* start playing with ways to use the uniq command
* WIP
* Got uniq working, but still need to figure out args issue and add tests
* Add some tests for uniq
* fmt
* remove commented out code
* Add documentation and some additional tests showing uniq values and rows. Also removed args TODO
* add changes that didn't get committed
* whoops, I didn't save the docs correctly...
* fmt
* Add a test for uniq with nested json
* Add another test
* Fix unique-ness when json keys are out of order and make the test json more complicated
* Manifests check. Ignore doctests for now.
* We continue with refactorings towards the separation of concerns between
crates. `nu_plugin_inc` and `nu_plugin_str` common test helpers usage
has been refactored into `nu-plugin` value test helpers.
Inc also uses the new API for integration tests.
This provides a huge performance boost for pipelines that end in an
external command. Rough testing shows an improvement from roughly 400ms
to 30ms when `cat`-ing a large file.
Add tests for ~tilde expansion:
- test that "~" is expanded (no more "~" in output)
- ensure that "1~1" is not expanded to "1/home/user1" as it was
before
Fixes#972
Note: the first test does not check the literal expansion because
the path on Windows is expanded as a Linux path, but the correct
expansion may come for free once `shellexpand` will use the `dirs`
crate too (https://github.com/netvl/shellexpand/issues/3).
This commit contains two improvements:
- Support for a Range syntax (and a corresponding Range value)
- Work towards a signature syntax
Implementing the Range syntax resulted in cleaning up how operators in
the core syntax works. There are now two kinds of infix operators
- tight operators (`.` and `..`)
- loose operators
Tight operators may not be interspersed (`$it.left..$it.right` is a
syntax error). Loose operators require whitespace on both sides of the
operator, and can be arbitrarily interspersed. Precedence is left to
right in the core syntax.
Note that delimited syntax (like `( ... )` or `[ ... ]`) is a single
token node in the core syntax. A single token node can be parsed from
beginning to end in a context-free manner.
The rule for `.` is `<token node>.<member>`. The rule for `..` is
`<token node>..<token node>`.
Loose operators all have the same syntactic rule: `<token
node><space><loose op><space><token node>`.
The second aspect of this pull request is the beginning of support for a
signature syntax. Before implementing signatures, a necessary
prerequisite is for the core syntax to support multi-line programs.
That work establishes a few things:
- `;` and newlines are handled in the core grammar, and both count as
"separators"
- line comments begin with `#` and continue until the end of the line
In this commit, multi-token productions in the core grammar can use
separators interchangably with spaces. However, I think we will
ultimately want a different rule preventing separators from occurring
before an infix operator, so that the end of a line is always
unambiguous. This would avoid gratuitous differences between modules and
repl usage.
We already effectively have this rule, because otherwise `x<newline> |
y` would be a single pipeline, but of course that wouldn't work.
