LGTM, thanks! |

@eminence would you mind doing another release sometime in the near future that has this change in it? We need it to enable wasm in nushell. |

Please, check our [contributing guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and talk to the core team before making major changes. Description of your pull request goes here. **Provide examples and/or screenshots** if your changes affect the user experience. --> The [nushell/demo](https://github.com/nushell/demo) project successfully demonstrated running Nushell in the browser using WASM. However, the current version of Nushell cannot be easily built for the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target, the default for `wasm-bindgen`. This PR introduces initial support for the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target by disabling OS-dependent features such as filesystem access, IO, and platform/system-specific functionality. This separation is achieved using a new `os` feature in the following crates: - `nu-cmd-lang` - `nu-command` - `nu-engine` - `nu-protocol` The `os` feature includes all functionality that interacts with an operating system. It is enabled by default, but can be disabled using `--no-default-features`. All crates that depend on these core crates now use `--no-default-features` to allow compilation for WASM. To demonstrate compatibility, the following script builds all crates expected to work with WASM. Direct user interaction, running external commands, working with plugins, and features requiring `openssl` are out of scope for now due to their complexity or reliance on C libraries, which are difficult to compile and link in a WASM environment. ```nushell [ # compatible crates "nu-cmd-base", "nu-cmd-extra", "nu-cmd-lang", "nu-color-config", "nu-command", "nu-derive-value", "nu-engine", "nu-glob", "nu-json", "nu-parser", "nu-path", "nu-pretty-hex", "nu-protocol", "nu-std", "nu-system", "nu-table", "nu-term-grid", "nu-utils", "nuon" ] | each {cargo build -p $in --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --no-default-features} ``` ## Caveats This PR has a few caveats: 1. **`miette` and `terminal-size` Dependency Issue** `miette` depends on `terminal-size`, which uses `rustix` when the target is not Windows. However, `rustix` requires `std::os::unix`, which is unavailable in WASM. To address this, I opened a [PR](eminence/terminal-size#68) for `terminal-size` to conditionally compile `rustix` only when the target is Unix. For now, the `Cargo.toml` includes patches to: - Use my forked version of `terminal-size`. - ~~Use an unreleased version of `miette` that depends on `terminal-size@0.4`.~~ These patches are temporary and can be removed once the upstream changes are merged and released. 2. **Test Output Adjustments** Due to the slight bump in the `miette` version, one test required adjustments to accommodate minor formatting changes in the error output, such as shifted newlines. # User-Facing Changes <!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This helps us keep track of breaking changes. --> This shouldn't break anything but allows using some crates for targeting `wasm32-unknown-unknown` to revive the demo page eventually. # 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` to check that you're using the standard code style - `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make sure to [enable developer mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging)) - `cargo run -- -c "use toolkit.nu; toolkit test stdlib"` to run the tests for the standard library > **Note** > from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows > ```bash > use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it automatically > toolkit check pr > ``` --> - 🟢 `toolkit fmt` - 🟢 `toolkit clippy` - 🟢 `toolkit test` - 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib` I did not add any extra tests, I just checked that compiling works, also when using the host target but unselecting the `os` feature. # 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. --> ~~Breaking the wasm support can be easily done by adding some `use`s or by adding a new dependency, we should definitely add some CI that also at least builds against wasm to make sure that building for it keep working.~~ I added a job to build wasm. --------- Co-authored-by: Ian Manske <ian.manske@pm.me>

This little change allows building this library on
wasm32-unknown-unknown. Not necessarily wowing for this library but it makes my life easier and we already have a fallback implementation:
