Week in Test – 4 Oct 2021 – DocsWP

Welcome to this week’s edition of Week in Test! This post is a curated list of where you can get involved (i.e. where testers of all skill levels and expertise are needed), learning opportunities, and some reading to keep you informed.

🙋‍♀️ 🙋 Contributing: Tester Help Needed

Looking for ways to contribute? The following tickets and patches need contributors.

Manual testing help needed

Who? All contributors (not just developers) who can set up a local testing environment, apply patches, and test per the testing instructions.

The following tickets need testers to manual test and provide feedback (test report):

~~#53275: Wrap options on plugin page to second line~~ Done ✅
#53801 Block-based widgets screen does action wp_footer after each widget
~~#52241: Windows OS specific – infinite loop in clean_dirsize_cache()~~ Done ✅

PHPUnit tests help needed

Who? Any QA or PHP developer contributors who can (or is interested in learning how to) build automated PHPUnit tests.

The following tickets need PHPUnit tests build:

#47642: Order by comment count – posts list tables
~~#52241: Windows OS specific – infinite loop in clean_dirsize_cache()~~ Done ✅
#50567: Set $post in update_post_cache()
#49985: REST API: Using _embed and _fields query parameters in the same query
#52252: PHP Notice when monthnum query var is set without the year QV

Reproducing reported issue help needed:

Who? Any contributor.

The following new tickets need testers to attempt reproducing the reported issue and then providing a test report with the results:

~~#54192 – get_header_image_tag doesn’t add srcset/sizes~~ Needs reporter feedback ✅
~~#54205 – jqxhr is undefined inside of deferred.done() when using wp.media to add a custom image upload~~ Needs reporter feedback ✅
~~#54211 – Small css bug when using customize-controls in customizer.php~~ Done ✅

Reproducing the reported issue is the first step in a new defect ticket’s lifecycle. Why? In order to fix a bug, first step is confirm the bug is reproducible and is due to WordPress Core itself (and not a third party like a plugin or theme).
