# Description
Partialy addresses #13868. `try` does not catch non-zero exit code
errors from the last command in a pipeline if the result is assigned to
a variable using `let` (or `mut`).
This was fixed by adding a new `OutDest::Value` case. This is used when
the pipeline is in a "value" position. I.e., it will be collected into a
value. This ended up replacing most of the usages of `OutDest::Capture`.
So, this PR also renames `OutDest::Capture` to `OutDest::PipeSeparate`
to better fit the few remaining use cases for it.
# User-Facing Changes
Bug fix.
# Tests + Formatting
Added two tests.
# 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
This changes the behavior of `tee` to be more transparent when given a
value that isn't a list or range. Previously, anything that wasn't a
byte stream would converted to a list stream using the iterator
implementation, which led to some surprising results. Instead, now, if
the value is a string or binary, it will be treated the same way a byte
stream is, and the output of `tee` is a byte stream instead of the
original value. This is done so that we can synchronize with the other
thread on collect, and potentially capture any error produced by the
closure.
For values that can't be converted to streams, the closure is just run
with a clone of the value instead on another thread. Because we can't
wait for the other thread, there is no way to send an error back to the
original thread, so instead it's just written to stderr using
`report_error_new()`.
There are a couple of follow up edge cases I see where byte streams
aren't necessarily treated exactly the same way strings are, but this
should mostly be a good experience.
Fixes#13489.
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking change.
- `tee` now outputs and sends string/binary stream for string/binary
input.
- `tee` now outputs and sends the original value for any other input
other than lists/ranges.
# Tests + Formatting
Added for new behavior.
# After Submitting
- [ ] release notes: breaking change, command change
# Description
Something I meant to add a long time ago. We currently don't have a
convenient way to print raw binary data intentionally. You can pipe it
through `cat` to turn it into an unknown stream, or write it to a file
and read it again, but we can't really just e.g. generate msgpack and
write it to stdout without this. For example:
```nushell
[abc def] | to msgpack | print --raw
```
This is useful for nushell scripts that will be piped into something
else. It also means that `nu_plugin_nu_example` probably doesn't need to
do this anymore, but I haven't adjusted it yet:
```nushell
def tell_nushell_encoding [] {
print -n "\u{0004}json"
}
```
This happens to work because 0x04 is a valid UTF-8 character, but it
wouldn't be possible if it were something above 0x80.
`--raw` also formats other things without `table`, I figured the two
things kind of go together. The output is kind of like `to text`.
Debatable whether that should share the same flag, but it was easier
that way and seemed reasonable.

# Description
This PR expands on [the relay of signals to running plugin
processes](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/13181). The Ctrlc
relay has been generalized to SignalAction::Interrupt and when
reset_signal is called on the main EngineState, a SignalAction::Reset is
now relayed to running plugins.
# User-Facing Changes
The signal handler closure now takes a `signals::SignalAction`, while
previously it took no arguments. The handler will now be called on both
interrupt and reset. The method to register a handler on the plugin side
is now called `register_signal_handler` instead of
`register_ctrlc_handler`
[example](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/13510/files#diff-3e04dff88fd0780a49778a3d1eede092ec729a1264b4ef07ca0d2baa859dad05L38).
This will only affect plugin authors who have started making use of
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/13181, which isn't currently
part of an official release.
The change will also require all of user's plugins to be recompiled in
order that they don't error when a signal is received on the
PluginInterface.

I think the suggestions here are a net positive, some of the suggestions
moved into #13498 feel somewhat arbitrary, I also raised
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/13188 as the nightly
`byte_char_slices` would require either a global allow or otherwise a
ton of granular allows or possibly confusing bytestring literals.
# Description
This PR adds a new method to `EngineInterface`: `register_ctrlc_handler`
which takes a closure to run when the plugin's driving engine receives a
ctrlc-signal. It also adds a mirror of the `signals` attribute from the
main shell `EngineState`.
This is an example of how a plugin which makes a long poll http request
can end the request on ctrlc:
https://github.com/cablehead/nu_plugin_http/blob/main/src/commands/request.rs#L68-L77
To facilitate the feature, a new attribute has been added to
`EngineState`: `ctrlc_handlers`. This is a Vec of closures that will be
run when the engine's process receives a ctrlc signal.
When plugins are added to an `engine_state` during a `merge_delta`, the
engine passes the ctrlc_handlers to the plugin's
`.configure_ctrlc_handler` method, which gives the plugin a chance to
register a handler that sends a ctrlc packet through the
`PluginInterface`, if an instance of the plugin is currently running.
On the plugin side: `EngineInterface` also has a ctrlc_handlers Vec of
closures. Plugin calls can use `register_ctrlc_handler` to register a
closure that will be called in the plugin process when the
PluginInput::Ctrlc command is received.
For future reference these are some alternate places that were
investigated for tying the ctrlc trigger to transmitting a Ctrlc packet
through the `PluginInterface`:
- Directly from `src/signals.rs`: the handler there would need a
reference to the Vec<Arc<RegisteredPlugins>>, which would require us to
wrap the plugins in a Mutex, which we don't want to do.
- have `PersistentPlugin.get_plugin` pass down the engine's
CtrlcHandlers to .get and then to .spawn (if the plugin isn't already
running). Once we have CtrlcHandlers in spawn, we can register a handler
to write directly to PluginInterface. We don't want to double down on
passing engine_state to spawn this way though, as it's unpredictable
because it would depend on whether the plugin has already been spawned
or not.
- pass `ctrlc_handlers` to PersistentPlugin::new so it can store it on
itself so it's available to spawn.
- in `PersistentPlugin.spawn`, create a handler that sends to a clone of
the GC event loop's tx. this has the same issues with regards to how to
get CtrlcHandlers to the spawn method, and is more complicated than a
handler that writes directly to PluginInterface

```
if you want it to actually link. I think I found and replaced all of

# 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.

# Description
Add `README.md` files to each crate in our workspace (-plugins) and also
include it in the `lib.rs` documentation for <docs.rs> (if there is no
existing `lib.rs` crate documentation)
In all new README I added the defensive comment that the crates are not
considered stable for public consumption. If necessary we can adjust
this if we deem a crate useful for plugin authors.
# 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 } }

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.

# 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
Bug fix: `PipelineData::check_external_failed()` was not preserving the
original `type_` and `known_size` attributes of the stream passed in for
streams that come from children, so `external-command | into binary` did
not work properly and always ended up still being unknown type.
# User-Facing Changes
The following test case now works as expected:
```nushell
> head -c 2 /dev/urandom | into binary
# Expected: pretty hex dump of binary
# Previous behavior: just raw binary in the terminal
```
# Tests + Formatting
Added a test to cover this to `into binary`
This reverts commit 0cfd5fbece.
The original PR messed up syntax higlighting of aliases and causes
panics of completion in the presence of alias.

# Description
Provides the ability to use http commands as part of a pipeline.
Additionally, this pull requests extends the pipeline metadata to add a
content_type field. The content_type metadata field allows commands such
as `to json` to set the metadata in the pipeline allowing the http
commands to use it when making requests.
This pull request also introduces the ability to directly stream http
requests from streaming pipelines.
One other small change is that Content-Type will always be set if it is
passed in to the http commands, either indirectly or throw the content
type flag. Previously it was not preserved with requests that were not
of type json or form data.
# User-Facing Changes
* `http post`, `http put`, `http patch`, `http delete` can be used as
part of a pipeline
* `to text`, `to json`, `from json` all set the content_type metadata
field and the http commands will utilize them when making requests.
# Description
Currently, this pipeline doesn't work `open --raw file | take 100`,
since the type of the byte stream is `Unknown`, but `take` expects
`Binary` streams. This PR changes commands that expect
`ByteStreamType::Binary` to also work with `ByteStreamType::Unknown`.
This was done by adding two new methods to `ByteStreamType`:
`is_binary_coercible` and `is_string_coercible`. These return true if
the type is `Unknown` or matches the type in the method name.
# Description
Makes the `from json --objects` command produce a stream, and read
lazily from an input stream to produce its output.
Also added a helper, `PipelineData::get_type()`, to make it easier to
construct a wrong type error message when matching on `PipelineData`. I
expect checking `PipelineData` for either a string value or an `Unknown`
or `String` typed `ByteStream` will be very, very common. I would have
liked to have a helper that just returns a readable stream from either,
but that would either be a bespoke enum or a `Box<dyn BufRead>`, which
feels like it wouldn't be so great for performance. So instead, taking
the approach I did here is probably better - having a function that
accepts the `impl BufRead` and matching to use it.
# User-Facing Changes
- `from json --objects` no longer collects its input, and can be used
for large datasets or streams that produce values over time.
# Tests + Formatting
All passing.

# 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
Kind of a vague title, but this PR does two main things:
1. Rather than overriding functions like `Command::is_parser_keyword`,
this PR instead changes commands to override `Command::command_type`.
The `CommandType` returned by `Command::command_type` is then used to
automatically determine whether `Command::is_parser_keyword` and the
other `is_{type}` functions should return true. These changes allow us
to remove the `CommandType::Other` case and should also guarantee than
only one of the `is_{type}` functions on `Command` will return true.
2. Uses the new, reworked `Command::command_type` function in the `scope
commands` and `which` commands.
# User-Facing Changes
- Breaking change for `scope commands`: multiple columns (`is_builtin`,
`is_keyword`, `is_plugin`, etc.) have been merged into the `type`
column.
- Breaking change: the `which` command can now report `plugin` or
`keyword` instead of `built-in` in the `type` column. It may also now
report `external` instead of `custom` in the `type` column for known
`extern`s.
# Description
This PR makes some commands and areas of code preserve pipeline
metadata. This is in an attempt to make the issue described in #12599
and #9456 less likely to occur. That is, reading and writing to the same
file in a pipeline will result in an empty file. Since we preserve
metadata in more places now, there will be a higher chance that we
successfully detect this error case and abort the pipeline.
# Description
Forgot that I fixed this already on my branch, but when printing without
a display output hook, the implicit call to `table` gets its output
mangled with newlines (since #12774). This happens when running `nu -c`
or a script file.
Here's that fix in one PR so it can be merged easily.

# 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.
