsing, which
proved to be extremely error-prone and a constant source of panics, the
new implementation creates a new command that references the old
command. Consider the new alias defined as `alias ll = ls -l`. The
parser creates a new command called `ll` and remembers that it is
actually a `ls` command called with the `-l` flag. Then, when the parser
sees the `ll` command, it will translate it to `ls -l` and passes to it
any parameters that were passed to the call to `ll`. It works quite
similar to how known externals defined with `extern` are implemented.
The new alias implementation should work the same way as the old
aliases, including exporting from modules, referencing both known and
unknown externals. It seems to preserve custom completions and pipeline
metadata. It is quite robust in most cases but there are some rough
edges (see later).

# User-Facing Changes
Since aliases are now basically commands, it has some new implications:
1. `alias spam = "spam"` (requires command call)
* **workaround**: use `alias spam = echo "spam"`
2. `def foo [] { 'foo' }; alias foo = ls -l` (foo defined more than
once)
* **workaround**: use different name (commands also have this
limitation)
4. `alias ls = (ls | sort-by type name -i)`
* **workaround**: Use custom command. _The common issue with this is
that it is currently not easy to pass flags through custom commands and
command referencing itself will lead to stack overflow. Both of these
issues are meant to be addressed._
5. TODO: Help messages, `which` command, `$nu.scope.aliases`, etc.
* Should we treat the aliases as commands or should they be separated
from regular commands?
6. Needs better error message and syntax highlight for recursed alias
(`alias f = f`)
7. Can't create alias with the same name as existing command (`alias ls

* Might be possible to add support for it (not 100% sure)
8. Standalone `alias` doesn't list aliases anymore
9. Can't alias parser keywords (e.g., stuff like `alias ou = overlay
use` won't work)
* TODO: Needs a better error message when attempting to do so
# Tests + Formatting
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

# Description
`bytes starts-with` converts the input into a `Value` before running
.starts_with to find if the binary matches. This has two side effects:
it makes the code simpler, only dealing in whole values, and simplifying
a lot of input pipeline handling and value transforming it would
otherwise have to do. _Especially_ in the presence of a cell path to
drill into. It also makes buffers the entire input into memory, which
can take up a lot of memory when dealing with large files, especially if
you only want to check the first few bytes (like for a magic number).
This PR adds a special branch on PipelineData::ExternalStream with a
streaming version of starts_with.
# User-Facing Changes
Opening large files and running bytes starts-with on them will not take
a long time.

# Drawbacks
Streaming checking is more complicated, and there may be bugs. I tested
it with multiple chunks with string data and binary data and it seems to
work alright up to 8k and over bytes, though.
The existing `operate` method still exists because the way it handles
cell paths and values is complicated. This causes some "code
duplication", or at least some intent duplication, between the value
code and the streaming code. This might be worthwhile considering the
performance gains (approaching infinity on larger inputs).
Another thing to consider is that my ExternalStream branch considers
string data as valid input. The operate branch only parses Binary
values, so it would fail. `open` is kind of unpredictable on whether it
returns string data or binary data, even when passing `--raw`. I think
this can be a problem but not really one I'm trying to tackle in this
PR, so, it's worth considering.
