# Description
This allows empty pipelines to pass their emptiness through a filter.
This helps fix issues like trying to run a filter on an `ls` in an empty
directory. It also feels a bit more reasonable that a filter filters
what is *there* but doesn't require something to be there.
fixes#8393
# User-Facing Changes
No breaking changes (that I know of). Should allow filtering to be a
little less surprising with emptiness.
# Tests + Formatting
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
# After Submitting
If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.
