Related to #8189.
Should close#8302.
Important to:
- have a complete `$nu` structure with all available information
- generate an accurate website, because the `make_docs.nu` script of
`nushell.github.io` uses `$nu.scope.command` to generate the pages of
https://nushell.sh/commands/
> **Note**
> i was looking for "scope" in the source of `nushell` to augment
`$nu.scope` and i found `crates/nu-engine/src/scope.rs` that defines
`nu_engine::scope::create_scope` which lead me to
`nu_engine::scope::ScopeData.collect_commands`.
> i hope this is the right file 😌
# Description
this PR slightly modifies
`nu_engine::scope::ScopeData.collect_commands`:
- add the "result" column to `$nu.scope.commands.examples`
- put the result of the example when a valid `Option(Value)`
- put a `Value::Nothing` when the result is set to `None` in the source
of the command
# User-Facing Changes
users can now access the results of all examples in
```bash
$nu.scope.commands | where name == <command> | get examples.0.result
```
## example...
### ...with a command that defines examples: `merge`
```bash
>_ $nu.scope.commands | where name == merge | get examples.0 | reject description | table --expand
╭───┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────╮
│ # │ example │ result │
├───┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────────────────┤
│ 0 │ [a b c] | wrap name | merge ( [1 2 3] | wrap index ) │ ╭───┬──────╮ │
│ │ │ │ # │ name │ │
│ │ │ ├───┼──────┤ │
│ │ │ │ 1 │ a │ │
│ │ │ │ 2 │ b │ │
│ │ │ │ 3 │ c │ │
│ │ │ ╰───┴──────╯ │
│ 1 │ {a: 1, b: 2} | merge {c: 3} │ ╭───┬───╮ │
│ │ │ │ a │ 1 │ │
│ │ │ │ b │ 2 │ │
│ │ │ │ c │ 3 │ │
│ │ │ ╰───┴───╯ │
│ 2 │ [{columnA: A0 columnB: B0}] | merge [{columnA: 'A0*'}] │ ╭───┬─────────┬─────────╮ │
│ │ │ │ # │ columnA │ columnB │ │
│ │ │ ├───┼─────────┼─────────┤ │
│ │ │ │ 0 │ A0* │ B0 │ │
│ │ │ ╰───┴─────────┴─────────╯ │
╰───┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────────────────────╯
```
and we can check that these are "true" results and not just string, e.g.
```bash
>_ $nu.scope.commands | where name == merge | get examples.0.result.0 | describe
table<name: string, index: int>
```
### ...with a command without any example: `open`
```bash
>_ $nu.scope.commands | where name == open | get examples.0 | reject description | table --expand
╭───┬──────────────────────────────────────┬────────╮
│ # │ example │ result │
├───┼──────────────────────────────────────┼────────┤
│ 0 │ open myfile.json │ │
│ 1 │ open myfile.json --raw │ │
│ 2 │ 'myfile.txt' | open │ │
│ 3 │ open myfile.txt --raw | decode utf-8 │ │
╰───┴──────────────────────────────────────┴────────╯
```
and same thing, we can check that there is `$nothing` in this last
command
```bash
>_ $nu.scope.commands | where name == open | get examples.0.result.0 | describe
table<name: string, index: int>
```
# Tests + Formatting
- ✔️ `cargo fmt --all`
- ✔️ `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D
clippy::unwrap_used -A clippy::needless_collect`
- ✔️ `cargo test --workspace` (~~currently running~~)
# After Submitting
the documentation would have to be regenerated!
# Description
Relative:
`https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/7889#issuecomment-1407503567`
Make `search_terms` return empty string rather than nothing, so some
other command can handle it better
# User-Facing Changes
_(List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This helps
us keep track of breaking changes.)_
# Tests + Formatting
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
# After Submitting
If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.
* Add input and output types to $nu.scope.commands
This commit changes the schema: instead of
command.signature: table
we now have
command.signatures: list<table>
with one signature for every input-output type pair.
* Represent signatures as a map from input_type to signature
* Sort signature entries
* Drop command name from signature tables
* Don't use "rest" as name of rest parameter; use empty string instead
* Bug fix: was creating records with repeated keys
E.g.
$nu.scope.commands | where name == 'hash sha256' | get signatures.0 | table -e
$nu.scope.commands | where name == 'transpose' | get signatures.0 | table -e
