# Description
In the past, I've seen this test
`takes_rows_of_nu_value_strings_and_pipes_it_to_stdin_of_external` fail
more than a few times. My only guess was that running external commands
in a cross-platform way can be tricky. This is the main reason we have
some `--testbin` commands, to avoid this situation. With that in mind,
this removes the `^echo` command from this one test and replaces it with
`nu --testbin cococo`, which I believe is our equivalent of echo.
Please comment below if you think this is the wrong strategy. There are
other `^echo` tests but I'm not sure if we can change all of them.

# 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
