fixes #8551 # Description Use `open::commands` function to get list of command available for starting given path. run commands directly, providing environment, until one of them is successful. example of output if start was not successful: ``` ~\code\nushell> start ..\nustart\a.myext 09/12/2023 01:37:55 PM Error: nu:🐚:external_command × External command failed ╭─[entry #1:1:1] 1 │ start ..\nustart\a.myext · ─────────┬──────── · ╰── No command found to start with this path ╰──── help: Try different path or install appropriate command Command `cmd /c start "" "..\nustart\a.myext"` failed with exit code: 1 ``` # User-Facing Changes `start` command now provides environment to the external command. This is how it worked in `nu 0.72`, see linked issue. # Tests + Formatting `start` command didn't have any tests and this PR does not add any. Integration-level tests will require setup specific to OS and potentially change global environment on testing machine. For unit-level test it is possible to test `try_commands` function. But is still runs external commands, and robust test will require apriori knowledge which commands are necessary successful to run and which are not.
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
