nushell, nushellPlugins: 0.109.1 -> 0.110.0, move from `pkgs/shells` to `pkgs/by-name` by VuiMuich · Pull Request #482961 · NixOS/nixpkgs

VuiMuich · 2026-01-23T08:22:41Z

As per discussion in comment and following we want to use the opportunity of a version update to move nushell and its plugins from pkgs/shells to pkgs/by-name in order to make the packages merge-bot eligible since the respectiv PRs already get opened by @r-ryantm.

Note: #482538 attempts to gather plugins in pkgs/sets, as this structure is intended to be the future way of handling things, but this also requires changes to the merge-bot which is unforseeable, when this might happen, so we want to do the above move first to improve on the freshness of nushell and its plugins.

Updates

nushell: 0.109.1 -> 0.110.0
and the following plugins
desktop_notifications: 0.108.0
hcl: 0.108.0 -> 0.110.0
highlights: 1.4.10+0.108.0 -> 1.4.12+0.110.0
semver: 0.11.8 -> 0.11.10
skim: 0.20.1 -> 0.22.0

Supersedes:
#481226
#480011
#467479
#466499
#466454
#466500

Mentioning the followng init PRs as a heads up for this upcoming change:
#484945
#484947
#420874
#420247
#420202
#350587
#350416
#343036
#254250
Note: to adjust the init PR to the here proposed structure you need to:

move your plugin package definition from pkgs/shells/nushell/nushellPlugins/<plugin-name>.nix to pkgs/by-name/nu/nushell-plugin-<plugin-name>/package.nix
add an entry <plugiin-name> = callPackage ../by-name/nu/nushell-plugin-<plugin-name>/package.nix { }; in pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix at the nushellPlugins section (currently at line 9380)

Things done

-        # add two checks:
-        # - `versionCheckhook`, checks wether it's a binary that is able to
-        #   display its own version
-        # - A check which loads the plugin into the current version of nushell,
-        #   to detect incompatibilities (plugins are compiled for very specific
-        #   versions of nushell). If this fails, either update the plugin or mark
-        #   as broken.
-        withChecks = p.overrideAttrs (
-          final: _prev: {
-            doInstallCheck = true;
-            nativeInstallCheckInputs = [ versionCheckHook ];
-
-            passthru.tests.loadCheck =
-              let
-                nu = lib.getExe nushell;
-                plugin = lib.getExe withChecks;
-              in
-              runCommand "test-load-${final.pname}" { } ''
-                touch $out
-                ${nu} -n -c "plugin add --plugin-config $out ${plugin}"
-                ${nu} -n -c "plugin use --plugin-config $out ${plugin}"
-              '';
-          }
-        );
-      in
-      withChecks


Where would we move this checks? Would we even want to keep them?

If that helps us not lag behind every update I'm all for it

VuiMuich · 2026-01-29T16:12:42Z

For the prospective inits, we will be expected to change the file location on our respective branches? Just clarifying.

If this PR gets accepted as proposed right now, yes, you would need to move the file location to pkgs/by-name/nu/nushell-plugin-<plugin-name>/package.nix and add an entry in pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix in the nushellPlugins section.

If some init PR will get merged before this present PR, I will amend it here.

Looks good to me

desktop_notifications 0.108.0 -> 0.110.0 hcl 0.108.0 -> 0.110.0 highlights 1.4.10+0.108.0 -> 1.4.12+0.110.0 semver 0.11.8 -> 0.11.10 skim 0.20.1 -> 0.22.0

🎉 Thanks for the swift merge!

Now 🤞 for the next version update that bot-merges will work as intended 😀

Is it possible to have gstat = nushell-plugin-gstat; instead?

Idk, I just know that callPackage either expects a default.nix when only presented a path, or explicitly point to the .nix file.
