Comment:

 Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 Looking at the PR, it does not appear to be correct (as demonstrated by
 the failing unit tests), because the third parameter of
 `wp_set_post_terms()` is the taxonomy name, not the post type. Looking
 further, the post type does not seem relevant at all, since the underlying
 `wp_set_object_terms()` does not use it, only the post ID.

 > so `wp_set_post_categories` is not working to map custom category with
 custom post type.

 1. Could you provide the steps to reproduce the issue on a clean install?
 2. `wp_set_post_categories()` is indeed specific to categories by design.
 Perhaps `wp_set_post_terms()` would work for your use case?
