Using the `*` wildcard should not attempt to delete files with a leading dot unless the more explicit `.*` is used. `rm *` should also not attempt to delete the current directory or its parent directory (`.` and `..`). I have resolved this bug as well in a less satisfactory way. I think it may be the case that we can only disambiguate the `.` and `..` path segments by using `Path::display`. Here is a short list of alternatives that I tried: - `Path::ends_with()` can detect `/..` but not `/.`. - `Path::iter()` and `Path::components()` leave out `/.`. - `Path::file_name()` normalizes `/.` to the parent component's file name. Fixes #3508 |

Nu-Engine
Nu-engine handles most of the core logic of nushell. For example, engine handles: - Passing of data between commands - Evaluating a commands return values - Loading of user configurations
Top level introduction
The following topics shall give the reader a top level understanding how various topics are handled in nushell.
How are environment variables handled?
Environment variables (or short envs) are stored in the Scope
of the EvaluationContext
. That means that environment variables are scoped by default and we don't use std::env
to store envs (but make exceptions where convenient).
Nushell handles environment variables and their lifetime the following:
- At startup all existing environment variables are read and put into
Scope
. (Nushell reads existing environment variables platform independent by asking theHost
. They will most likely come fromstd::env::*
) - Envs can also be loaded from config files. Each loaded config produces a new
ScopeFrame
with the envs of the loaded config. - Nu-Script files and internal commands read and write env variables from / to the
Scope
. External scripts and binaries can't interact with theScope
. Therefore all env variables are read from theScope
and put into the external binaries environment-variables-memory area.
