Comment:
== Test Report
=== Description
❌ This report can't fully validate that the indicated patch works as
expected.
Patch tested: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/9973
=== Environment
- WordPress: 6.9-alpha-60093-src
- PHP: 8.2.29
- Server: nginx/1.29.1
- Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.6 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.29)
- Browser: Chrome 139.0.0.0
- OS: Windows 10/11
- Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.3
- MU Plugins: None activated
- Plugins:
* BBB Testing Dolly
* Test Reports 1.2.0
=== Testing Instructions
There are 3 separate tests here
==== Test Taxonomy Template
1. Add the code provided in Supp Artifacts
2. Create a term in Foo Bar for example "Sample Term"
3. Visit that Term, check the debug log.
🐞 Without the patch
{{{
[0] => taxonomy-foo_bar-sample-term.php
[1] => taxonomy-foo_bar.php
[2] => taxonomy.php
}}}
⚠️ With the patch:
{{{
[0] => taxonomy-foo_bar-sample-term.php
[1] => taxonomy-foo-bar.php
[2] => taxonomy-foo_bar.php
[3] => taxonomy.php
}}}
==== Test Post Type
1. Edit the code provided in Supp Artifacts to adapt to post types (need
to register a post_type in this case)
2. Create a post in Foo Bar post type for example "Sample Post Type"
3. Visit that post in this new Post Type
🐞 Without the patch
{{{
[0] => single-foo_bar-sample-post-type.php
[2] => single-foo_bar.php
[3] => single.php
}}}
⚠️ With the patch:
{{{
[0] => single-foo_bar-sample-post-type.php
[1] => single-foo-bar.php
[2] => single-foo_bar.php
[3] => single.php
}}}
=== Actual Results
1. ❌ Issue is not resolved with patch.
=== Additional Notes
- Without the patch, there is no priority for the file without hyphens
- ⚠️ But the patch doesn't cover the template in case of targeting a
specific term. In this case, the correct form should be full hyphened, for
example `taxonomy-foo-bar-sample-term.php` following the same scenario
provided in OP
- Given that the patch was done like 8+ years ago, I'm going to demote it
to `needs-patch` as a whole new version is needed, but if you are willing
to do a new patch take my [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
develop/pull/9973 PR 9973] as a reference.
- One unit tests for each of the 3 forms will be good also.
=== Supplemental Artifacts
Taxonomy Testing
{{{#!php
<?php
add_action( 'init', 'register_test_taxonomy' );
function register_test_taxonomy() {
register_taxonomy(
'foo_bar',
'post',
array(
'label' => 'Foo Bar',
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_rest' => true,
)
);
}
add_filter( 'taxonomy_template_hierarchy', 'log_taxonomy_hierarchy' );
function log_taxonomy_hierarchy( $templates ) {
if ( is_tax( 'foo_bar' ) ) {
error_log( 'taxonomy_template_hierarchy => ' . print_r(
$templates, true ) );
}
return $templates;
}
}}}
