Show parameter defaults in scope command signature, where they're
available for display by help.
per https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8928.
I found unexpected ramifications in one completer (NuHelpCompleter) and
plugins, which both use the flag-formatting routine from builtin help.
For the moment I made the minimum necessary changes to get the mainline
scenario to pass tests and run. But we should circle back on what to do
with plugins and help completer..
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
1. New `parameter_default` column to `signatures` table in
`$nu.scope.commands`
It is populated with whatever parameters can be defaulted: currently
positional args and named flags.
2. Built in help (both `help <command>` and `<command> --help` will
display the defaults
3. Help completer will display defaults for flags, but not for
positionals.
Example:
A custom command with some default parameters:
```
〉cat ~/work/dflts.nu
# sample function to show defaults in help
export def main [
arg1: string # mandatory positional
arg2:string=abc # optional positional
--switch # no default here
--named:int # named flag, no default
--other:string=def # flag
--hard:record<foo:int bar:string, bas:bool> # default can be compound type
= {foo:22, bar:"other worlds", bas:false}
] { {arg1: $arg1,
arg2: $arg2,
switch: $switch,
named: $named,
other: $other,
hard: $hard, }
}
〉use ~/work/dflts.nu
〉$nu.scope.commands | where name == 'dflts' | get signatures.0.any | reject short_flag description custom_completion

〉help dflts
sample function to show defaults in help
Usage:
> dflts {flags} <arg1> (arg2)
Flags:
--switch - switch -- no default here
--named <Int> - named flag, typed, but no default
--other <String> - flag with default (default: 'def')
--hard <Record([("foo", Int), ("bar", String), ("bas", Boolean)])> - default can be compound type (default: {foo: 22, bar: 'other worlds', bas: false})
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
Parameters:
arg1 <string>: mandatory positional
arg2 <string>: optional positional (optional, default: 'abc')
```
Compared to (relevant bits of) help output previously:
```
Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
-, --switch - no default here
-, --named <int> - named flag, no default
-, --other <string> - flag
-, --hard <record<foo: int, bar: string, bas: bool>> - default can be compound type
Signatures:
<any> | dflts <string> <string> -> <any>
Parameters:
arg1 <string>: mandatory positional
(optional) arg2 <string>: optional positional
```

# Description
Follow-up of #8940. As @bobhy pointed out, it makes sense for the
behaviour of flags to match the one for positional arguments, where
default values are of type `Option<Value>` instead of
`Option<Expression>`.
# User-Facing Changes
The same ones from the original PR:
- Flag default values will now be parsed as constants.
- If the default value is not a constant, a parser error is displayed.
# Tests + Formatting
A [new
test](e34e2d35f4/src/tests/test_engine.rs (L338-L344))
has been added to verify the new restriction.
# Description
Fixes#8939.
# User-Facing Changes
- Parameter default values will now be parsed as constants.
- If the default value is not a constant, a parser error is displayed.
# Tests + Formatting
The [only affected
test](d42c2b2dbc/src/tests/test_engine.rs (L325-L328))
has been updated to reflect the new behavior.
# Description
follow up to #8529
cleaned up version of #8892
- the original syntax is okay
```nu
def okay [rec: record] {}
```
- you can now add type annotations for fields if you know
them before hand
```nu
def okay [rec: record<name: string>] {}
```
- you can specify multiple fields
```nu
def okay [person: record<name: string age: int>] {}
# an optional comma is allowed
def okay [person: record<name: string, age: int>] {}
```
- if annotations are specified, any use of the command will be type
checked against the specified type
```nu
def unwrap [result: record<ok: bool, value: any>] {}
unwrap {ok: 2, value: "value"}
# errors with
Error: nu::parser::type_mismatch
× Type mismatch.
╭─[entry #4:1:1]
1 │ unwrap {ok: 2, value: "value"}
· ───────┬─────
· ╰── expected record<ok: bool, value: any>, found record<ok: int, value: string>
╰────
```
> here the error is in the `ok` field, since `any` is coerced into any
type
> as a result `unwrap {ok: true, value: "value"}` is okay
- the key must be a string, either quoted or unquoted
```nu
def err [rec: record<{}: list>] {}
# errors with
Error:
× `record` type annotations key not string
╭─[entry #7:1:1]
1 │ def unwrap [result: record<{}: bool, value: any>] {}
· ─┬
· ╰── must be a string
╰────
```
- a key doesn't have to have a type in which case it is assumed to be
`any`
```nu
def okay [person: record<name age>] {}
def okay [person: record<name: string age>] {}
```
- however, if you put a colon, you have to specify a type
```nu
def err [person: record<name: >] {}
# errors with
Error: nu::parser::parse_mismatch
× Parse mismatch during operation.
╭─[entry #12:1:1]
1 │ def unwrap [res: record<name: >] { $res }
· ┬
· ╰── expected type after colon
╰────
```
# User-Facing Changes
**[BREAKING CHANGES]**
- this change adds a field to `SyntaxShape::Record` so any plugins that
used it will have to update and include the field. though if you are
unsure of the type the record expects, `SyntaxShape::Record(vec![])`
will suffice
# Description
This is an experiment to see what switching the `let/let-env` family to
math expressions for initialisers would be like.
# User-Facing Changes
This would require any commands you call from `let x = <command here>`
(and similar family) to call the command in parentheses. `let x = (foo)`
to call `foo`.

# Description
As title, closes: #7921closes: #8273
# User-Facing Changes
when define a closure without pipe, nushell will raise error for now:
```
❯ let x = {ss ss}
Error: nu::parser::closure_missing_pipe
× Missing || inside closure
╭─[entry #2:1:1]
1 │ let x = {ss ss}
· ───┬───
· ╰── Parsing as a closure, but || is missing
╰────
help: Try add || to the beginning of closure
```
`any`, `each`, `all`, `where` command accepts closure, it forces user
input closure like `{||`, or parse error will returned.
```
❯ {major:2, minor:1, patch:4} | values | each { into string }
Error: nu::parser::closure_missing_pipe
× Missing || inside closure
╭─[entry #4:1:1]

· ───────┬───────
· ╰── Parsing as a closure, but || is missing
╰────
help: Try add || to the beginning of closure
```
`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
and scripts...

# Description
this PR adds, when it is defined in the `examples` method of the
`Command` implementations, the output of the examples to the output of
the `help` command.
this PR
- only modifies `crates/nu-engine/src/documentation.rs` and the
`get_documentation` function
- defines a new `WD` constant to print a **W**hite **D**immed `...`
- a `match` statement at the end of the example loop to
- print a white dimmed `...` when the example is not set, i.e. set to
`None` in the `examples` method of the `Command` implementation of a
command
- pretty print the output of the associated example `Value` when it has
been defined
> **Warning**
> LIMITATIONS:
> - i use snippets from `crates/nu-protocol/src/pipeline_data.rs`
> - the table creation from `pub PipelineData::print`, i.e. the `let
decl_id = ...;` and `let table = ...;` in the change
> - the table item printing from `PipelineData::write_all_and_flush`,
i.e. the `for item in table { ... }`
>
> ADDRESSED:
> - ~~the formatting of the output is not perfect and has to be fully
left aligned with the first column for now~~ (fixed with
[`5abeefd558c34ba9bae15e2f183ff4625442921e`..`a62be1b5a2c730959da5dbc028bb91ffe5093f63`](5abeefd558c34ba9bae15e2f183ff4625442921e..a62be1b5a2c730959da5dbc028bb91ffe5093f63))
> - ~~i'm using `.unwrap()` on both the changes above, not sure how to
handle this for now~~ (fixed for now thanks to 49f1dc080)
> - ~~the tests and `clippy` checks do not pass for now, see below~~
(`clippy` now is happy with 49f1dc080 and the tests pass with
11666bc715)
# User-Facing Changes
the output of the `help <command>` command is now augmented with the
outputs of the examples, when they are defined.
- `with-env`
```bash
> help with-env
...
Examples:
Set the MYENV environment variable
> with-env [MYENV "my env value"] { $env.MYENV }
my env value
Set by primitive value list
> with-env [X Y W Z] { $env.X }
Y
Set by single row table
> with-env [[X W]; [Y Z]] { $env.W }
Z
Set by key-value record
> with-env {X: "Y", W: "Z"} { [$env.X $env.W] }
╭───┬───╮
│ 0 │ Y │
│ 1 │ Z │
╰───┴───╯
```
instead of the previous
```bash
> help with-env
...
Examples:
Set the MYENV environment variable
> with-env [MYENV "my env value"] { $env.MYENV }
Set by primitive value list
> with-env [X Y W Z] { $env.X }
Set by single row table
> with-env [[X W]; [Y Z]] { $env.W }
Set by key-value record
> with-env {X: "Y", W: "Z"} { [$env.X $env.W] }
```
- `merge`
```bash
> help merge
...
Examples:
Add an 'index' column to the input table
> [a b c] | wrap name | merge ( [1 2 3] | wrap index )

# Description
Purely for consistency, various remaining instances of `$nothing`
(almost all of which were in test code) have been changed to `null`.
Now, the only place that refers to `$nothing` is the parser code which

# User-Facing Changes
**BREAKING CHANGES**
This removes the `&&` and `||` operators. We previously supported by
`&&`/`and` and `||`/`or`. With this change, only `and` and `or` are
valid boolean operators.

We already have the binary `bit-xor` and the shortcircuiting logical
`or`(`||`) and `and`(`&&`).
This introduces `xor` as a compact form for both brevity and clarity.
You can express the operation through `not`/`and`/`or` with a slight
risk of introducing bugs through typos.
Operator precedence
`and` > `xor` > `or`
Added logic and precedence tests.
* add signature information when help on one command
* tell user that one command support operated on cell paths
Also, make type output to be more friendly, like `record<>` should just be `record`
And the same to `table<>`, which should be `table`
* simplify code
* don't show signatures for parser keyword
* update comment
* output arg syntax shape as type, so it's the same as describe command
* fix string when no positional args
* update signature body
* update
* add help signature test
* fix arg output format for composed data type like list or record
* fix clippy
* add comment
* Copy lev_distance.rs from the rust compiler
* Minor changes to code from rust compiler
* "Did you mean" suggestions: test instrumented to generate markdown report
* Did you mean suggestions: delete test instrumentation
* Fix tests
* Fix test
`foo` has a genuine match: `for`
* Improve tests
* Initialize join.rs as a copy of collect.rs
* Evolve StrCollect into StrJoin
* Replace 'str collect' with 'str join' everywhere
git ls-files | lines | par-each { |it| sed -i 's,str collect,str join,g' $it }
* Deprecate 'str collect'
* Revert "Deprecate 'str collect'"
This reverts commit 959d14203e.
* Change `str collect` help message to say that it is deprecated
We cannot remove `str collect` currently (i.e. via
`nu_protocol::ShellError::DeprecatedCommand` since a prominent project
uses the API:
b85542c31c/src/virtualenv/activation/nushell/activate.nu (L43)
* Add hide-env to hide env vars; Cleanup tests
Also, there were some old unalias tests that I converted to hide.
* Add missing file
* Re-enable hide for env vars
* Fix test
* Rename did you mean error back
It was causing random tests to break
