I think this _might_ fix the issues we've been seeing with plugin tests.
In a nutshell, the plugin tests run `cargo build` to ensure that plugins
have been built:
f6ca62384e/crates/nu-test-support/src/commands.rs (L6)
This PR adds a mutex to ensure that we're never running `cargo build`
concurrently. It also uses an atomic bool to signal when plugins have
already been built, so we can avoid invoking `cargo build` multiple
times unnecessarily.
I can't be certain yet, but I'm guessing the macOS CI problems we've
been seeing come from plugin tests clobbering each other (something
like: test 1 builds the `foo` plugin, then test2 invokes `cargo build`
again and deletes the `foo` plugin from disk).
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.
