Enforce @since tags in block-library/src//.php files #59700

anton-vlasenko · 2024-03-08T00:23:53Z

What?

This PR introduces a new sniff called FunctionCommentSinceTagSniff to ensure that PHP functions have a valid @since tag in the docblock.

The sniff skips checking files in __experimental block-library packages.

Fixes #55777.

Why?

@since tags are helpful for tracking origins and how long things have been in Core.

How?

Defines a new sniff class FunctionCommentSinceTagSniff within the GutenbergCS\Gutenberg\Sniffs\Commenting namespace.
Adds unit tests for the FunctionCommentSinceTagSniff sniff.
Updates existing block-library functions so that they have valid @since tags.

Testing Instructions

Try to define a PHP function somewhere in the block-library/src/*/*.php without a @since tag.
Make sure that CI checks fail.

I don't see it in WordPress core, so that would be correct. The PHP file was added 5 days ago 👍🏻

Impressive detective work adding all missing @since annotations. It must have taken some time to track down the proper versions. I'm not going to validate these numbers and will put trust in you and the collective knowledge of the community that can always follow-up to correct them 😄

The code looks good. I'm starting to get more familiar with PHP sniffs and more open to approve 😄

I left a comment with a suggestion to cover more files that I know we sync with WP core, but it isn't a blocker. In practice, it would require some changes to when to run is_experimantal_package, as it only applies to the packages/block-library. So maybe, another PR.

Nice!

In another PR, we should also include /pacakages/block-serialization-default-parser/.+/*\.php$.

There are two more special core blocks:

widgets/src/blocks/legacy-widget/index.php

widgets/src/blocks/widget-group/index.php

@youknowriad, what do we miss here? Should we discuss in a separate issue what else we could copy from Gutenberg to the core and put under more pressure to follow WP coding standards? 😄

It is interesting that @getdave opened a discussion about this PR yesterday #59786

Yeah, so these files would be good to address next but I wonder if all the php files in Gutenberg should have these rules applied (Manual backports include a lot of copy/pasting of php files)

Thank you for your feedback, @gziolo. Your review is greatly appreciated.
I'd prefer to implement checking files in /pacakages/block-serialization-default-parser and other folders in a follow-up issue as this would allow for incremental improvements while ensuring that the enforcement of @since tags in the Block Library is already in place.

Follow-up issue: #59826

Yes, it is definitely another issue/PR. We better introduce these improvements gradually so we can start catching issues for covered files.

What a detectives work! Great with progress on the @since-tag, and creating a sniff for it! Wow! 👏🏼

youknowriad · 2024-03-13T10:55:02Z

Awesome work here.

2. Don't check for validness of the docblock. This sniff is not designed to do it.

A custom sniff for enforcing @since tags sounds really useful!

I definitely encourage you to contribute this to WPCS, as this is important for WordPress core as well and even plugins and themes. It's the right thing to do.

See WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards#1994

anton-vlasenko · 2024-03-13T19:11:33Z

Great work. I can't believe you found all the @since releases for al those 🤯

I'm of the opinion we should ship and if we find any that are inaccurate we can modify them as needed.

I would encourage you to leave your opinion on the discussion I raised about the need to implement these exact types of automated linting in the project. It would be hugely valuable if you were able to continue down this route.

Thanks again

Thank you, @getdave!
I'm glad you think we should proceed with this PR.
I will look into the issue you mentioned.

Thank you for your suggestion, @swissspidy.
I've already attempted to submit some of my other sniffs to WPCS.
However, the sniff I tried to submit was Gutenberg-specific, and I received feedback from the WPCS maintainers stating that it doesn't belong in the WPCS package (meaning it won't be useful for other WordPress plugins/sites).
I agree with that assessment.
This particular sniff is also Gutenberg-specific, as it checks whether the current block is experimental.
However, if I ever work on a sniff that is more universally applicable, I will consider submitting it to WPCS.
I think that's great idea.

swissspidy · 2024-03-13T19:34:25Z

@anton-vlasenko Yes obviously the sniffs would need to be made generic. In this instance for example there is no reason to include GB-specific stuff in it. I would just make the sniff enforce @since annotations for all functions. You can then either a) create a custom sniff in GB that extends the generic one or b) just exclude experimental block files in the config file. That seems pretty straightforward.

Agan, especially core itself would be really benefit from this and expanding the scope of the contribution would demonstrate the unity of the project instead of working in isolation. Just figured I'd chime in to share a core perspective here.

If you don't have the capacity for this I totally understand of course, so maybe we can start with leaving a comment on that issue.

Yes please 👍 The more we can unify the standards then the easier it will make syncing code from Gutenberg repo to the WP Core repo.

Personally I feel like exploring these opportunities would be a great use of contributor time as - based on my experience in this cycle - I see we all spend too much time on resolving coding standards issues which should be automated.

It's my opinion that we should consider them the same codebase in many ways. Therefore the more alignment we can bring the better. The more of this that is automated the better.

Again I'd love to hear from folks on #59786.

@swissspidy I will think about submitting this sniff to WPCS when it becomes more stable. You've made me reconsider my viewpoint on the matter, and I agree that Core could benefit from it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, @getdave. I appreciate it. I will consider submitting this sniff to WPCS after #59826 is done.
