I have a command line program at work which outputs json. Pure JSON in all situations.
I thought nushell would be able to make sense of that and display it semi-nicely.
Nushell pukes on it, errors out, and doesn’t even show the output of the command. As far as sins go for a shell, not showing the output of the program it just ran is very high among them.
nushell had its chance with me.
- jknutson 10mo agoWith external commands you might have to collect the output of the program before doing any sort of manipulation. I’ve been got by this before too; the fix is simple (for me at least). `external.exe | collect | from json` et voila
- orthoxerox 10mo agoThis doesn't look like a pit of success design.
- jknutson 10mo agoWell, every shell has its quirks and gotchas. I’ve found nushell’s to be the least intrusive and most workable thus far.
