# Description
Previously `nix run nixpkgs#hello` was lexed as `Item, Item, Item,
Comment`, however, `#hello` is *not* supposed to be a comment here and
should be parsed as part of the third `Item`.
This change introduces this behavior by not interrupting the parse of
the current token upon seeing a `#`.
Thank you so much for considering this, I think many `nix` users will be
grateful for this change and I think this will lead to more adaptation
in the ecosystem.
- closes#8137 and #6335
# User-Facing Changes
- code like `somecode# bla` and `somecode#bla` will not be parsed as
`somecode, comment` but as `somecode#bla`, hence this is a breaking
change for all users who didn't put a space before a comment introducing
token (`#`)
# Tests + Formatting
I've added tests that cover this behavior in `test_lex.rs`
- [x] `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting
(`cargo fmt --all` applies these changes)
- [x] `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- [x] `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.
I think this is expected behavior in most other shells, so the
documentation was lacking for not documenting the unexpected behavior
before and hence now is automatically more complete >D
