Comment (by andfinally):
We are getting this issue in unit tests for RSS feeds. I believe this
problem appeared after the WordPress 6.8.1 update.
When we include the markup of an image block in a test post, example
below, the test fails, and we get the notice:
{{{
Notice: Function rest_validate_value_from_schema was called
<strong>incorrectly</strong>. The "type" schema keyword for caption can
only be one of the built-in types: array, object, string, number, integer,
boolean, and null. Please see <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org
/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/">Debugging in
WordPress</a> for more information. (This message was added in version
5.5.0.) in /tmp/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114
}}}
{{{
<!-- wp:image {"url":"http://example.org/wp-
content/uploads/2022/03/55038451-0-image-a-2_1646636766274.jpg?quality=90\u0026strip=all","caption":"Lorem
ipsum","id":10853156,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} -->
}}}
It looks like the following call stack is being run:
{{{
\do_blocks
-> \render_block
-> \WP_Block::render
-> \WP_Block::__get
-> \WP_Block_Type::prepare_attributes_for_render
-> \rest_validate_value_from_schema
}}}
When `rest_validate_value_from_schema` gets to the caption, the parameters
are:
{{{
Value: Lorem ipsum
Schema: Array
(
[type] => rich-text
[source] => rich-text
[selector] => figcaption
[role] => content
)
}}}
This is validating the post content against the data types defined in the
`block.json` file for the `core/image` block. There, `rich-text` is an
acceptable type. But `rest_validate_value_from_schema` expects `string`,
and complains.
To me, this doesn't look like a Gutenberg bug but an issue in the PHP.
