# Description
This PR implements modifications to command tests that write unnecessary
json and csv to disk then load it with open, by using nuon literals
instead.

This only affects existing tests, which still pass.

This PR is related to **Tests: clean up unnecessary use of cwd,
pipeline(), etc.
[#8670](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8670)**
- Removed the `r#"..."#` raw string literal syntax, which is unnecessary
when there are no special characters that need quoting from the tests
that use the `nu!` macro.
- `cwd:` and `pipeline()` has not changed

This PR just tidies up some tests by removing unused code:
1. If the filesystem is not touched, don't use the filesystem
playground/sandbox
2. If the filesystem is not touched, don't specify the `cwd`
3. If the command is short, don't bother wrapping it in `pipeline()`
4. If the command doesn't have quotes, don't bother with a `r#"..."#`
raw string
Part of #8670.
# 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.
