0.60 release checklist

[sophiajt]

(warning: this list may not be complete, and may have items added as we discover them):

Commands

• post - [efx]
• benchmark (remaining: passthrough param)
• match (regex type) (Jakub: I'd suggest folding it into find)
• roll (roll, roll column, roll up)
• headers
• format filesize
• chart (chart, chart bar, chart line)
• histogram
• reduce (parser support for $acc and $it instead of putting both inside $it)
• save --append
• group-by date (jt: this should probably be group-by --date since group-by date is ambiguous with a "date" as a column name')
• into cell-path? (jt: is there a use case for this one? I think since e-q allows strings as cell-paths you might not need it?)
• plug-ins: to bson, from bson
• plug-ins: to sqlite, from sqlite
• plug-ins: s3
• plug-ins: binaryview (no need to port)
• plug-ins: start
• plug-ins: inc (still needs some work)

Features

• finish custom external completions, git as main use case for initial design
• generate a config.nu if it's not there Ask to generate a default config.nu if we don't find one #4348
• lib_dirs (path for scripts, so use will look in these dirs)
• LAST_EXIT_CODE to get the exit code of the last command (internal or external)
• Update https://www.nushell.sh/book/command_reference.html
• Automatic parsing of env vars (like PATH/Path) based on OS without needing config.nu
• Cell-path completions About the table's autocomplete in new nushell #4372
• Use kebab-case instead of snake_case for config points (jt: if column names are snake_case, then the config points would also be snake_case)
• Use kebab-case instead of snake_case for cell paths (e.g., help commands) (jt: I think we ended up thinking column names should be snake_case. with that being true, cell paths would also be snake_case)
• Update README

Missing config points - to add or not to add?

• complete_from_path: bool
• ctrlc_exit: bool
• disable_table_indexes: bool
• nonzero_exit_errors: bool
• skip_welcome_message: bool (jt: we no longer show a welcome message, so this probably isn't needed?)
• pivot_mode: auto, always, never (jt: because of records, some cases we needed this aren't needed anymore. I don't think we need this?)

3rd Party Integrations

We should ensure these are working or pr changes to their repo.

• zoxide
• starship - works
• starship script to PR
• starship docs to PR
• python virtualenv
• couchbase
• oh-my-posh - works
• oh-my-posh docs to PR

Document as "needs design" post-merge

• Autoenv
• history file vs. multiple sessions? should be taken care of by Make appending and truncating history file thread safe reedline#299

CI / Repo Root folders

• release ci - do we need any changes? wix, etc
• winget ci
• stale ci - keep or chunk?
• wasm (won't block release if we don't get to it)

Bugs

• use + path autocomplete: Path autocompletion does not work with use argument #4352
• Aliases crashing Alias-related panic when tab-completion menu is open #4303

Checks

• make sure LS_COLORS is retained when passing ls through all the filters commands (see fix to retain ls_colors coloring from ls engine-q#824) (fixed sort-by, find, merge, others?)
• skip loses ls_colors #4309 - closed by fix: lose ls_colors in some filters commands #4525
• first loses ls_colors #4306 - closed by fix: lose ls_colors in some filters commands #4525
• last - closed by fix: lose ls_colors in some filters commands #4525
• reverse - closed by fix: lose ls_colors in some filters commands #4525
• roll commands maintain ls_colors #4444
• (ls | sort-by name) and other subexpressions lose ls_colors #4501
• String created from external command output does not preserve colors #4503
• make sure globs with external commands expand properly with PWD (du -s * doesn't work engine-q#835 and chmod not support change mode to all files with * engine-q#826)

I would add a check for python's virtualenv

[kubouch]

TIL zip is already ported

[ghost]

I will try porting find
nushell/engine-q#658 is WIP 😄

[lukexor]

Also add that starship works but not out of the box with the default line_break module enabled. See nushell/engine-q#575

Work-around:

let-env PROMPT_COMMAND = { starship prompt | decode utf8 | str find-replace -a (char newline) (char crlf) }

[eggcaker]

I'm not sure I can do, but I want to try to learn more with just port a simple command , like du ?

[fdncred]

I'm not sure I can do, but I want to try to learn more with just port a simple command , like du ?

go for it. just copy it from nushell and try to change the primitive types to engine-q types. This issue has some tips at the bottom. nushell/engine-q#242

[eggcaker]

@fdncred did you add my name to the du command already, could you remove for now, seems lot of thing need to learn about nushell and rust .

[fdncred]

sure. no worries.

[lukexor]

Is autoenv being postponed for release? If so it needs to get added to the breaking changes list. It's a critical feature for my every day work and I'd assume for others as well even for those who don't use python. I have several node and java projects with varying versions that I jump between.

[kubouch]

@lukexor Yes, we're leaving autoenv out for the 0.60 release and will re-introduce it later. BTW, what is your use case for autoenv? Do you use it to define environment variables only? Or do you define also custom commands?

[lukexor]

@kubouch Primarily modifying PATH and env vars like JAVA_HOME. Custom commands aren't a concern and have alternative work arounds. At present my only work around is a custom cd command or manually sourcing a nu file

[hustcer]

What's the status of match command ?

[fdncred]

What's the status of match command ?

we're looking for someone to port it and integrate that functionality into find. are you interested?

[hustcer]

@fdncred I'm interested in this, but I'm not familiar with Rust and if I were to develop it, it might take longer than expected. BTW, I don't know much about the overall architecture of the new engine. Is there a developer guide for the new engine? I think I've seen it somewhere, but I don't remember now.

[fdncred]

I don't want you to get overloaded. it would be nice to finish the examples first, if you don't mind. If you're not interested in finishing the examples, that's ok too. just let me know.

[hustcer]

@fdncred Sure, I will add examples for n/p/g/grid soon.
And It will take me some time to learn the other commands: extern, run-external

[fdncred]

@jaeheonji i'll delete it when the other issue is up. thank you for helping us!

[jaeheonji]

@fdncred Cool! thank you 😄 I'll try to create an issue ASAP.

[devurandom]

0.60 has long been released. Can this issue be closed?

[fdncred]

ya, we should probably close it. there are things still not ported but apparently no one really needs that funcitonality.
