What to Test
To prepare:
- Go to Account > App Settings > Privacy Settings and turn on the Collect information option.
- Go to Account > Help & Support and turn on the Extra Debug option.
- Go to My Site > Settings > Use Block Editor to enable the block editor for new posts.
- If you are comfortable testing in a language other than English, please test in that language.
To test:
- There is a new flow for adding a link! Try it out!
- Open Gutenberg mobile editor and add an unsupported block. Try to click on unsupported block surface and the options sheet should be presented.
- Move the app to the background with the editor open. Bring it back to the foreground and verify everything looks as it should.
- On the password login, tap the login link button. After you see “Check your email”, go back. Verify you can tap the button again.
- On the password login, repeatedly tap the login link button and verify “Check your email” is only displayed once.
- Open a post that has anchors to other areas in the same post, example: https://emilylaguna.wordpress.com/2020/09/30/anchor-2/ and scroll to the anchor. Tap on it and you should be brought to the location in the post for that anchor.
- Open a post with a link to a post with an anchor in the reader, example URL: https://emilylaguna.wordpress.com/2020/09/30/anchor-1/ and tap on the link. If it’s a WP.com post you should be directed to the post in the app, and sent to the anchor once the post loads
