Again, for this particular question/answer, we had to work around a bug that existed at the time, along with the OP's actual request (which was more complex than simply "recursively listing files".
Mar 3, 2023 at 19:27 comment added reinier I found this page as I had the exact same question: How to list files recursively as ls -r doesn't exist. Stackoverflow works best if I go to the accepted answer and just read the solution without needing to find it hidden in the question itself somewhere. If I want to understand the why, and dive deep, it's great that more text and explainers are given. With google surfacing this page as the first hit for listing files recursively it might be a good edit to list the intended way to do it, and then explain with more text on why it has issues and possible workarounds....
Mar 2, 2023 at 13:37 comment added NotTheDr01ds @reinier I tend to answer the question asked in the body rather than just the "summary" or "title". The normal ways of recursively listing the files with nushell are covered in the question itself. My answer covers why these weren't working for the OP's specific use-case.
