List of records is not transformed into a table if record fields are not all in the same order #11646
Open
Description
Describe the bug
If a nushell pipeline returns a list of records and all records contain the same fields in the same order, it will be transformed into a table (describe will return table<fields>. However if there is any mismatch in the ordering of the fields (even if the fields are the same) then reported type will be list<any>
How to reproduce
- Run
seq 1 10
| par-each {|x|
[[version patch]; ['1.0.0' false] ['3.0.1' true] ['2.0.0' false]]
# | shuffle
| transpose -i -r -d
}
| describe
- Notice the reported type is
table<1.0.0: bool, 3.0.1: bool, 2.0.0: bool> (stream) - Uncomment the shuffle step and rerun the code
- Notice the reported type is
list<any> (stream)
Expected behavior
I expected nu to consistently convert list of records to table
