# Description
This PR makes it so that non-zero exit codes and termination by signal
are treated as a normal `ShellError`. Currently, these are silent
errors. That is, if an external command fails, then it's code block is
aborted, but the parent block can sometimes continue execution. E.g.,
see #8569 and this example:
```nushell
[1 2] | each { ^false }
```
Before this would give:
```
╭───┬──╮
│ 0 │ │
│ 1 │ │
╰───┴──╯
```
Now, this shows an error:
```
Error: nu:🐚:eval_block_with_input
× Eval block failed with pipeline input
╭─[entry #1:1:2]
1 │ [1 2] | each { ^false }
· ┬
· ╰── source value
╰────
Error: nu:🐚:non_zero_exit_code
× External command had a non-zero exit code
╭─[entry #1:1:17]
1 │ [1 2] | each { ^false }
· ──┬──
· ╰── exited with code 1
╰────
```
This PR fixes#12874, fixes#5960, fixes#10856, and fixes#5347. This
PR also partially addresses #10633 and #10624 (only the last command of
a pipeline is currently checked). It looks like #8569 is already fixed,
but this PR will make sure it is definitely fixed (fixes#8569).
# User-Facing Changes
- Non-zero exit codes and termination by signal now cause an error to be
thrown.
- The error record value passed to a `catch` block may now have an
`exit_code` column containing the integer exit code if the error was due
to an external command.
- Adds new config values, `display_errors.exit_code` and
`display_errors.termination_signal`, which determine whether an error
message should be printed in the respective error cases. For
non-interactive sessions, these are set to `true`, and for interactive
sessions `display_errors.exit_code` is false (via the default config).
# Tests
Added a few tests.
# After Submitting
- Update docs and book.
- Future work:
- Error if other external commands besides the last in a pipeline exit
with a non-zero exit code. Then, deprecate `do -c` since this will be
the default behavior everywhere.
- Add a better mechanism for exit codes and deprecate
`$env.LAST_EXIT_CODE` (it's buggy).

# Description
Light refactoring of `send_request `in `client.rs`. In the end there are
more lines but now the logic is more concise and facilitates adding new
conditions in the future. Unit tests ran fine and I tested a few cases
manually.
Cool project btw, I'll be using nushell from now on.
# Description
As part of fixing https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/13586, this
PR checks the types of the operands when creating a range. Stuff like
`0..(glob .)` will be rejected at parse time. Additionally, `0..$x` will
be treated as a range and rejected if `x` is not defined, rather than
being treated as a string. A separate PR will need to be made to do
reject streams at runtime, so that stuff like `0..(open /dev/random)`
doesn't hang.
Internally, this PR adds a `ParseError::UnsupportedOperationTernary`
variant, for when you have a range like `1..2..(glob .)`.
# User-Facing Changes
Users will now receive an error if any of the operands in the ranges
they construct have types that aren't compatible with `Type::Number`.
Additionally, if a piece of code looks like a range but some parse error
is encountered while parsing it, that piece of code will still be
treated as a range and the user will be shown the parse error. This
means that a piece of code like `0..$x` will be treated as a range no
matter what. Previously, if `x` weren't the expression would've been
treated as a string `"0..$x"`. I feel like it makes the language less
complicated if we make it less context-sensitive.
Here's an example of the error you get:
```
> 0..(glob .)
Error: nu::parser::unsupported_operation
× range is not supported between int and any.
╭─[entry #1:1:1]
1 │ 0..(glob .)
· ─────┬─────┬┬
· │ │╰── any
· │ ╰── int
· ╰── doesn't support these values
╰────
```
And as an image:
![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5c76168d-27db-481b-b541-861dac899dbf)
Note: I made the operands themselves (above, `(glob .)`) be garbage,
rather than the `..` operator itself. This doesn't match the behavior of
the math operators (if you do `1 + "foo"`, `+` gets highlighted red).
This is because with ranges, the range operators aren't `Expression`s
themselves, so they can't be turned into garbage. I felt like here, it
makes more sense to highlight the individual operand anyway.
# Description
Seems like I developed a bit of a bad habit of trying to link
```rust
/// [`.foo()`]
```
in docstrings, and this just doesn't work automatically; you have to do
```rust
/// [`.foo()`](Self::foo)
```
if you want it to actually link. I think I found and replaced all of
these.
# User-Facing Changes
Just docs.
# Description
The name of the `group` command is a little unclear/ambiguous.
Everything I look at it, I think of `group-by`. I think `chunks` more
clearly conveys what the `group` command does. Namely, it divides the
input list into chunks of a certain size. For example,
[`slice::chunks`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.slice.html#method.chunks)
has the same name. So, this PR adds a new `chunks` command to replace
the now deprecated `group` command.
The `chunks` command is a refactored version of `group`. As such, there
is a small performance improvement:
```nushell
# $data is a very large list
> bench { $data | chunks 2 } --rounds 30 | get mean
474ms 921µs 190ns
# deprecation warning was disabled here for fairness
> bench { $data | group 2 } --rounds 30 | get mean
592ms 702µs 440ns
> bench { $data | chunks 200 } --rounds 30 | get mean
374ms 188µs 318ns
> bench { $data | group 200 } --rounds 30 | get mean
481ms 264µs 869ns
> bench { $data | chunks 1 } --rounds 30 | get mean
642ms 574µs 42ns
> bench { $data | group 1 } --rounds 30 | get mean
981ms 602µs 513ns
```
# User-Facing Changes
- `group` command has been deprecated in favor of new `chunks` command.
- `chunks` errors when given a chunk size of `0` whereas `group` returns
chunks with one element.
# Tests + Formatting
Added tests for `chunks`, since `group` did not have any tests.
# After Submitting
Update book if necessary.
# Description
This improves the error when the determined output of a custom command
doesn't match the specified output type by adding the actual determined
output type.
# User-Facing Changes
Previous: `command doesn't output {0}`
New: `expected {0}, but command outputs {1}`
# Tests + Formatting
Passing.
# After Submitting
- [ ] release notes? (minor change, but helpful)
# Description
This PR adds an internal representation language to Nushell, offering an
alternative evaluator based on simple instructions, stream-containing
registers, and indexed control flow. The number of registers required is
determined statically at compile-time, and the fixed size required is
allocated upon entering the block.
Each instruction is associated with a span, which makes going backwards
from IR instructions to source code very easy.
Motivations for IR:
1. **Performance.** By simplifying the evaluation path and making it
more cache-friendly and branch predictor-friendly, code that does a lot
of computation in Nushell itself can be sped up a decent bit. Because
the IR is fairly easy to reason about, we can also implement
optimization passes in the future to eliminate and simplify code.
2. **Correctness.** The instructions mostly have very simple and
easily-specified behavior, so hopefully engine changes are a little bit
easier to reason about, and they can be specified in a more formal way
at some point. I have made an effort to document each of the
instructions in the docs for the enum itself in a reasonably specific
way. Some of the errors that would have happened during evaluation
before are now moved to the compilation step instead, because they don't
make sense to check during evaluation.
3. **As an intermediate target.** This is a good step for us to bring
the [`new-nu-parser`](https://github.com/nushell/new-nu-parser) in at
some point, as code generated from new AST can be directly compared to
code generated from old AST. If the IR code is functionally equivalent,
it will behave the exact same way.
4. **Debugging.** With a little bit more work, we can probably give
control over advancing the virtual machine that `IrBlock`s run on to
some sort of external driver, making things like breakpoints and single
stepping possible. Tools like `view ir` and [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir) make it easier than
before to see what exactly is going on with your Nushell code.
The goal is to eventually replace the AST evaluator entirely, once we're
sure it's working just as well. You can help dogfood this by running
Nushell with `$env.NU_USE_IR` set to some value. The environment
variable is checked when Nushell starts, so config runs with IR, or it
can also be set on a line at the REPL to change it dynamically. It is
also checked when running `do` in case within a script you want to just
run a specific piece of code with or without IR.
# Example
```nushell
view ir { |data|
mut sum = 0
for n in $data {
$sum += $n
}
$sum
}
```
```gas
# 3 registers, 19 instructions, 0 bytes of data
0: load-literal %0, int(0)
1: store-variable var 904, %0 # let
2: drain %0
3: drop %0
4: load-variable %1, var 903
5: iterate %0, %1, end 15 # for, label(1), from(14:)
6: store-variable var 905, %0
7: load-variable %0, var 904
8: load-variable %2, var 905
9: binary-op %0, Math(Plus), %2
10: span %0
11: store-variable var 904, %0
12: load-literal %0, nothing
13: drain %0
14: jump 5
15: drop %0 # label(0), from(5:)
16: drain %0
17: load-variable %0, var 904
18: return %0
```
# Benchmarks
All benchmarks run on a base model Mac Mini M1.
## Iterative Fibonacci sequence
This is about as best case as possible, making use of the much faster
control flow. Most code will not experience a speed improvement nearly
this large.
```nushell
def fib [n: int] {
mut a = 0
mut b = 1
for _ in 2..=$n {
let c = $a + $b
$a = $b
$b = $c
}
$b
}
use std bench
bench { 0..50 | each { |n| fib $n } }

[random-bytes.nu](https://github.com/nushell/nu_scripts/blob/main/benchmarks/random-bytes.nu)
I got pretty random results out of this benchmark so I decided not to
include it. Not clear why.
# User-Facing Changes
- IR compilation errors may appear even if the user isn't evaluating
with IR.
- IR evaluation can be enabled by setting the `NU_USE_IR` environment
variable to any value.
- New command `view ir` pretty-prints the IR for a block, and `view ir
--json` can be piped into an external tool like [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir).
# Tests + Formatting
All tests are passing with `NU_USE_IR=1`, and I've added some more eval
tests to compare the results for some very core operations. I will
probably want to add some more so we don't have to always check
`NU_USE_IR=1 toolkit test --workspace` on a regular basis.
# After Submitting

- [ ] further documentation of instructions?
- [ ] post-release: publish `nu_plugin_explore_ir`
# Description
This PR introduces a new `Signals` struct to replace our adhoc passing
around of `ctrlc: Option<Arc<AtomicBool>>`. Doing so has a few benefits:
- We can better enforce when/where resetting or triggering an interrupt
is allowed.
- Consolidates `nu_utils::ctrl_c::was_pressed` and other ad-hoc
re-implementations into a single place: `Signals::check`.
- This allows us to add other types of signals later if we want. E.g.,
exiting or suspension.
- Similarly, we can more easily change the underlying implementation if
we need to in the future.
- Places that used to have a `ctrlc` of `None` now use
`Signals::empty()`, so we can double check these usages for correctness
in the future.
# Description
After discussing with @sholderbach the cumbersome usage of
`nu_protocol::Value` in Rust, I created a derive macro to simplify it.
I’ve added a new crate called `nu-derive-value`, which includes two
macros, `IntoValue` and `FromValue`. These are re-exported in
`nu-protocol` and should be encouraged to be used via that re-export.
The macros ensure that all types can easily convert from and into
`Value`. For example, as a plugin author, you can define your plugin
configuration using a Rust struct and easily convert it using
`FromValue`. This makes plugin configuration less of a hassle.
I introduced the `IntoValue` trait for a standardized approach to
converting values into `Value` (and a fallible variant `TryIntoValue`).
This trait could potentially replace existing `into_value` methods.
Along with this, I've implemented `FromValue` for several standard types
and refined other implementations to use blanket implementations where
applicable.
I made these design choices with input from @devyn.
There are more improvements possible, but this is a solid start and the
PR is already quite substantial.
# User-Facing Changes
For `nu-protocol` users, these changes simplify the handling of
`Value`s. There are no changes for end-users of nushell itself.
# Tests + Formatting
Documenting the macros itself is not really possible, as they cannot
really reference any other types since they are the root of the
dependency graph. The standard library has the same problem
([std::Debug](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/fmt/derive.Debug.html)).
However I documented the `FromValue` and `IntoValue` traits completely.
For testing, I made of use `proc-macro2` in the derive macro code. This
would allow testing the generated source code. Instead I just tested
that the derived functionality is correct. This is done in
`nu_protocol::value::test_derive`, as a consumer of `nu-derive-value`
needs to do the testing of the macro usage. I think that these tests
should provide a stable baseline so that users can be sure that the impl
works.
# After Submitting
With these macros available, we can probably use them in some examples
for plugins to showcase the use of them.
# Description
#7777 removed the `--numbered` flag from `each`, `par-each`, `reduce`,
and `each while`. It was suggested at the time that it should be removed
from `for` as well, but for several reasons it wasn't.
This PR deprecates `--numbered` in anticipation of removing it in 0.96.
Note: Please review carefully, as this is my first "real" Rust/Nushell
code. I was hoping that some prior commit would be useful as a template,
but since this was an argument on a parser keyword, I didn't find too
much useful. So I had to actually find the relevant helpers in the code
and `nu_protocol` doc and learn how to use them - oh darn ;-) But please
make sure I did it correctly.
# User-Facing Changes
* Use of `--numbered` will result in a deprecation warning.
* Changed help example to demonstrate the new syntax.
* Help shows deprecation notice on the flag

# Description
Removes the old `nu-cmd-dataframe` crate in favor of the polars plugin.
As such, this PR also removes the `dataframe` feature, related CI, and
full releases of nushell.
# Description
This PR allows byte streams to optionally be colored as being
specifically binary or string data, which guarantees that they'll be
converted to `Binary` or `String` appropriately on `into_value()`,
making them compatible with `Type` guarantees. This makes them
significantly more broadly usable for command input and output.
There is still an `Unknown` type for byte streams coming from external
commands, which uses the same behavior as we previously did where it's a
string if it's UTF-8.
A small number of commands were updated to take advantage of this, just
to prove the point. I will be adding more after this merges.
# User-Facing Changes
- New types in `describe`: `string (stream)`, `binary (stream)`
- These commands now return a stream if their input was a stream:
- `into binary`
- `into string`
- `bytes collect`
- `str join`
- `first` (binary)
- `last` (binary)
- `take` (binary)
- `skip` (binary)
- Streams that are explicitly binary colored will print as a streaming
hexdump
- example:
```nushell
1.. | each { into binary } | bytes collect
```
# Tests + Formatting
I've added some tests to cover it at a basic level, and it doesn't break
anything existing, but I do think more would be nice. Some of those will
come when I modify more commands to stream.
# After Submitting
There are a few things I'm not quite satisfied with:
- **String trimming behavior.** We automatically trim newlines from
streams from external commands, but I don't think we should do this with
internal commands. If I call a command that happens to turn my string
into a stream, I don't want the newline to suddenly disappear. I changed
this to specifically do it only on `Child` and `File`, but I don't know
if this is quite right, and maybe we should bring back the old flag for
`trim_end_newline`
- **Known binary always resulting in a hexdump.** It would be nice to
have a `print --raw`, so that we can put binary data on stdout
explicitly if we want to. This PR doesn't change how external commands
work though - they still dump straight to stdout.
Otherwise, here's the normal checklist:
- [ ] release notes
- [ ] docs update for plugin protocol changes (added `type` field)

# Description
This PR introduces a `ByteStream` type which is a `Read`-able stream of
bytes. Internally, it has an enum over three different byte stream
sources:
```rust
pub enum ByteStreamSource {
Read(Box<dyn Read + Send + 'static>),
File(File),
Child(ChildProcess),
}
```
This is in comparison to the current `RawStream` type, which is an
`Iterator<Item = Vec<u8>>` and has to allocate for each read chunk.
Currently, `PipelineData::ExternalStream` serves a weird dual role where
it is either external command output or a wrapper around `RawStream`.
`ByteStream` makes this distinction more clear (via `ByteStreamSource`)
and replaces `PipelineData::ExternalStream` in this PR:
```rust
pub enum PipelineData {
Empty,
Value(Value, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
ListStream(ListStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
ByteStream(ByteStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
}
```
The PR is relatively large, but a decent amount of it is just repetitive
changes.
This PR fixes#7017, fixes#10763, and fixes#12369.
This PR also improves performance when piping external commands. Nushell
should, in most cases, have competitive pipeline throughput compared to,
e.g., bash.
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| -------------------------------------------------- | -------------:|
------------:| -----------:|
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 3059 | 3744 | 3739 |
| `throughput \| nu --testbin relay o> /dev/null` | 3508 | 8087 | 8136 |
# User-Facing Changes
- This is a breaking change for the plugin communication protocol,
because the `ExternalStreamInfo` was replaced with `ByteStreamInfo`.
Plugins now only have to deal with a single input stream, as opposed to
the previous three streams: stdout, stderr, and exit code.
- The output of `describe` has been changed for external/byte streams.
- Temporary breaking change: `bytes starts-with` no longer works with
byte streams. This is to keep the PR smaller, and `bytes ends-with`
already does not work on byte streams.
- If a process core dumped, then instead of having a `Value::Error` in
the `exit_code` column of the output returned from `complete`, it now is
a `Value::Int` with the negation of the signal number.
# After Submitting
- Update docs and book as necessary
- Release notes (e.g., plugin protocol changes)
- Adapt/convert commands to work with byte streams (high priority is
`str length`, `bytes starts-with`, and maybe `bytes ends-with`).
- Refactor the `tee` code, Devyn has already done some work on this.

# Description
Refactors the code in `nu-cli`, `main.rs`, `run.rs`, and few others.
Namely, I added `EngineState::generate_nu_constant` function to
eliminate some duplicate code. Otherwise, I changed a bunch of areas to
return errors instead of calling `std::process::exit`.
# User-Facing Changes
Should be none.
# Description
Removes lazy records from the language, following from the reasons
outlined in #12622. Namely, this should make semantics more clear and
will eliminate concerns regarding maintainability.
# User-Facing Changes
- Breaking change: `lazy make` is removed.
- Breaking change: `describe --collect-lazyrecords` flag is removed.
- `sys` and `debug info` now return regular records.
# After Submitting
- Update nushell book if necessary.
- Explore new `sys` and `debug info` APIs to prevent them from taking
too long (e.g., subcommands or taking an optional column/cell-path
argument).
# Description
So far this seems like the winner of my poll on what the name should be.
I'll take this off draft once the poll expires, if this is indeed the
winner.
# Description
Adds a new keyword, `plugin use`. Unlike `register`, this merely loads
the signatures from the plugin cache file. The file is configurable with
the `--plugin-config` option either to `nu` or to `plugin use` itself,
just like the other `plugin` family of commands. At the REPL, one might
do this to replace `register`:
```nushell
> plugin add ~/.cargo/bin/nu_plugin_foo
> plugin use foo
```
This will not work in a script, because `plugin use` is a keyword and
`plugin add` does not evaluate at parse time (intentionally). This means
we no longer run random binaries during parse.
The `--plugins` option has been added to allow running `nu` with certain
plugins in one step. This is used especially for the `nu_with_plugins!`
test macro, but I'd imagine is generally useful. The only weird quirk is
that it has to be a list, and we don't really do this for any of our
other CLI args at the moment.
`register` now prints a deprecation parse warning.
This should fix#11923, as we now have a complete alternative to
`register`.
# User-Facing Changes
- Add `plugin use` command
- Deprecate `register`
- Add `--plugins` option to `nu` to replace a common use of `register`
# Tests + Formatting
I think I've tested it thoroughly enough and every existing test passes.
Testing nu CLI options and alternate config files is a little hairy and
I wish there were some more generic helpers for this, so this will go on
my TODO list for refactoring.

# Description
- Plugin signatures are now saved to `plugin.msgpackz`, which is
brotli-compressed MessagePack.
- The file is updated incrementally, rather than writing all plugin
commands in the engine every time.
- The file always contains the result of the `Signature` call to the
plugin, even if commands were removed.
- Invalid data for a particular plugin just causes an error to be
reported, but the rest of the plugins can still be parsed
# User-Facing Changes
- The plugin file has a different filename, and it's not a nushell
script.
- The default `plugin.nu` file will be automatically migrated the first
time, but not other plugin config files.
- We don't currently provide any utilities that could help edit this
file, beyond `plugin add` and `plugin rm`
- `from msgpackz`, `to msgpackz` could also help
- New commands: `plugin add`, `plugin rm`
# Tests + Formatting
Tests added for the format and for the invalid handling.

# Description
EngineState now tracks the script currently running, instead of the
parent directory of the script. This also provides an easy way to expose
the current running script to the user (Issue #12195).
Similarly, StateWorkingSet now tracks scripts instead of directories.
`parsed_module_files` and `currently_parsed_pwd` are merged into one
variable, `scripts`, which acts like a stack for tracking the current
running script (which is on the top of the stack).
Circular import check is added for `source` operations, in addition to
module import. A simple testcase is added for circular source.

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This

It shouldn't have any user facing changes.
# Description
This changes the interface for plugins to always represent errors as
`LabeledError`s. This is good for altlang plugins, as it would suck for
them to have to implement and track `ShellError`. We save a lot of
generated code from the `ShellError` serde impl too, so `nu` and plugins
get to have a smaller binary size.
Reduces the release binary size by 1.2 MiB on my build configuration.
# User-Facing Changes
- Changes plugin protocol. `ShellError` no longer serialized.
- `ShellError` serialize output is different
- `ShellError` no longer deserializes to exactly the same value as
serialized

# Description
This makes `LabeledError` much more capable of representing close to
everything a `miette::Diagnostic` can, including `ShellError`, and
allows plugins to generate multiple error spans, codes, help, etc.
`LabeledError` is now embeddable within `ShellError` as a transparent
variant.
This could also be used to improve `error make` and `try/catch` to
reflect `LabeledError` exactly in the future.
Also cleaned up some errors in existing plugins.
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking change for plugins. Nicer errors for users.
# 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).
# After Submitting
The language guide and other documentation will need to be updated.
Part of the doccomment was an implementation note on the `im` crate that
hasn't been used for ages.
(If I recall we maybe even received a comment on discord on this)

Closes#12103

As described in #12103, this PR makes Nushell use `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` as
the config directory if it exists. Otherwise, it uses the old behavior,
which was to use `dirs_next::config_dir()`.
Edit: We discussed choosing between `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and the default
config directory in Discord and decided against it, at least for now.
<s>@kubouch also suggested letting users choose between
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and the default config directory if config files
aren't found on startup and `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is set to a value
different from the default config directory</s>
On Windows and MacOS, if the `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` variable is set but
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either empty or doesn't exist *and* the old config
directory is non-empty, Nushell will issue a warning on startup saying
that it won't move files from the old config directory to the new one.
To do this, I had to add a `nu_path::config_dir_old()` function. I
assume that at some point, we will remove the warning message and the
function can be removed too. Alternatively, instead of having that
function there, `main.rs` could directly call `dirs_next::config_dir()`.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
When `$env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is set to an absolute path, Nushell will use
`$"($env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME)/nushell"` as its config directory (previously,
this only worked on Linux).
To use `App Data\Roaming` (Windows) or `Library/Application Support`
(MacOS) instead (the old behavior), one can either leave
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME` unset or set it to an empty string.
If `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is set, but to a non-absolute/invalid path, Nushell
will report an error on startup and use the default config directory
instead:

Linux.

PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.
-->
The documentation will have to be updated to note that Nushell uses
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME` now. As @fdncred pointed out, it's possible for people
to set `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` to, say, `~/.config/nushell` rather than
`~/.config`, so the documentation could warn about that mistake.
This is partially "feng-shui programming" of moving things to new
separate places.
The later commits include "`git blame` tollbooths" by moving out chunks
of code into new files, which requires an extra step to track things
with `git blame`. We can negiotiate if you want to keep particular
things in their original place.
If egregious I tried to add a bit of documentation. If I see something
that is unused/unnecessarily `pub` I will try to remove that.
