Call for Testing: Gutenberg 4.3 Pre-release

This release will have a short turnaround time for testing in order to allow the plugin and core code to get better aligned for merging.

The goal of Gutenberg is to simplify the creation of rich pages and posts in WordPress by replacing old custom HTML, CSS, and shortcodes with native Blocks. The Gutenberg plugin is currently the main focus for the testing group and Gutenberg is theĀ new editing experience in WordPress.Ā 

Download Gutenberg v4.3.0-rc.1

To help test, please download gutenberg.zip from the releases pageĀ or use the button above, install/activate the plugin, and try testing any of the items listed below. If you donā€™t have time to test everything on the list, try just doing a few items. All testing is welcome!

  1. Add several blocks with various alignments (left, right, center) and check to make sure the toolbar appears properly for each one. (11357)
  2. Press meta+AĀ to select a block and meta+AĀ again to select all blocks. Test with Safari and Firefox. (8180)
  3. Test the sibling inserter with Firefox and Safari. (11684)
  4. Create a new post and start typing for at least 10 seconds. Verify that autosave does not occur while typing and that autosave does occur after 10 seconds of no action. (10103)
  5. Add a pullquote and change the colors in various ways. Make sure the text is readable. (10792)

  8. Drag and drop multiple files into the editor and check that file blocks are created for each one. (11297)
  9. Insert a thumbnail-sized image and set the link settings to media file. Check that clicking on the image from the published post opens the full-sized image. (11254)
  10. Change the permalink for an existing post and save changes. Make sure the ā€œView asā€ link in the black toolbar at the top works as expected. (11262)
  11. Try opening a draft or a previously published post, do not make changes, close the browser tabā€”make sure you are not prompted to save changes if you opened a post and did not make any changes. (4687)
  12. Activate a dropdown item, such as the inserter, and click outside of it to close the dropdown. (11253)
  13. Add a YouTube URL to a video block and make sure it gets added as a working YouTube embed. (6824)

  17. There is more to test! See Whatā€™s new in Gutenberg? (30th Oct)Ā .

Accessibility Related

I wanted to call out accessibility-related testing steps this time in order to highlight some of the important accessibility updates coming through right now and because it may make sense to group them together while testing. Anyone can help test these!

  1. Type some text into a paragraph block and check that the toolbar shows when you press Escape. (10906)

Bonus Round

Iā€™m also adding a separate section as an optional bonus round for testing. You should test these if you know of (or can find) custom plugins that use some of the updated capabilities (such as registering new toolbar buttons in blocks) or if you would like to help test Gutenberg with popular plugins. If you think of a plugin youā€™d like to see added, please comment to note it!

  1. Add a WordPress embed and check that there is not a big empty space after the block. (10985)
  2. Find a plugin that adds buttons to any block toolbar and check that the added buttons are working as expected. (11196)

  4. i18n: change your site language to something other than English and check that taxonomy panels display localized strings. (8449)
  5. i18n: install a plugin which contains a block name made in a non-Latin script (e.g.Ā Š”ŠæŠøсŠ¾ŠŗĀ for the List block in Russian) and check that the block appears when you type /сŠæ into a new block. Note that searching for names with diacrytics should also work. (10961, 10770)
  6. Plugin developers can now disable post publishing (lock the post) if certain conditions arenā€™t met such as a required a minimum title length, requiring a featured image, disallowing certain types of content, etc. If you have a plugin which has a pre-publish lock or checklist, can you note it in the comments with testing steps? šŸ™‚ (10649)
  7. Test withĀ Advanced Custom Forms (ACF).
  8. Test withĀ Yoast SEO.

If you find a new bug, please file it in gutenberg on GitHub. Thank you!

Block developers: note that there are several deprecations in 4.2 to keep an eye on. It is also noteworthy that you can now write a format that is usable across all blocks that use RichTextĀ (10209).

Gutenberg Needs Testing Areas

The goal of Gutenberg is to simplify the creation of rich pages and posts in WordPress by replacing old custom HTML, CSS, and shortcodes with native Blocks. Gutenberg development is moving fast right now and there are a few general areas which could use extra help with testing.

If you are here to help, thank you so much! To triage issues that have been reported by others, use the steps for testing bugs in the make/test handbook as a good starting place and guideline. To test in general, see the lists below for ideas about what to test and then either file an issue, post a comment here, or mention your findings in #core-test on WordPress Slack. All testing is welcome!

Some general areas that need testing are:

  1. Everything in the Needs Testing label. Use the steps for testing bugs. šŸ˜Š
  2. RTL languages.
  3. Roles/Capabilities.
  4. Undo/Redo.

Areas that need testing from a developer perspective:

  1. Everything in the Needs Technical Feedback label. šŸ˜Š
  2. Backwards Compatibility label.

Testing ideas to help you get started:

  1. Switch to an RTL language and try adding as many different types of blocks as possible.
  2. Switch to an RTL language and test all of the sidebar settings such as categories, tags, changing the publish date, etc.
  3. Create and schedule a new post. Try from a different role.
  4. Create and publish a post with several different blocks using the Editor role.
  5. Create and publish a post with several different blocks using the Author role.
  6. Create and submit a post with several different blocks using the Contributor role.
  7. Add a pending post as one user and try to approve it as another user.
  8. Edit the demo post, make changes, undo and redo the changes as you go.
  9. Edit a page and try making changes and then undoing the changes.
  10. Publish a post with a block type you havenā€™t used before yet.
  11. Developers: reach out to those with questions atĀ Needs Technical FeedbackĀ and chime in if you can confirm a bug or give an alternate code-related solution to a help request. ā¤ļø
  12. If you have an idea about something else to test, add it in the comments!

If you find a new bug, please file it in gutenberg on GitHub. Thank you!

If you are new to testing Gutenberg, the first thing youā€™ll want to do is get setup for testing with one of the following options:

The stable release is the easiest to test and the local dev env is a bit more technical. Testing any of these will be a great option at this stage. Choose whichever works well for you! If youā€™re not sure which one to pick, ask andĀ someone will help. šŸ¤“

Any questions? Please ask here or in #core-test on WordPress Slack any time! We would love to see you there.

  12. There were several other improvements and bug fixes in the 3.7 release and this list tries to cover the more major updates so we can have a good starting point for testing. Alternately, just run a general test writing or editing posts and pages as you would normally!

If you find a new bug, file it in gutenberg on GitHub.

Please feel free to discuss testing practices or issues here in the comments or in #core-test on WordPress SlackĀ any time.

Would you like to help test Gutenberg?

We would love to have you! Gutenberg releases are happening every few weeks right now.

To help with general testing after opting in to the ā€œTry Gutenbergā€ callout in the WordPress 4.9.8 dashboard, please comment here or say hello in #core-test on WordPress Slack.

To help with pre-release testing, or regression testing, first get a testing environment setup.

If you find a new bug, file it in gutenberg on GitHub.

Anyone can jump in to help with issues labeled Needs Testing and if you are a developer then issues labeled Needs Technical Feedback would be a great place to lend a hand. See the bug testing guidelines in the handbook for some tips.

If you want to help and arenā€™t sure where to start, just ask!
